Feather, you are doing awesome!  You're at the one week mark, which means Hell Week is history!  You're starting Heck Week.  I just read in another posting about keeping your eye on the prize.  I think Brenda said that.  I like that idea!  And by taking it one day at a time, you can see your progression on becoming a non-smoker!  And that is a wonderful prize!!!  CONGRATULATIONS on your success!

Thank you for responding - yes, my doctor knows about my panic attacks and prescribed Xanax to take, which I hate the idea of but have just for emergencies. Quitting smoking is THE most important thing to me right now and I am willing to suffer through it!!

Congratulations Featherdancer!
 
You did it! It will only get easier! How will you be rewarding yourself?
 
Have you talked to your doctor about your panic attacks?

I was so stressed out today from meeting with old friends that I haven't seen in over 20 years  - it was so depressing that they haven't changed at all (in their substance abuse) and I definitely did not fit in. Today my HELL WEEK IS OVER!!! I did make it but it is seriously the hardest thing I have ever done. I am having serious panic attacks, etc. Tonight I took a hot bath and doing some yoga and deep breathing.
