Thank you for your kind words, your posting meant alot to me.
I'm so proud of you. You have 4 days already behind you, yahooooo !! You quitting, this time it's for you, the outcome will be for everyone. The one thing I took from this board was N.O.P.E. not one puff ever. When you want that one cigarette really, really bad don't give in to that one. For me and many others on the board it just open the gate for many, many others. It's like you can't stop at just one cigarette. I come to realize that this was just the nicotine taking control again. And that is one addiction that has a strong hold. I used the inhaler as a substitute, it didn't take long before I didn't need anything. You are doing so good, keep posting.

Hi Linda,
I am going on my 5th day. Still going pretty good. I am still using the patch and finding taking really deep breathes of air instead of nicotine is helping getting through the urges of wanting to smoke. My husband has not stop smoking which is makes it a little hard for me when he is home. We were in the car together yesterday and he was smoking and the smoke was blowing in my face. I had asked him to please move his cigarette in which he did. His response to me was that I was doing so good that he didn't think that it would bother me. I guess he didn't realize because I am not a lunatic like I have been in the past times with quitting smoking. Which tells me that yeah I am definitely ready and will successfully do this. Oh and he isn't smoking around me anymore. I keep myself busy by playing with my kids before and after school. During the day gets kind of tough because I am home all day. I go for frequent walks and my house is spotless. Above all I feel really good about myself.
Linda you are a god send thanks again. You replied to my posting and your words stick with me. I think of you daily. The postings do really help. I had also read through other postings and saw how you recommended the silk quit website and I downloaded it.
