I kinda want to address something else that is part of this process, and that is the hand to mouth issue, or in other words, gaining weight.
When I quit, I was probably 230lbs, and then I gained 10lbs. I feel like I am having to retrain every aspect of my life. The quitting part seems like it is the easiest part. Changing my eating and exercise habits is really kicking my ass. So, today, I played a dance workout game for about an hour with my son. Hopefully, I will get up and do it again tomorrow. I think I am looking for something else to do with my hands beside smoke or eat. :s
Thanks for listening.

The ten pounds is kicking my ass too however be prepared for additional weight when you start working out its muscle that's in essence where my ten pounds have come from...although my body is taking a different shape lol im still irritated with the weight gain...
don't starve yourself if you need to eat however aren't hungry eat fruit..or snack on sunflower seeds or what have you make sure you stay healthy is all.
I work out every morning....it helps a lot.
The heartburn thing ive noticed that as well i think it is because nicotine is entering your body through second hand smoke...even though you quit your still getting it. Get some rolaids...
i hope the above helps
I had a nightmare last night dreamt i smoked and that i had a pack of cigarettes in my hand, when i realized in my dream what i was doing and what i was holding i sat down plum where i was at and screamed at myself these words...
"dammit heather, now you have to start all over what were you thinking, it was hard enough to get here to 2 months" <~~~~My subconscious perhaps?
It was really weird even weirder is i didn't remember it until i was working out this morning....and then i realized im ok...i don't have to be afraid of success...i think i have been afraid of succeeding.....
So while at work today this fella i occasionally talk with i mentioned to him i quit smoking and he asked me some questions and one of my responses was its a choice that i make every day to not smoke...I think for now for me this is a choice i
have to make every day and that the dream was just a fool trick and that as long as i make this choice for me, im good...
The only thing to fear is fear itself...
diggen my 
in today and every day
