Lolo, You are doing great and getting better and better every day! Hang on tight. You are going to make it!!!

You're doing it Lolo! And you have a whole load of friends here willing you on. Let those nico thoughts drift away. They'll soon be replaced by good thoughts. Glad the deep breathing is working well. Remember 12 deep slow ones on the hour every hour, normal ones during the other times. You gotta hold it in for 2 seconds each in breath. Thats the magical part. If you don't feel more relaxed straight afterwards I will eat my own shoelaces. I got through 3 of the toughest days just using this method. So I think my shoelaces will be safe :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]7/12/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 42 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,050 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �176.40 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 41 [B]Seconds:[/B] 0

You can do it, Lolo. You know how, you already did it once. Remember lots of water, deep breaths, & shout WOOHOO!! I'm really proud of you for getting right back on!

Lolo, my friend, You are doing this in style. No whining, no excuses. Like you said, break it down to manageable chunks. Your 100 days gave you so much of the info and skills you need to do this. You know your triggers, you know your strategies...now you just need to get happy and use em. Speaking of which....get your butt over to the beach to help celebrate unhooked's arrival there! -aloha [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/22/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 152 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,080 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,033.60 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 21 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 19 [B]Seconds:[/B] 33

Lolo, you made one bad decision in more than 100 days of great decisions. And you know what I get from that? I get that you know how to make great decisions!! :) Go on. You know what you want, and I know you're going to HAVE the life you want! Anyone who can stay smoke-free for 100 days... has got what it takes!

Lolo - you might be starting your count over, but remember that you had 100+ smoke-free days and if you did it once, you can do it again. Now you have the benefit of remembering how good your body felt after breaking free of nicotine for those days. It sounds like you have your head in the right place to succeed. Don't forget to use the support this site offers. AND Congrats on 2 days! Reward yourself! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/29/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 144 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,728 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $587.52 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 13 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 58 [B]Seconds:[/B] 36
