NOPE

Well this train sure put me in a better mood.

This made me laugh. I thought I was bad with the coffee. Seems we have a walking coffee pot amoung us. That's a lot of coffee.

Thanks everyone. Yes Doreen about the sleep issue. I have read about not being able to sleep. That is why I was so surprised that I slept that long. But I do anticipate somewhere down the line not being able to sleep may occur. I did get me some Tylenol pm just in case. Can't seem to shake this horrible feeling no matter what I do. Coffee is making me nauseous so switching to green tea today. Oh this is rough. Not going to smoke but just hate this feeling. Going to go soak in the tub for awhile and then watch some videos.

Wow slept like a baby which surprised me. Went to bed at midnight and slept ten hours. Felt good Too. Chest is very tight,short of breath and started coughing...something I never had when smoking. Must mean the healing process has begun? Still having problems with that morning cigarette so noped and here I am posting to get my mind off of smoking. I am going to get busy and clean the house like a crazy woman. Still low energy even after that long sleep I had. Sorry Just rambling but just got my mind off that wake up and have a cigarette moment. Posting helps. So off to get something accomplished and to read some more here. Still learning my way around.

NOPE for today

Congrats on making it to two weeks. You must be so proud.

Great Holly on staying quit. Lets just keep pushing through and we can soon be over those 72 hours. We can do this

Well 24 hours done and heading into day two. It has been intense but am handling it. Counting the hours. No energy at all. Time does go by quicker when watching the videos. Just letting you all know I made it through one day. If I can do one I surely can do two. Thanks all for all the input. It helps so much.

Congratulations kenzie.

Holly we have the same quit date. I am having the same thoughts as you as the morning without that cigarette is killing me. But I came here posted and got up and turned on some music and started moving. It helped. Lets do this together. Drinking ice water seems to help me also. Don't throw away the time you have already invested. Make a reward list and read it. It keeps me focused on getting through another hour. When I got three days I am going to go out and have a nice meal at a restaurant. Pull out tour reasons to stay quit. We can do this.

I am up preparing for my first day well morning without a smoke. Throat is sore and the longing for that morning cigarette is intense. I knew that that first one in the morning would be one of the worst to deal with but I made sure I noped as soon as I got up. My hands are so warm today and my feet are not numb. Could this be that circulation returns that quickly? I have a question for whoever may have an answer. I have a doctor appointment next month but if anyone here has taken bp meds did it Make a difference in your meds at all? Sorry seem to be rambling on. Need to go and read some more. Doreen thanks for asking how I am doing. So far this morning I am fighting that first cigarette in the morning. But I am doing this. Closing in on 24 hours soon. That and my pledge keeps me free.

NOPE

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome. So far so good. Feeling a bit antsy but I just get up and walk it off or find something to get my mind on anything but a cigarette. Munching on some fruit loops of all things. Going to put in an exercise tape and move around a bit. Will also be reading a bunch here. Four hours in and taking it moment by moment. Must remember to just let it happen. Water seems to help for some reason. Hanging in there though. By gosh I am doing this. Setting my timer to go off every hour I am free. What a weird feeling this withdrawal is. Okay one minute and so jumpy the next. I am strong...I can beat this.

NOPE just for today

Well today is the day. Been lurking here and reading and educating myself. Keep putting off the quit but woke up today and said this is it..quit day. Tired of the excuses I make like weight gain etc. Well I am overweight but cigarettes are not making me skinny lol. Been a smoker for over 50 years. Time to stop trying and just do it. So I got four different exercise tapes, water, green tea and lots of gumption. I am ready. No more excuses. Feel really good and ready to start this new life. So ready to face the upcoming battles that lay ahead of me. Looked in the mirror and did not like what I saw. Let myself go all because of needing money for those gosh awful poison sticks. So at my one week mark I am going to treat myself to a new hairdo. Have my list of all the rewards I am going to give myself along this journey. So at 11 o'clock I parted ways with my old life and said hello freedom. Thank you Recip for the kind message..I was preparing for the day I would put to sleep this addiction...So here I go..ducks all in a row...and gonna go make that first nope. Thanks for listening
