2 weeks smoke free

[pockets]

So, I have made it two weeks. I want to thank everyone for there encouragement and words of wisdom. I like being smoke-free. I like not smelling of stall cig. I am most thankful that my daughter doesn't have to smell them anymore. Yes, I am still mean, but not as frequent. I know I haven't got it beat yet. Please Keep me in your thoughts.

hey, pockets, good on you!!! that is GREAT news! I will pray that you are able to stick with the quit. I don't know first hand about it, but I have 6 or 7 friends who have done it, and have heard their stories.

If you're interested, somewhere on line there is a "quit smoking meter" that tells you how many cigs you haven't smoked since your quit, how much $$ you've saved (cha-CHING!) and how much your life has been extended. When I see that on my friends' e-mails, it is REALLY COOL to see it in action. One friend quit about 5 months ago and has saved over $1500!!!

I'm really happy for you, I think it's such good news when someone tackles an addiction like that. I find it really inspriing, since my addiction is to emotional eating.

Bravo!! :dancing

Hi to all you non smokers!
I too quit 1/3/05. Was chewing nicorette and eating lots since then. I'm back at Atkins after 7 years maintaining my weight. I had to give myself a break to get over the no smoking hump. Quit the nicorette (has no no ingredients in it) the same day I started Atkins and started with the patch, which frankly, makes my arm itch. Someone told me if your don't do something 1000 times, you will be free of habit! So, if you WERE a pack a day smoker in 50 days you should be over the urge to smoke...HAH! Day by day and it does get easier!

so glad you showed up silly! when the i-want-to-quit-smoking group joins forces it is an awesome thing to see. i have really been encouraged by watching dawny and shirtpocket quit. dawny even got her dad to quit! and now you come lending support and getting support.............this is a good place.

Welcome sillygirl, we are so glad you have joined us and are smoke free

Thanks to the welcoming comittee! You guys are very smart to Atkins and quit smoking at the same time. I'm not quite that smart, thus the weight gain! Now however, I can calm my urge to smoke AND eat to my heart's content. What could be better? Well, maybe a little exercise too, but I gotta go one step at a time now! Went to a Yoga class this morning....comfirms it...not ready for serious exercise yet! Thanks again for the support!
