Hi Lady, I couldn't agree more, yesterday was real tough for me i forgot to put my patch on and realy suffered. I was tempted to give in, but having 13 days behind me helped me to hang on. I am so glad i did today i started a new job and i am still smoke free. I started the morning with James Brown 'I feel good' and i surely did all day.

We post of the woes of quitting, the difficulties, the depression, and the struggle to break free. Is quitting hard? Yes it is. Are there days you feel you will lose your mind? For me there have been a lot of them. Are there days we think it just isn�t worth it? Yep. So what do we do? Just keep going. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and don�t ever give up on yourself. The gratification of being free of a lifetime of enslavement to that little cigarette is beyond description. Our confidence grows each time we resist the temptation to smoke. The first time we go a few hours without thinking of smoking is amazing. The first time we handle a stressful situation without smoking thoughts crossing our minds is awesome. Things happen when we quit smoking. Our perspectives change, our thought process change, our confidence grows and people around us notice these things. Slowly but surely our lives become better and we become better people because of the challenges we overcome. Then there is that one day�that one morning that we wake up, usually after a tough period in our quit and we realize that we will not smoke again. We feel good about our decision to quit and no longer resent the challenges that it has presented. We feel the freedom and we want to shout to the entire world [B]�I AM FREE�[/b]. A lot of you are struggling to stay quit. Each day is a battle but remember this is a battle for your life. The thought of smoking may be consuming every aspect of your life right now but I assure you that if you hang in there, one day you too will wake up and feel the freedom. You will feel the freedom to breathe, to think rationally, to improve your life, and to truly live. The smoke free life is like a dream come true for those of us that have smoked for as long as we can remember. Is it worth the agony? Oh yes. Will you want to go back? No way. Believe in yourself. You have the strength necessary to make this dream come true. Hang on with all your might and when you feel you can�t take it for one more minute, just take one more step, and then another, and another. You CAN do it.
