February 25, 20179 yr I hope she logs on here and commits to her quit. First and foremost for her own health benefit but more selfishly, because I'm getting tired of being the newest Newbie on this site. Being the baby quitter is getting old :angry:
February 26, 20179 yr Doreen and Reciprocity, Hey Day one has been going pretty well. Thanks for checking up on me! Luckily, a new desk arrived last night, and I milked the task of organizing it and purging for hours. LOL! Starting to get some stronger urges now. As I mentioned, after 5 is the witching hour. I CAN be smoke free!
February 26, 20179 yr YES :D So happy you came back to us! You be strong now. You can do this. If I can come as far as I have, anyone can. You just have to really want it. Keep checking in with us and stay committed!! The first while is the worst of it while you're brain is trying to reprogram to being a non smoker. It does get easier though. Hard to notice day to day but it does happen slowly.

March 8, 20179 yr You're doing great Cherylco :D Almost 2 weeks down now, which is the worst of it so if you can get through that, you can certainly make this quit stick for good. Just stay focused and remember the one basic rule that applies to us all - Not One Puff Ever You're already beginning to enjoy some of the benefits and that just makes it that much sweeter :)
