Hi everyone. Just wanted to check in. Two days down and feeling good and confident. Yesterday stayed busy working at home and cleaning. Today went out and enjoyed the great weather, took a hike and such. Didn't really have any cravings or think about smoking, but have a good headache. Staying away from alcohol since that is a big trigger for me. Came to the site about four times yesterday and read a lot of new and old posts from the elders. Tried to be on the site a few times today on the Iphone, but it is not very easy to move around the site on a phone....need my desktop.

Going to keep telling myself I don't do that anymore, NOPE...

thanks for all your support.

Congrats on 2 days, Paul!! 

After Day 3 you should be free of nicotine completely! How awesome is that!?!? 

Keep up the good work;-)

paulh  Good job, keep going.  I am really happy for you.  Drink lots of water to help cleanse your body of nicotine.

Apologies, Joe.....there are so many folks coming and going that this old lady gets statuses confused sometimes.  PLEASE don't leave---I need SOMEBODY to keep me straight!  I remember NOW that you just finished pulmonary rehab.  Are you seeing results from that?  Maybe YOU can help keep Paul on the straight and narrow? 

Sorry, again,

Nancy
