Dahli | Monday, March 31, 2003 - 02:38 pm     This is a great milestone for you guys - spring is such a wonderful time to be smoke free!! (but then so is summer... fall etc etc) LOL |
Denecee | Monday, March 31, 2003 - 02:43 pm     Thanks all! I feel good! |
Llkoolaid | Friday, April 04, 2003 - 12:29 pm     Hope everyone is still hanging in there. Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. |
Denecee | Friday, April 04, 2003 - 01:05 pm     Still hanging |
Tashakinz | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 12:38 pm     I've had better days...I guess this is my reminder that nothing worth having is ever easy... almost 3 full months though |
Moondance | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 12:54 pm     Hang in there Tash, Denecee & Grace! You are doing great! |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 02:28 pm     Tasha, glad to see you are still hanging in there. I promise it will be over one of these days.
 |
Llkoolaid | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 09:14 pm     Tasha, hang in there. It is weird how you will just be doing great and then have a few bad days. They will pass, I promise. You are doing so well, you must really notice the differance now in how you feel. Hang in there. |
Tashakinz | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 12:34 pm     Thanks guys. I probably would be doing better if I weren't so obsessed with not gaining more weight. I spent almost a year taking off the weight I gained from the last time I tried to quit and am BFD to never look like that again. I know my metabolism will eventually regulate itself, but it's frustrating after a few weeks of not gaining to see a nasty jump on the scale. I almost put a hole in the bathroom wall on Saturday morning I was so ticked...temper tantrums may not be attractive, but they have definitely been one of my side-effects. lol Fortunately, my darling hubby had to work that morning and was spared having to listen to me. Thanks for the encouragement!! It really does help to know there's someplace I can come to vent with people who understand. Tash |
Urgrace | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 06:26 pm     Three weeks and two days smoke free. I have been eating more, but also more often and someone asked me if I was losing weight! <shrug> If I am it's from the late night pacing... Saturday I got called to come work Sunday evening (I quit smoking the same day as I quit work). They kept me on for fill in emergencies! The assistant manager welcomes me back and the first thing she says is, "let's go have a cigarette!" I turned her down  |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 06:57 pm     Yay, Gracie!!! |
Babyruth | Monday, April 07, 2003 - 07:13 pm     Way to go, Gracie!!!! |
Dahli | Tuesday, April 08, 2003 - 10:12 am     Tash - stay strong - you're doing awesome! Gracie...what can I say? besides YIPPEEEEEEE!!!! |
Llkoolaid | Monday, April 14, 2003 - 09:01 am     Gracie, Denecee, and Tasha , How are you guys all doing. Spring is here and the air is so much fresher and cleaner. Just wait for the flowers to come, you will actually be able to smell them this year. Now if you get that urge that we all still get, you can just go out in the fresh air and realize how much nicer it is not smoking. Dahli, my mother said she was going to set a date to try and stop again, Keep your fingers crossed for her. She said she is going to make herself read "the book" and she also said the reason she stopped reading it was that she knew she would stop smoking and she was afraid. I thought wow, that is a big step for her. Anyway I am doing my best to encourage and not nag her. |
Dahli | Monday, April 14, 2003 - 09:26 am     Good Luck Kool, my mom is also working her way towards it and knows it will mean she is going to stop, her health is improving in other areas... I've got her moving away from processed empty foods and taking more supplements and EFA's - she knows the more she cares for herself the less she'll want to poisen herself - so my fingers are most definitely crossed for both our 'moms'! Keep us updated! |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, April 14, 2003 - 10:05 am     Yay Moms!!! |
Tashakinz | Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 12:13 pm     I'm still hanging in there. I wish I had a better hold on my temper these days, it was going okay and seems to be getting worse lately, but I've been under extra stress...who hasn't... On the other hand - today is day 96, something to be said for that. = ) Thanks for the encouragement all!!! Tash |
Dahli | Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 09:40 pm     Day 96 Tasha - now that's a NUMBAH!! By Easter Monday it will be 100! Holy Hambone!!!!! |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, April 18, 2003 - 11:14 am     Congrats, Tasha!!! Uhhhhh, seems like by now you should be well over the nicotine withdrawal, although I do seem to recall just being mad in general for quite a while that other people got to still smoke and I didn't. LOL. How ridiculous that seems now. They are not "getting to smoke." They HAVE to smoke. You are free! You no longer HAVE to smoke. Yay!!! |
Tashakinz | Friday, April 18, 2003 - 11:37 am     lol Juju - I'm still patching and will be for about 5 more weeks. = ) Smokers don't seem to be bothering me much, it's just life in general that's sucking (self-moderated)... |
Urgrace | Friday, April 18, 2003 - 02:10 pm     Thirty four days, no patch, no book, no gum, no problem! YAY! It's still the late night crave, but I've been trying to replace it with a nice, tall glass of water. So far it's working. Next month will be my biggest test, when we go on a mini vacation. If my dh keeps on the same path we will both be smoke free! We haven't done the long car ride smokeless yet..... Congrats to all the others here who've beat the urge and to you who are working it out! |
