You have been through the withdrawal before, so you know that it ends...then after getting over that main hump, it is mostly psychological. You CAN do it. You WILL do it! And freedom is exactly the right word. I had never seen it as freedom before until a few months after I had quit, but that is SO correct. Keep posting for support!

Thank you all for being so supportive. I think sharing is an important part of this process. By letting others know what I am trying to accomplish, I make myself responsible to someone other than myself. Which just might be enough to make me think twice when in a difficult moment - which just might be enough to keep me from caving in.
I have been "deep breathing" through cravings, as mentioned. It is a helpful tool. I think of all that smoke-free oxygen being delivered to my lungs - it almost makes me light-headed sometimes! Congratulations Julie - You are amazing and inspiring!

Day 5
Struggling not to eat everything in sight
 And just for the record:

Try not to substitute food for cigs...you'll hate yourself for it in the long run. Do something active instead of eating. I purposely didn't do the oral substitution but have still managed to put on a quarter of my original body weight.  Keep the faith both of you! |

Holiday weekends are filled with temptation and opportunity.
I admit, I succumbed. Only a little bit, and I don't consider my efforts ruined. I am right back on track this morning. I really didn't want to come here and share this but I'd rather be honest and shame-faced, then dishonestly accept kudos I don't quite deserve. SO - fresh start this morning. All is well. So far, so good. I hope everyone else fared the weekend better than I!
