Smokey, You seem to be very positive in wanting to quit - and you can do it! Stress is a part of life, and smoking does not help any, but just adds to the tension. You are adding just one more thing - the desire to quit with your added burdens. Rest, and realize the ride is bumpy, but not undoable - and yes, it is a little scary, but so are many other things which we feel much better after we have completed them. Don't look at the pain - feel the joy! Don't focus on the intensity of the crave - feel your body healing! You can do this!!!!

I don't know what advice to give you Smokey. You seem to be torturing yourself by bumming cigs. I only know that it won't get any better if you keep smoking, and yes you are going to have to go thru a bit when you quit. But you are going to have make this decision for yourself. Choose the best. Good Luck :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 38 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 961 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $400.9 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 26 [B]Seconds:[/B] 51
