On day four and so far I've had one bad day and it was everything that I could do just not to give in and smoke but I just got here on the computer instead. Going to celebrate the fourth of July by not smoking. Plan on setting off fire works and having a friend over today and yes she smokes but I'm planning on asking her to refrain from lighting up in front of us. Thank you jv for all of your encourging words; I do appreachate them so keep doing them it helps me out.****

P.S. the stars is how many days we have if you wondered why i have that added.

Your Smoke Free Friend Kathleen

Kathleen, thats great, see you can do things ya thought ya could'nt, so don't stop there, you can do anything when you set your mind to it, ya know when n urge comes because of a little stress or whatever you must tell your mind that smoking ain't gona make it better, it just makes it worse, so keep on trucking my friend, you are on your way !!!

hapiness n joy

Well we made it through yesterday without smoking and plan on doing the same thing today. We went to town yesterday and we did'nt smoke which was a temtation but then again we did it and I'm proud of myself and Danny as well. Just going to do this thing one day at a time and then it'll make it easer. I know that we can do this as long as we keep a positive attitude about it and sometimes that is a hard one.

Love You Kathleen

Good morning to everyone, just tought that I'd check in and let everyone know that I'm back to stay this time. I'm on my first day and not going to smoke at least I can say that with confindence this morning. We're going to the gym this morning to work out and I have a video that I do every morning even though I'm not able to get through the whole thing yet but I keep trying. Maybe sometime I'll actually make it through the whole 4 mile walk or jog should I say it's a hard workout but then again I have trouble breathing so then it makes it that much harder for me.

Good Morning all and Jv you are so right, when you are really ready you explore any and all options because no two people do it exactly the same way!!!
jv Comment by jv on June 29, 2009 at 7:37am
My best wishes to all n to the one's struggling, I think Cindy's got good suggestions n good time in, if i could add to it, if you really want to quit, you had enough of smoking n want to be healthy again, you will ask everyone on every group till you find the one that works for you, you will try every site suggested to you, you will go to any lengths, any, Be-cause the alternative is the same old same old sick disgusting smelly, lung eating skin rotting nicotine addiction disease !!!

don't listen to me, listen to who ever can help you, n we need help !!!

happiness n joy
