tonight is a stuggle

Hi Cinda, good for you not giving in! I seem to have a lot more arguments with my b.f when i quit smoking i often wonder if I do it deliberately as an excuse to smoke. I am on day 8 now and it is definately getting better. I did wake up this morning first thing, and forgot i was a non smoker... for a few minutes... but i didnt smoke, I didnt have any not to smoke. Well done, we are with you all the way!

Cinda You are doing brilliantly. It is very hard to maintain the quit after words with a partner....as i know, but the fact that you did not smoke shows great determination and willpower. Well done, keep it up kolativey [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 7 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 87 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �35 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 44 [B]Seconds:[/B] 4

Tonight is a struggling. I made up my mind, no smokeing, but I should would like to (well, not really). I had "words" with my boyfriend and it really pushed me close to picking up a cigarette. So now I am eatting a greens salad, drinking diet coke, and playing a game to distract my thinking.

Playing a video game is a good distraction and a reward as well. Good for you Cinda. Keep on keeping your quit.

cinda, the first Friday is always hard. It will get easier. You'll become use to doing weekend things without smoking. Remember Lance's (the bike guy) "Live Strong" motto. It carries him and it will carry you. had a few heavy cravings today, myself- not to hard to beat down- after finding 15 fresh cigs last night-destroying them, instead of smoking them You Can LIKE So Do This "Live Strong!" :8|: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/12/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 5 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 197 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $32.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 40 [B]Seconds:[/B] 16

Good job for not caving. It would do nothing but make you feel miserable anyway so its just not worth it. You are strong, keep your mind busy and keep your quit!

You simply cannot smoke tonight Cinda. Because tomorrow you celebrate one week. At one week you get a fabulous reward of your choice! BUT...you can only have it if you are still quit. So....what's your reward? Seven days is awesome and deserves a good one! Keep it going....
