You are the voice of sanity Willis. I don't know what I was thinking.

Of course it's going to be uncomfortable. Why do I think it should be easy??? I am detoxing.

I think the first week was so easy comparatively, that I was lulled into a false sense of ease with this quit. You know what's funny though, as soon as I read your email, the uncomfortableness slipped away and I felt back on track. It's amazing how one person can say exactly the right thing and set things right. I think that's just one of the amazing things about this site.

So I'm back to a relatively calm state. I've been puttering around in my office because I've allowed it to get messy. I put some soft music on, lit a few candles, and am straightening. It helps to keep the peaceful state going when there's not a lot of chaos around.

Hi Deb, Try to think of the "uncomfortableness" as your body healing itself and returning to normal as it purges the toxins from your system. Looking at it this way you can embrace that "uncomfortableness" as the best thing you could possibly do for health.

Thanks you guys

I've had a couple of rough days but my resolve is stronger.

I need to figure out what to do with myself over this 3 day weekend. My partner is going away to go hunting with a bunch of guys. He invited me along, but that didn't appeal. I could hang back at the cabin and read, or go hiking..... in 100 degree weather.

I'm wavering. It just doesn't sound like too much fun or like it would be very comfortable. But I'm not too keen on being here by myself either.

You know, having said that, I don't think I'll be too comfortable either way if the past two days are any indicator. But maybe this uncomfortableness will pass by the weekend.

I'm blithering.

I think I'm a little crabby. Reading your posts lifted me up though. Thanks to you for writing. It really helps.

Hi Deb,

As you've probably seen from my previous posts I smoked like a chimney, forever! Everything I did revolved around smoking. This time around I realized I had to change the way I did most everything in life to avoid falling back into smoking scenarios from my past. It sounds like you are right were I was when I started out this time around . If you are willing to go to any length to get this - you will!

Stick with us!

I had my first intense craving this morning. I woke up, and immediately wanted a cigarette so bad that it was almost like a panic attack. And it really caught me off guard.

Thankfully, I had no access to cigarettes. I've taken a couple of extra precautions with this quit too that I didn't before. I'm having my honey hold my money for me so that if I get a very intense craving, there's very little I can do about it. I'm also taking lunch to work so that I don't have cash on me for that either. He's also got my checkbook, and my credit cards! I don't think this would be a strong recommendation for everyone else who are just quitting, but it's something I felt would be protective for me.

It worked this morning. That and running up and down the stairs until I could feel the craving pass. Then flossing and brushing, and jumping straight into the shower-- Lots of gum as well.

Need to get back to work, but wanted to write.

That was beautiful Pen. You have always been so thoughtful and eloquent. I love hearing from you. I also hope Moss is still around and writing.

And Aloha, you are always so positive.... I'm glad you are still posting.

I'm just doing a quick check-in. I have this dumb cold that I'm not even sure is a cold-- I'm wondering if it's withdrawals. A bad cough for sure and lots of congestion. Maybe both. I'm not going to write much tonight. Just want you all to know that I'm okay and not smoking.

I've been thinking of you all back east. We had an earthquake on Friday.... pretty routine here. I've been through lots of them. But I know our buildings are different than those back east. And I know there is the hurricane that I think has passed..... And I'm also thinking of you guys who are dealing with the dust storms to our south. I hope you all are okay.

night guys.

Deb
