OK, so I am moving this week. On Friday 8/1 and Saturday 8/2 to be more specific. I still have packing to do and my little one is acting out. He isn't taking this move as well as the last. I'm sure because he is older, etc. etc. etc. Trying to keep my cool. I want to be able to look back at this and laugh, just like I do at previous adventures. However, I am pretty stressed. Deep breaths alot and more than the usual amount of cupcakes. It will be nice to be settled again so putting 1 foot in front of the other. Also, just keep swimming comes to mind. :) Just keep swimming...just keep swimming...... Back to work now. :wacko: :)

Day y 4 is down and dusted. What I really need to think about now is patience. This is what got me into trouble in my previous quit. I can't hurry to my new normal, it will just happen when it happens. So Sandy chill out! Had a couple thoughts of smoking today, but really nothing serious. Oh, and boredom. I need to be careful of that. Smoking is what I did whenever I was bored. My plan now is to try one of my alternatives such as getting on the forum to read. This quit really does feel different this time. I never want to smoke again. It offers absolutely nothing. What a waste of my health, time, money and every other aspect of my life it affected. Well, enough rambling. I can go to bed tonight and be thankful that I am a non smoker :D

Be kind to yourself Enjoy being alone or with others listening Make a list Help others trying to quit Surprise someone

Brush your teeth Take a shower Read the board Post on the board Read Allen Carr Listen to audio book Pet the dog Walk a dog Brush a dog Watch a Joel video Watch a documentary Weed the garden Clean something Laundry Organize something Make stepping stone Make bird feeder Pinterest Call someone

See if you can stand on your head or do a somersault.... Or stand on one leg and sing your favorite song...

IS there any kind of hobby you could start when you're bored? Yes patience. Things drop into place in their own time but it can be tough to wait and do the one day at a time but it just does happen:) I changed my thinking to well I smoked for 25 years so it's gonna take some re-adjustment to be a non smoker, if that helps. xx

July 24, 2014 I put down that last nasty, awful cig and said to myself "No more!". I have been taking Chantix, and it is working. I had not planned to quit that day, but could not stand smoking for another day! Now here it is July 25th, and I'm smoke-free!I cannot possibly do this again so I just know this is going to be my final quit. I'm glad to have found this Quit Train forum :) Oh, and my coffee really tastes like coffee today :)
