Thanks Marma & Juju. I think when I get excited or stressed I tend to want to drink pepsi & if I don't have caffeine free, I can't sleep & that is #1 trigger to smoke. The more I drink the more I want. Anyway, I'm getting good ideas here & will read as much as I can in the archives & start practicing what Marna just posted. I'm quitting tomorrow tho, not today. I will also call Smoker's Hotline.

So thankful for you all being here.

Good luck, DaisyMae! Different things work for different people. I tried the gum, but couldn't handle the heartburn(think I chewed it wrong!) Then moved on to sunflower seeds which worked wonders for me. I kept my hands busy, would come home for lunch from work to post here since lunch time at work was socialize/smoke time. I avoided hanging out with friends til I could handle them smoking, scrubbed walls, paced the house, showered and brushed my teeth ALOT, lol.

Just take it one day at a time, and remember that anytime you need to vent or get occupied you can come here and post and someone will be around to talk to you and root for you.

Thanks War, I'm printing out everyone's suggestions. Now I have to get some work done. Have 5 cigs left. Don't know if I could stop then or if I should buy somemore. Really shouldn't smoke 2 or 3 packs today cause I really have to exercise tomorrow & I already have to wear oxygen to exercise for now.

Any suggestions, will be back later. See if I can do what you suggest, smoke for the day or stop after this pack.

Daisymae: I have extracted the archives of this thread only and assembled them into a single zip file for you. If you are interested, click on the attachment and save it to your computer's hard drive. Then extract the files using WinZip into a folder such as C:\Archives. Finally, open the file index.html in your browser and you should be able to see most of the history of this thread.

Let me know if you have any problems with this file. Hope this helps.

On my last cig & this is sure driving me to smoke. lol. I want this to be my last cig. Am going to my apt. social at 2:30 Phx time & plan to quit BUT if I can't get this situation fixed I may have to smoke thru it. Okay War. When will you be available? I'm going to watch the music mania on t.v. at 7 Phx time, same as Ca. time. Social might be over by 3:30. My e-mail is Penny205@cs.com. Thanks

Daisymae: If you downloaded, Winzip, did you then install it (double-click on Winzip81.exe and follow the prompts) before trying to access this file? After you've installed winzip, you should be able to just double-click on the stopsmoking.zip file and Winzip will know to open it for you. Once it is opened, click on 'Extract' and tell it to extract to your C: drive. Once it's extracted, you should then have a folder called C:\Archive where you will find the index.html file. Double-click on that to view the pages.

If none of this works, let me know and I'll see if I can e-mail you a copy of this in self-extracting form so you won't need to mess with Winzip at all.

Ora, I think when I downloaded it, it automatically said it would install Winzip BUT I did a find & run for Winzip81.exe & no path. Maybe I should download something again but what. Send me self-extracting form & I'll do all this stress stuff tonight, I have some other stress things to get done too & have that overwith & get another pack of cigs. I haven't smoked since 2:20 but sucking on suckers. Will quit tomorrow for sure. Got vegetables & fruit, goodies from the store so at least my snacks for when I watch t.v. are ready. Kinda, need to wash them. I have to watch a few hours of t.v. tonight too. See you in a few. Thanks for the help Dra.

Dra, I'm screwing everything up, I downloaded your file but then it says "would you like to locate the file now? Yes or No, this time I said No, should I have said Yes? Also when you're suppose to run I don't know what to put in to "Open" (program, folder, document. Help.

When I look for Winzip I think I just find Winzip81 application. Can't swear to it.

Daisymae: When you save the file from the e-mail, and it asks if you want to 'locate now' tell it yes. That should open a window with the file you saved highlighted. Just double-click on the file and you'll see the prompts I described in the e-mail.

Daisymae

ok, I installed WinZip at least 2 times, Forget that, now tell me. Refer to message at 4:a01 pm & lets go from there.

Daisymae: Open the e-mail I sent you. Go to the attachment and save it to your hard drive. When prompted, tell it yes to 'Locate the file now?'. When the window opens showing the file, double-click on the file and follow the prompts in the e-mail. Once you're finished following the prompts, you can close the Self-Extracting window and go into your browser and open the file c:\archive\index.html

That's basically all you should need to do. Let me know if that works.

Dont' know if I can explain all this. I did the run, then unzip It just same c:, I can find Archive folder but there's nothing in it. Confused about the file index.html. If you're getting too frustrated with this I can just use what I have on these threads. I pretty confused & would never get this again. I have unzipped a couple or 3 times, installed over & over & I'm kinda crazy, glad I have my crutch, cigs, keeps me calm even tho they say they don't.

Oh, you shouldn't click on 'Run Winzip'! Click the 'Unzip' button instead. That should extract the files into the archive directory for you. When it's finished, it will say "29 file(s) unzipped successfully". Then click ok, then close. Then you'll find the files in the C:\Archive folder.

I just froze up my puter messing around. I forgot I had a download file open on my taskbar, I double clicked on stopsmoking, clicked unzi, then it said unzipping 1070948.html & then I think it asked for something I tried to put in C:\index.html, then I couldn't cause it was frozen. Make any sense. I have lots of programs which I don't know what they are running in the background.

I gave up on WinZip,did you read my e-mails above? Sorry I'm such a pain but I need step by step instructions & my puter isn't doing what you say & I think I've messed the whole thing up. I downloaded you file twice now. I need a big break & will need to watch t.v. tonight & eat, haven't even eaten today. I'm obsessed with American Idol, love Clay Aiken & need to watch everything I can about AI. Usually Thursday is dead t.v. night for me. Thanks for putting up with me but I'm kinda hopeless with this puter stuff. Maybe I can get my puter friend to come over but usually that's pretty difficult.

ok, this is my last post for a long time I hope. I'm printing out all the archives above, wouldn't that just have been easier? I'll probably run out of paper but have enough reading to occupy me for some time.

Daisymae: The archive I sent you contains posts from November of last year up to the oldest post in the above archives. Let me see if I can find some other way for you to get the information. It will probably be sometime tomorrow before I can but I will see what I can come up with. Hang in there, we'll get you the information one way or another. :)
