Hiya banana ! Congrats on 6 weeks smoke free hon :) I too used hate Wednesday's the day I went smoke free and I, just as you do with Monday's, now LOVE the day because it marks another week of freedom. Good for you stepping down ! Let us know how that goes for you ok? I hope it's an easy transition for you.

I use to hate Mondays but since I quit on a Monday, I have grown to love them. Each Monday marks another week smoke free. Stepping down to 14 mg patch today & feel good. Not having any ill effects from the lesser amount of nicotine. :) I never thought I would be so excited about quitting smoking. Everything about this quit, surprises the heck out of me :)....in a good way. Have a great Monday!

Awwww.. Lou you are so sweet ! Thank you so much for your encouraging and supportive words in your last post. I'm having an ok morning right now.. some heavy duty craves come and go but I know that when I get moving with my chores and then out for my walk it will take them away. Hope everyone has a very good Monday.. see you all later !

Lou P Lou checking in! Doing great today, still tired, but off work tomorrow so I am going to sleep as long as I can. First of all I want to say Happy Mother's Day to all of our mother's. Isn't it wonderful to be a mom? My kids are getting older now and don't seem to "need" me as much, but on days like Mother's Day I realize that no matter how old they get they still need and want mom in their lives. \ Next, welcome to the April Ashkickers Carylene!!! Jean came up with the name of the group... and I have to say it is very fitting! Glad you have joined us! I knew it was going to be hard to take this journey alone and was so happy to find this site.. then within this site to find a group of people who quit the same month I did and in the same stages of quitting as me. It is a great tool for me to help me through! I am glad you have joined us, there is power in numbers. banana.. the smell of smoke is also getting to me. A friend of mine at work quit when I did. But she has gone back to smoking again. I haven't been outside with her because I thought it would make me want one. The other day we still had 10 minutes left on lunch so I went outside while she smoked. The smell was awful. I hate to think that I used to smoke those stinky things.. then afterward, my firend stank also. I am so thankful to be quit! jeanigirl.. your stats are really looking good... keep up the good work!!! Good to see you Shakes and Sparky! So glad that you all checked in... Jean... Welcome back!!!!!! I am so glad to see you! It was a wonderful suprise to sign in and see your post! I hope you are feeling better... We are here for ya girl. If ya need someone to talk too look for me in the IM thingy. I am just so glad to see you back. You are one very strong person! You are going through so much personally, then gaurding your quit also! You are doing great! As far as your quit date. I am glad you changed it back. I had read that you changed it, but wouldn't change it on my list because you worked hard for that and a couple of cigs doesn't mean you went back to smoking full time. You slipped and you learned from it... good to see your date back. We wanted to keep the April Ashkickers alive for ya. You worked hard to get it started and I w

Having a great day. Went for along walk with hubby and dinner with family. Keep the Quit :) Sparky [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/30/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 13 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 138 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $39 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 41 [B]Seconds:[/B] 5

Hey Shakes ! Thank you for your support :) I went out for another walk in the early afternoon and it's chilly but the sun is shining and that in itself lifts one's spirits. I was so encouraged to come back and I'm so glad that I did. I really need you all :) I'm heading out now to have a coffee (decaf) at my favourite little cafe. I'll just watch people and NOT let my mind wander - wandering mind leads to nasty thoughts ! Thank you Danielle.. it's going to take time, but I'm feeling a little better just being back here and focusing on today and not looking too far into the future.
