yes Nancy, I just introduced myself there! Thank you :yes:

I've finally been able to log in here after a couple days of trying. THANKS admins! I quit smoking feb 6th. I've quit many times before so this is not new to me, but each time I relapsed. Once after 6 years:( However I was addicted to the nicotine gum those 6 yrs also) This time I quit on a date I hold near and dear to my heart. It would have been my dads birthday. He died 19 yrs ago from lung cancer and I promised him on his deathbed I was going to quit, so I've been quitting and smoking ever since. Which is ridiculous. And I'm sick of it. I want my freedom back for good. I no longer want (or choose) to have a little white cancer stick turn my lungs black. I realize the damage may already be done as I am no spring chicken ( but I'm not THAT old either!) However it is time to STOP the madness that is nicotine addiction for once and for all. Period. So this time I'm doing things different. I'm using the patch and will follow those instructions, I'm drinking LOTS of water, I'm trying so hard not to give in to my craving for candy (what's up with that anyway?) I'm snapping a thick rubber band on my wrist when I feel a craving coming on. I'm typing my heart out right now because it's keeping my hands busy and my mind off this current bump in the road. I figure a craving is like a bump in the road. You just drive right over it and then you're quickly on the other side! I feel like doing laps in this house but I can't really run as I had a knee replacement last march, maybe I could jog in place! I have also cut my coffee consumption in half, because I think it makes me nervous. Wow, I'm really not usually so long winded, sorry! Hopefully I can give as well as receive support here. You guys came highly reccommended by an old quit bud from way back of mine, Rainforest! Thanks so much for being here.

not one puff for me today! I need a ticker:) New here!!!!
