Day Two and a Half..

that I quit smoking (cold Turkey).. I am going insane.. but I need to stop thinking about not smoking..

anyone have any good tips to get past these next couple of days!!.. I already worked out this morning. My FH would think I was insane if I headed back to the gym again..

Chew gum, and do something that keeps your hands occupied!

Good luck....YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

I know it is hard but I found cold turkey to be the best I smoked for like 10 years and quit about a year and a half ago when I got a bad cold - You can do it - It will be really hard for the first month or two - try to stay out of smoky places for a while

Re: Day Two and a Half..

Just wanted to say congrats, and keep it up!

You can do this!!

P.S., Smoking has been shown to cause wrinkles and premature aging. Vanity always does it for me!

Re: Day Two and a Half..

Thank you for the support ladies.. It is just really difficult.. esp because FH smokes all the time.

I need to make it past a week, I think if I get past a week I can force myself to get through another week.

I took yoga this morning at the gym.. the deep breathing made me cough..hahahah.. but i have to do something to get better..

Thanks again ladies..

Re: Day Two and a Half..

You can do it! One day at a time, make small goals for yourself, and keep it going!

If you really need one...... push yourself to the next TV commercial.. or one more hour.. then.. if you think about it.. whats another 20 minutes? Just keep it going and before you know it you won't even think about it anymore!!!
