Coben, Stay strong, resist the urges to smoke. Get out that list of reasons why you quit smoking and make good use of your coping mechanims. Take Care, Melanie ______________________ The SSC Support Team

All day long I have thought of little else other than smoking. I know it will not alleviate my stress, I think at this point, I just want to do it because I can't! I didn't promise anybody anything, I AM my own worst critic and enemy. I think it's because I am only in my first week. Maybe some of you can tell me if I will feel less urgency to smoke??

Hi Christine - Ditto... just hang tight, get a tight hold on yourself, and fill your toolbox with proactive behaviors (to do when you wanna smoke). Just DON'T SMOKE...

CobenFan... Congratulations on making it through Hell Week!!! That is the worse week of anyone's quit and you made it. Yes things to do get much, much better as time goes on. Unfortunatley, it doesn't come without a little bit of grief along the way. Tough it out and know that once you make it through the rough parts, it is so awesome! I promise you, the freedom you will gain from not smoking is worth every bit of agony you may be going through now. You said you just want to smoke because you can't...well, friend you CAN smoke any time you want to. You need to look at your quit in terms of a choice. You have made the choice not to smoke because of several reasons. Putting the quit in this persepctive really helped me a lot. It so much easier to choose to do something than to be forced to do it. Remember to follow N.O.P.E Not One Puff Ever and you've got it made! In time those constant thoughts of smoking will go away. Just hang on and try to distract yourself as much as possible until you get there.

Hi, Christine. Lady said it all. Read her post carefully. It's all true. It will get easier. The craving/thinking will get less often and less intense, at the same time you're ability to deal with it will improve. That's win-win. Just do not ever think of this as something you are taking away from yourself. It isn't. It is something you are giving yourself - better health, longer life, freedom. You've got a great quit going, Christine. Congratulations on completing hell week. :) Shevie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/23/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 313 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,278 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1189.4 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 58 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 36 [B]Seconds:[/B] 22
