Twinks, your body is getting rid of the crap you have been putting in it. Those little fellas down there must be hopeful you are not going to poison them anymore and are getting ready. You hang in there. You go, Slothkitten!!! You are doing super!

Way to go, Slothkitten! Its got to be really hard when you are out and among smokers. I told hubby I never thought I'd be grateful for bad weather but if it were great weather I bet I would have walked down to the store by now. At least I didn't wake up and cry today. That's a first. Instead I popped about 4 pieces of gum in my mouth and I'm chewing like crazy. Yesterday I slept alot which made the day go easier. But I'm still craving a smoke. That hasn't gone away.

Twinkie, I just read back through this whole thread and it helps all over again to read about every one's withdrawls and the coping of it, and the eventual lessening, etc. I'm telling every one at work that I've quit ( this is unusual for me, I don't offer info about myself at work, I hold em close to the vest ) Anyway, last night one of the staff , who is a nonsmoker, pranced up with a cig and practically waved it under my nose . . . . She came very close to drawing back a bloody stump. I told her ( she IS a youngun ) . . Think of me as a starving pit bull, and you are teasing me with a porkchop, it's not nice to tease. LOL . . . My emotions are on edge. It's getting a little easier to push the constant cravings away and maybe they are farther apart. Hang in Twinkie, I think you are doing great, you are enduring.

Hang in there Twinkie and Sloth. Both of you are doing great! Emotions on edge is normal as is everything else you are going through, but as Nick just said, it will get better. This is a website I joined when I quit. It helped to read what to expect and what others were going through. QuitNet

Oh yeah, the nerves are raw. I'm trying not to bark OR bite. Slothk, all day I've wanted to call people to tell them I quit but I haven't. I'm sure if I was face to face with people I'd be blurting it out. LOL Shame on that hussy for trying to tempt you. So glad you stood up to her. Keep hanging in there.

Slothkitten, what a stupid, stupid, stupid thing your staff member did. It would have served her right if you had hauled off and slugged her. I feel like slugging her myself.

No kidding. I would have ripped that cigarette from her hand and shoved it up her nose.

You guys are all doing so great! Congratulations and keep up the good work! It may be best not to let a lot of people know until you're well into it. I found a lot of folks were not at all supportive when I quit. I didn't even tell my husband. I had not smoked for 3 weeks before he knew or noticed (cough*dumb ass*cough). Go! Go! Go!

Slothkitten, I think you need to start bringing lots of sugary, fattening snacks and wave them around in front of your butthole coworker. Maybe if she eats enough of them she will reach a point where she is a little more sensitive about trying to improve healthy habits. On a more positive note, Good job you guys!!! Just think of the money you are saving, not only from not buying cigarettes, but from the medical bills and copays you would have if you continued to smoke for too much longer. If you need something to munch on, I saw Peeps at the store today. (Although, I am not sure they are a whole lot better for you than smoking... That flourescent color is a little unnatural...)

LOL I'm sticking with my M&Ms. Between them and mints and gum I'm getting through this. One hour at a time.

I think Cashews would be good and satisfying, or the nut of your choice

Great Picture!!! Of course, Peeps are best when the cellophane wrapper is opened just a little and they are left out for a few days until they are nice and stale.

Wow. Its hard for me to believe, too! I'm sure the M&M people are happy I quit smoking. LOL I have to say, though, that when I first wake up I'm still disappointed that there's no wake up smoke. Right now that's the worst time for me.
