Quote From: bam2468Hi 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.

Hi Beverly,
Yahoo---5 days great job, keep taking those deep breaths when the urge hits. They truly work, I still do them ever so often when the urge hits. It's like your secret release when you are around non-smokers, and you want one so bad. After this period of time the smell of a cigarette to me is terribly, that's something that I thought I would never say. And I can tell if someone has been smoking a couple houses down when I go walking. Your sense's become so keen.
You are so kind in words, that's what makes coming on this board so worth it in helping others, as they have helped me. Thank you.
I'm also a stay at home mom of a 12 year son, also have a daughter, but she is out on her own, and doing great.
Well one breath at a time, and the urge fades.
