Three Weeks and I am FABULOUS!!!!!

Well I've made it past the three week mark. Unfortunately there are some times when I "miss" smoking. I find myself fantasizing about it. Luckily I have not given in. I'm getting to the point where there are some days where I don't even think about them. Other days aren't as good though. Those are the days where I really have to will myself.

The best thing though is that I'm only one more month away from getting to start trying for a baby. Yeah!!!! That will make this quit so worth it.… Continue

Well I've made it two weeks. So far I'm feeling okay, I've had some cravings here and there, but they haven't been too bad. I haven't felt this good in a long time. I've had so much more energy, and I'm sleeping better (although some strange dreams, and I'm not even using the patch). Normally on my days off and nights I work late I would get up with my son, take him to school and then come back home and go back to bed. I'm not doing that anymore. Once I'm up, I'm up. I have gotten so much more d… Continue

Today was a little rough. My son was on my absolute last nerve and the terrible thing is he wasn't doing anything that should have been bugging me as bad as it was.

In fact my husband was laughing at everything he was doing so I know it was just me being in a bad mood.

I made it… Continue

I have made it 7 days and I'm feeling pretty good about myself. I have had a few cravings but so far I'm doing okay. I'm most proud that I haven't even snuck one puff. I've even been in situations where I was drinking and others were smoking. There were a couple times I felt like asking for a drag or to just bum a smoke, but I figured what's the point of going through the initial withdraw pangs again. It's just not worth it.

My husband is saying that he will quit by the end of the month… Continue

Well I quit before my date, and I'm feeling really good about it. It's been 3 days and I'm going strong. I haven't snuck a drag or anything. I actually quit the next day after my last blog. I didn't think I needed to go buy one more pack of cigarettes just to get to my quit day. I finished reading the book by Allen Carr ("The EasyWay to Stop Smoking"). It might not be for everyone, but it really put me in the right mind set to quit. I don't know that I agree with everything he said, but I took t… Continue
