Juju, I tried milking the knee but it didn't work, I just got so frustrated watching them mess around that I had to do it myself, so now I can use " look at your poor mother with her sore knee, doing your laundry and cooking for you" God how can I call myself a mother if I can't dish out the guilt.
Where are all the quitters, I was so busy today and I didn't think about smoking hardly at all, I almost forgot to check in here. I had a great day and hope everyone else did. Thanks for your continued support cheerleaders.

I'm still here llkoolaid. Been a busy day, and I screwed up my thumb and wrist bowling. Makes typing a little bit of a pain, hehe.

Anyways, doing good this weekend. Ran out of nicorette, and don't really feel like buying anymore. At the begining of this, I was chewing it like crazy, but have gotten by with fewer peices the last week or so due to the horrible heartburn it's been giving me. Sunflower seeds though have been very helpful to me though.

So, I am doing good, cravings have been manageble, and though I have thought about smoking it's not something that will have me running to the store to buy a pack of cigarettes!

Yay, Wargod! Can you buy patches without prescriptions? Patch also keeps the cravings down. You have gone long enough now that you could use one of the mild ones, I would guess.

Good luck on the drive tomorrow Llkoolaid.

Yay Franny! Hope you got everything cleaned.

Hey, Fruitbat, you ready to get back in here?

Christina, yoohoo, we're gonna need some new people to cheer for soon.

Each time I come in here to check on you guys, it feels great to see how well you're doing.
I find myself thinking about you all even when not on line and just 'smiling' out loud at how proud you should be. Week four!!!

I tried to post on here earlier but as I was typing the tv broadcast that plane crashing in New York so I just shut the computer off. It makes this seem so trivial but it also makes you think. All those people lost their lives in a matter of minutes and couldn't do anything about it. Here I am trying to stop killing myself with cigarettes with all this support and I am finding it hard. It makes me feel ashamed of myself.
It is so depressing what is going on in the world right now, I know they say that was an accident but I don't believe it, an American Airlines plane in New York, way too much coincidence for me.

Hope everyone had a good non-smoking day, I did and I got through the drive. Thanks for all the support, you people are wonderful and I appreciate the time you take to help us each day.

llkoolaid, I left you a little present in your members folder, for a job well done.

I stayed away from the news today, fearing what I might want to do if I spent too much time watching it. While in light of the tragedy, it may seem kind of trivial to worry about quitting smoking, I can't help it. This is what I have to concentrate on right now.

It's a daily struggle that is well worth it to me.

Yep, War and LLkoolaid, don't let the bad news be a reason to trivialize what you are doing. You are doing good. No matter what else is happening, you just have to keep on keeping on.

Hi, Yesterday was real hard. I was by myself all day,it was a day off from work for me, my house is the cleanest it's ever been, I've read every book in the house and it rained all day. Just sat around watching movies so I thought more about smoking than usual. If it hadn't been raining so hard I might have gone to get a pack. I am going to the book store right after work and stock up. It scares me that I am still so addicted. I'm glad you guys had a better weekend. Fruitbat if you are still ready to stop you are still one of us.

Well, I'm down to the last 48 hours. I will quit at midnight Wednesday night. The Zyban is kicking in pretty good. I only smoked 6 cigarettes yesterday. I normally smoke a pack a day!! So I'm already encouraged. Thursday, I will be a NON-SMOKER!!!! Woooohooooo!!!

Hi everybody, had a great day, I only thought of a cigarette once or twice and it passed very easily.
Fruitbat you are still an important part of our team and we know you will be with us again, Dilli, you are a welcome new member of our team. Come on line Wednesday night after your last cigarette if you want for a great big bunch of encouragement.

I am back to feeling very positive about the fact that I am never going to smoke again and it feels good. I am not going to let what happened yesterday be an excuse to start smoking and I didn't intend to make people think that. I was just disgusted at myself for making this such a big issue in light of what was happening. Juju2bigdog and Buttercup and Wargod are right it isn't trivial, I just felt frustrated by it all.

My 3 year old daughter had a slight head bumping accident today, and I spent about three and a half hours sitting in the emergency room. She's ok, but for awhile I was very nervous and scared, and in the past few weeks have never wanted a cigarette so bad! But, because I was taking care of her, and sitting with her, I couldn't have one even if I had had a pack. So, I got through it. Luckily for me, that probably won't be an every day occurence, though with Dakota you never know! I have the feeling that if I can make it through the stressful time while my child is hurt and needing me so bad, that I can probably make it through anything.

LLkoolaid, I'm very glad you had a good day!

Fruitbat, you can do it!!

Dilli, welcome to the team!

Franny, you are doing a great job, too.

Also, thanks once again to all our wonderful cheerleaders! Couldn't do this without all the wonderful support!
