Hi Gina;   I did not mean to discourage you with my last posting.  Of course you will still get cravings every now and again but only in passing and not too often.  Congratulations on your two weeks being smoke free.  I know that after two weeks it's a whole lot better than the first day!  I also know that it was a whole lot harder on day one than it is now for you.  Just keep in mind that each day you are smoke free is 24 hours more than yesterday.  Imagine what is going on in your lungs now.  They are taking in fresh air instead of smoke.  Imagine how much better your heart is working.  Imagine how proud your loved ones are about you!  Take it one day at a time, we know it's hard but it is a possible dream.  You can do it since you've been doing it for the past 2 weeks now...tomorrow will be easier yet!  Have a great evening and keep on keeping on.  Hugs and prayers going your way.   Aggie Six months, one week, five days, 15 hours, 3 minutes and 45 seconds. 4840 cigarettes not smoked, saving $1,935.85.

 good afternoon!
i passed my eight and a half months yesterday. i still get my urges to smoke! my new job keeps me on my feet a lot so there is no time for funny stuff there. downside of it that my job creates the urge for smoking! by the way my new job is roasting coffee, and every morning we have to cup the roast from the day before! but my success is that i had to reprogram my brain! don't worry about any weight gain or bad habits you pick up in your first few months.
you'll have lots of spare moments to deal with them than. but for now your only focus should be to stay as far away from the smokes as you can.
till than.'
Keep your stick on the ice!
