August Quitters

I am approaching 90 days. I quit 2 years ago & lasted 6 mos., but gained so much weight I started smoking again. I am surprised this time, even approaching 90 days, there are days the urge to smoke is really bad!! I'm ok when we go to the bar, it's like I'm ready for it then, but it's at the oddest times I crave a cigarette. I'm starting to do the hand-to-mouth thing now when I crave a smoke. So far I'm still holding my own with my weight.

I "missed" my morning cigarette on the way to work today. Yesterday went fine, this morning I felt that urge. But I dealt with it knowing the craving would pass whether I smoke or not and sure enough, here I am feeling fine. On with day 2! 🙂

Haven't smoked today and thought about it once!  Today is day 7 for me, one week and doing great.  I'm using the patch to ease the withdrawl but I know it more psychologicol that is what gets you.  I have quit many, many times but after my upper respiratory infection and gasping for air since I have mild emphysema that finally scared me!!  I don't want to end up on oxygen.  So to the next pledger I offer my strength and offer my hand.  NOPE!!
