Congrats Mamma D!!! So proud for you... I find delaying or distracting helps a lot. You will lol, but sometimes when I want to smoke, I think of something to do that I can not do and smoke at the same time. Showers, walks, jogging, staying indoors, cleaning out drawers, closets, corners, everything..

Congrats mamma D on 1 week! WTG :) Lainey took the words right out of my mouth when she said you have to consider yourself an addict. That has saved my quit. The worst is over yes, but now it is the mental game. What has helped me is looking as smoking as the worst form of addiction, as a disease almost. Now when I am at work, I look outside at the smokers out there puffing away. It looks like a bunch of crazy people, standing in the rain, puffing on white sticks. I pity them. It's amazing how my attitude and view of smoking has changed so much. So anyways, I hope this helps. Always be on guard, mamma D. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]9/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 18 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 270 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $162.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 53 [B]Seconds:[/B] 30

You are in a battle now but it will not last forever. at least not the really hard stuff. It will begin to get less and less until you will hardly notice it. Keep going. I promise it will be worth it.

You're doing great, Mamma D, keep it up. Everyone is right, self-talk, positive attitude & NOPE are gonna get you through! You're quit is still fragile so remember to pamper yourself, listen to your body & give it what it needs, not what the junkie wants.
