Thanks Lady You speak wise words, it's just going to be hard to get them through my head. I'm determined not to smoke again, but it's hard, I want to stay the person I know I am. *** I like who I am and have worked hard for 51 years to become this person*** I don't want to lose her now. I don't want to change.

I'm a newbie, it's been 6 days but who's counting, truly and honestly, I feel I've become another person and I don't really like this person. I use to laugh and smile all the time and I was a very nice person. NOW, watch out I can't even stand myselft most of the time. I force myself to laugh. I cut people off in the middle of their sentence, the best place for me when I'm home is in bed so that I can give my husband some piece of mind. I had quit once before and it was the same. I really don't want to become that person again. I keep telling myself that it will pass but when is the word. At work I always use to do my own thing but now I really stay away form everyone and I can be sarcastic at times. My co-workers are aware of my quit and do cheer me on but even that is hard for me, I don't like being asked everyday,** Did you smoke** I find it very hard and it feels as if I lost my best friend, I feel down in the dumps and I'm a real (Bit....). I just don't want to talk to anyone. Any suggestions Beb Well you asked to hear from a newbie, this is pretty much how I feel :mad: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/15/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 6 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 136 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $48 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 56 [B]Seconds:[/B] 18

Golferman, Your words really hit home with me. It's the bitterness and anger that I need to control and I'm the only one who can do that. I think I'm dealing with the quit cravings pretty good. I sat at a restaurant having a coffe today and watched a young man sitting on the curb having his coffee and cigarette. I smiled thinking, *Is that what I looked like?* He looked so alone, I could actually feel my lungs burning again from looking at him smoke. That is a feeling I never want again. I think all newbies should read your quote, it is so true. I'll wait for my body to tell me that I'm alright but in the meantime I'll push it along with a much better attitude THANKS TO YOU GOLFERMAN Beb :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/15/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 7 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 154 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $56 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 31 [B]Seconds:[/B] 53

I love your posts Lady.. very wise words. Its very true too. Quitting smoking is great, it enables you to deal with things in life for the first time, to find coping mechanisms,instead of relying on cigarettes. the longer i am here the firmer i am in this belief. The other day when I was at the doctors, I had to have an examination, this time was different, because i wasnt thinking all the time i need to get out and have a smoke. I have been to the theatre and cinema and not had to miss any of it to smoke. If i am upset I deal with that upset, rather than simply smoking. I am loving this new lease of life.

Lady GREAT post I think this is the best thing I have ever done for myself and for my family, yes at times it has been a little rough, but any thing is better than giving in to being a smoker and throwing your life away... I am up for the party and thanks for the post.
