About Erika

Erika
31, Female
Houston, United States
About Me:
I'm a nursing student. I study a lot and don't have much time to dedicate to coming here but I'm trying to visit more often now. I'm a pretty laid back person and I love life. I think that life is very precious and that we should live it to the fullest. I'm trying to work out more often and get into shape like I used to be. I eat an almost all raw vegan diet and that's working pretty well for me, I feel better. I like all kinds of music especially ambient music and I like calm serene surrounding. I also like making new friends and having fun. That's about it for now.

Just make sure you value the decision you made to quit. get some supportive friends and educate go to whyquit.com and remember what the cigarette companies are putting in smokes to keep us hooked. You can do this because you don't want to smoke anymore. I had the a simular experience I think about 21 days into my quit, I went to a casino the first time in fifteen years as a nonsmoker and was tempted by smokes all over the place. I did not give in, but it was a mental battle. I got on line and chatted with some friend when I got home about how hard it was to resist the urge to smoke. I even cried, because my mind told me that I only had 3 weeks behind me so what have I just have a puff. I ended up telling my mind that Im going home where it's safe beause I knew I valued my quit, I went home feeling like I had a weak victory, but I can say now that Im 3 months without a puff, that was a huge victory for me. You can do this. Im here for support if you need it. Just keep in mind you are not smoking because you don't want too. The mind usually don't argue with that statement when you tell it that.

Hi Erika, I hope you had a good 4th of July ! You are
doing great. I was kind of waiting to cough up a lot of
phlegm but it never happened. Occasionally I cough
some up but it's not chronic so I don't worry. Keep up
the good work and have a great summer.

Hi Erika, I hope you are feeling less tightness in your
chest. Last night I met some friends at the local dive
bar. It was way smokey and disgusting. I have an
adverse reaction to secondhand smoke, a kind of
heartburn sensation. Solution: I shouldn't spend any
time in smoke filled venues. It is a scary sensation,
and I don't like it one single bit. I empathize with your
tightness and am sorry I can't be of more help.
Congratulations of course for 3 weeks smoke free.
You are way cool !

Stopped Thursday June 12 at 6:00pm.
Still going strong.
However, my wife may divorce me and my kids don't like me very much right now. I am very irriatable. I am usually a very easy going person. Well, What am I supposed to do?

No matter what you have to see your goal. You are the master and the cig is the slave. you are in control your head controls your actions.
