Hey Doreen!!

I'm doing great at the moment. I had a very tough crave last night that lasted almost an hour, but I won! :yahoo: 

Thanks for checking up. :heart:

Reward yourself as lavishly and as often as you can, Marlene.

 

The Significance of Rewards

Great job! 

 

As our lovely Saz says, make sure you are rewarding yourself with each milestone. Yes, an actual treat as you utterly deserve and will be able to afford nice things. A magazine, a scented candle, a new lipstick - something that is a reward instead of using money to smoke. It will help if you can see benefits too :) x

Awesome job, Marlene!

Keep going.  It does get easier.  

 

Even if you have to put your head down and barrel your way through it. 

 

Proud of you !!

[Marlene]

Thanks Everyone!!!

Nicotine has pretty much left your body Forever now, Marlene.

Craves will get further and further apart

while you learn to change your patterns that were all about addiction.

 

The concept of H.A.L.T. (are you Hungry, Angry, Lonesome, Tired) was really helpful to me

to understand what my body was really trying to tell me.

This thread, Riffing on Halt may be helpful to you and also this one from Babs about  H.A.L.T too.

 

I am so happy you have quit.

Fantastic!! One day at a time. Sometimes one hour or minute at a time. But it does pass.

You got this!!!

[Doreensfree]

Marlene..after today your body is nicotine free..what a great thought eh ?

No more crap ...this deserves a nice reward...go for it....

[El Bandito]
