Thanks carpe!
We have made it very far. I cannot look back.
I love being a non-smoker!
I walked to a nail salon and then back yesterday. I am not sure how many miles that is, but it was about 1 hour to get there and 1 hour to get back.
It was nice to be outside on such a beautiful day and smell spring without worrying about smoking!
I feel free. I really do.
Did anyone ever figure out why the IM is not working? The thread that I was on was deleted.

By the way, Nascarfan... I have to point this out because this made me chuckle and laugh and I TOTALLY relate!!

Don't you just love how we find our little victories where we can and hang on to 'em??
That is so awesome that you already made it an hour before hitting the gum. Did you EVER think you woulda made it even that long??
Soon, it'll be an hour and 15 minutes and then it'll be Parade time! [IMG]http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c157/bingo969/Smilies/rofl.gif[/IMG]
I mean this both tongue in cheek and with all respect, just in case that aint clear.

Hahahaha, not! Man, I woke up this morning with the worst craving/attitude. I about exploded at everyone in my path. My hubby is trying to be supportive but after so much he told me to have a frikin cig. I didn't~! I won't. I wanted to though. I tried to explain to him what I have been feeling but he doesn't quite get it completely.
\
I am all calm now but not til after I said some nasty things. He still smokes and I am jealous of that (why, I don't know) but I am! I don't want to be! I will not ever smoke again, that I know. Today was my test because that was a perfect out. I was angry and upset and raging and felt like I needed one so bad. Guess what? I don't need to smoke anymore. I kept reminding myself that we fight when I do smoke so its no difference.
I think I did well. I just hope this nastiness goes away. I have been doing really well but the demon reared his ugly head today!!!

I know! I am bad about not turning anger onto others. I do so well when its just me and my son but once hubby is there I just lose it! I will get through this hopefully with my marriage intact...this too shall pass!

Ya know, I am not feelin the support really! I kind of feel that I am giving a heck of a lot more than I am recieving. I am not sure why people don't respond much to my posts but it is kind of hurtful.

Well, sorry abuot my fit there. I know weekends are slow but just in my pity pot. I went outside and watered the lawn and relaxed. I feel a bit better now. I appreciate nobody rippin me out for being a wah wah! ha. I have noticed that sometimes it takes a while for anyone to respond to any posts but I just felt like I needed some words sooner than that. Anyhow, I survived without smoking and to me that us what is most important!
Yeah, Islandgirl, I will be watching the race tonight actually. Its the saturday night all star challenge...no points, just a free for all and the winner takes a million bucks, everyone else gets nada! Kasey Kahne is on the pole (starting 1st) so I am rooting for him. See, it is going to be a good night!
Thanks all

Hey Free, Love your new name! Thanks for responding and understanding how I feel. (and everyone else as well)
The messanger makes my computer so it won't shut down at all, just screws it all up! I don't know why. But I agree that I wish there were a better way to get someone on the line right away. Sometimes that is what the fresh quitters need to get through the urge. We are so close in our quits and it's nice that your around a lot, I appreciate that. I am a smart woman and I know that there isn't ALWAYS going to be somebody here when I need. I guess thats the point of "own your quit" huh?
I would love to echange emails with you. Maybe if nobody else was around that could help us get through the really rough times. Nothing wrong with back-up, right?!
