QuittingGirl

Thanks!! Yup, still walking which is harder than quitting smoking. Go figure!

Thanks Mac!! Thank you Denali!! I am quite pleased about it as well. Thank you so much!!! Ohh yeah, Next time I do my food shopping I'm gonna go out and buy some of that!!!

Thanks so much Gus!! I do need to reward myself but with what? I don't want to eat fattening foods since I'm trying to lose weight. Any ideas of what to reward myself? What did you reward yourself after a month?

Thank you Johnny!!!

Ohhhh Wow!!!!! Thank you so much Doreen!!! It has been a month already!! Time just flies! Amazing!! Looking back, this past month, it hasn't been that bad, except for the first week to 10 days. The urges are so much less now, almost gone. Even in the morning when I used to smoke like 2-4 cigarettes in an hour and a half while having my 2 cups of coffee, I don't really get the urges anymore, and the few urges that I do get just pass after like 20 or 30 seconds. So, it's definitely much better!! As I think you know, I have started a walking regime, and I told my husband last week that the walking is much harder for me than quitting smoking, as my legs and feet still hurt a lot! But, I guess, as time goes on, it will get easier (I hope), because right now the pain is giving me no gain! LOL!!! But, I will keep plugging along! Thank you Doreen and everyone else on this forum for helping me to get through this!! You all are great people and it's a privilege to be part of this group!! Thank you so much!!!

When I did the weaning and was down to 2 a day, I thought I could keep it at that but the cravings were worse than when I actually gave up the smokes. I felt like I was in constant withdrawal all day long, looking for that next cigarette. IMO, it won't help you conquer your cravings at all, you will just be in a constant withdrawal all day long like I was.

Kung Pao Chicken

NOPE!

Garlic

NOPE!!

Egg drop soup

NOPE!!

Do it, LOF, you will see that it's not as bad as you think it will be. Trust me, I have only been quit for 3 weeks so I'm a real newbie and I am surviving. If you need to go on anxiety meds, go on them! I know you can quit, you can definitely do it. We all did it and we all have survived.
