Hi J! You are keeping yourself busy! Been there, done that! =) Only I used orange smelling cleaners =) LOL!! As for that feeling? Erm, I do not remember feeling that that when I first started. But then again, I do not remember too much about that 1st quit. I had a HUGE sinus and ear infection! BLAH! *insert wide eyes here* Congrats on your smober'ness!! =) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 9/21/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 70 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,056 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $210 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 58 [B]Seconds:[/B] 18

Hi J!! Tell him to cook his own meals. You have a date w/ bubbles, candlight, and the tub! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!! I always tell hubby not to muck w/ me. I am meaner than a snake and I am not afraid to knock him over 10 cups if the need arises. He looks at me and goes into the other direction =) You're doing beautifully!! =) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 9/21/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 70 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,058 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $210 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 7 [B]Seconds:[/B] 51

Find other things to occupy your time. During breaks, go for a walk or visit other non-smokers. Go to the mall or a movie instead of a bar with friends (can't smoke there). As your quit progresses you will grow stronger.

Jaden, my 6 month reward (early but who cares) was a spa visit for 3 days. Well, everyone there was a smoker but I was the one who was enjoying the spa and not standing out in snow or the cold. Eventually you will notice more non smokers than smokers. I felt like an outcast also but I am over that now. I now pity the ones who are controlled by bad nicodemon. Soon enough you will meet non smokers. Just keep the quit - it is so very worth it!!

Stay away from the smokers - you will stink too! Stay with your deep breathing and getting through 10 minute at a time. I also would like to state that the SMOKERS are the OUTCASTS, not us!! There are a lot more NON smokers than smokers. It just seems like there are smokers everywhere you look when you first quit. You're doing great Jaden (8 days rocks), I hope the SSC is helping you out. Stay close and read lots!

Jaden - Your quit is a like an infant... protect it with everything in you and keep it safe and out of harms way... Spend time doing what YOU need to do to keep your quit grounded and focused, Jaden ... You will find your way back to friends and being social when you're ready... Trust your intuition... trust your instincts... You're doing beautifully, just hold on tight...
