I need support!

Happy early birthday to Lillie and keep up the good work to you!

:D Jodie, You are doing great! You can do it girl, I did it. Believe me I loved smoking, then my 6yr. old only child came to me and asked me the dreaded question! He said, "Mommy,are you going to die"? My teacher told me that smoking can kill you, will you please stop smoking! Well, that was 18yrs. ago, and guess what he does not smoke either. I have never regretted quitting smoking, it is a nasty, expensive habit. I can't stand to be around smokers now, the smell is awful and the smoke bothers my breathing. I was diagnosed with asthma this year, I would be in a mess now if I smoked. So Hang In There, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!! STAY THE COURSE!!!!!!!! We here are so PROUD of YOU!!!!!!!:D :D :D

I got Lillie a pink party hat that states "Happy Birthday". It is put on like a headband. I will take pics on her birthday which is on 1/18.
Meanwhile, I made it to 8 days smoke free! Yay for me! Thank you for all your support! It has meant so much to me.

Congrats on the 8 days!!

Jodie,
Keep it up, think of all of the money that you are saving not buying cigs! Hmmmm … more money for dog toys! LOL!
Seriously, you can do this it sounds like you have your mind set to quitting.
Over time you start to feel healthier too.
Good luck!

Jodie, I am so very proud of you. I know how hard it is to quit, especially if you really liked it. You are well on your way now, don't give up! STAY THE COURSE!!!!!!!!!:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

good luck - i quit a few years ago, without intending to! i was just wearing the patch to stop my kids from nagging me all the time, and it worked! i almost back slid about 6 weeks into it, and took a puff. boy, what a mistake, i was coughing and choking badly, and it took me 15 minutes to stop. it certainly was the opposite of the "ahhh" feeling that a smoker gets when smoking. i'm sure you can do it, many people have. also, for the first couple of weeks, each time i didn't buy a carton of cigarettes, i bought myself a new CD. it was cheaper, and a nice reward.

You guys…you are just the greatest! Your support means so much to me! I had a rough morning (don't worry..I didn't smoke). Then, I went to see my mom in the rehab center. My stepsister was already there. Boy, did she stink!;) She must have just had a cigarette. Did I smell like that? No one ever told me I did (maybe they were just being polite?):rolleyes: Who knows...Anyway, I am finding it the hardest when I am driving in my car. Sounds funny considering that cars don't even come with cigarette lighters and ashtrays. I bought myself a new CD (Dreamgirls..the movie) and blast the music to drown out my desire for the bad stuff (or as my friend lovingly calls them, cancer sticks). So generally I don't think about it that much, but, when I do, I remind myself that I quit and I am not going back!
I think I saved about $ 40.00 so far. :cool:
Thanks again...

I know how you feel, I was so shocked to smell cig. odor on other people. I was like, OH MY Gosh, I did smell. Just keep reminding yourself of the smell, and the money you are saving. STAY THE COURSE!!!!!!

You are doing a wonderful job! How about keeping some gum in the car, just for when driving. Chew, sing along, whatever it takes. $40 is a huge amount to save, treat yourself to a massage or facial with that money,girl!
