My first post from Donna
Hello everyone,
I have been reading posts from this group for awhile now. I have
been a lurker LOL.. I have read about Warren and all the other useful
information that is out here to help us. I have also been scared to
quit and scared not to quit. Scared it would be to hard, but more
scared of what will happen to me if I keep smoking. I am 41 years
old, have been smoking approx. 20 years now give or take a year or
two. It’s hard to believe that I am the age I am and smoking along
the way, only thinking about it every now an again. I think at some
point you realize you have to get a hold on this, at least I do as I
know that I don’t want to be a smoker anymore. Woo-hoo! Hurray for
that! I don’t know that I did everything right, I cut down a bit
smoking last week, I usually smoked about 17 cigarettes a day and as
of right now I am 1 day, 1 hour and 38 minutes quit! Does everyone
have a quitkeeper? Heard about it yesterday. My b/f just got some
nicotene gum for me as I am starting with some bad craves right now.
I am watching my breathing and stretches, just kind of want to know
when am I going to feel better? I feel good right now, but scared
that I will cave in, but I don’t want to not after a whole day!
Sounds silly but I am very proud of myself. I am going to go to the
store and get some fresh fruit, I am using a straw right now, as a
sub cigarette, just to get that drag feeling, I think that’s okay.
Sorry for the short novel, I am rambling! Thanks for letting me
vent…
