Day 1 of QUIT......

Jugo · 01-31-2005, 06:16 AM

Well today is day 1 and I have been up for 45 minutes... as soon as I got up I brushed my teeth and got moving around the house... I am still recovering from day surgery on Friday so today will consist of a lot of laying around and since we don't smoke in our house I will be less likely to go outside to smoke....

I CAN DO THIS!!! I WILL DO THIS!!

Jugo · 01-31-2005, 11:57 AM

manalu · 01-31-2005, 04:48 PM

Hang tough!!!! You can do it!! You don't want to have to do those 9 1/2 hours over again do you? It won't be easier the 2nd time.
You are not only doing this for you, but for your family too.
Stay Strong!!

My Mom died of emphysema in 98....from smoking...not a pretty thing.

Jugo · 01-31-2005, 04:52 PM

Thanks Nancy!!! I am hanging tough... only a few more hours and then I can go to bed... I figure each day will get easier... Tomorrow I am going to try and go back to work so I will be busy at work most of the day... Driving will be a hard time but I can do it!!!

Thanks for your support!

Juls

Jugo · 01-31-2005, 07:06 PM

I will be headed to bed in about 45 minutes and I have succeeded so far... There were some tough times but I did it... I did it because of all of you.... No matter what each of us is trying to accomplish we are all here for one another... I just love it!!!

Thanks gang!!

Juls

Jugo · 02-01-2005, 03:45 AM

Well woke up this morning and immediately got dressed to go outside for a smoke and then I thought... "Wait a minute... you aren't smoking anymore"

So I stayed dressed, went to the bathroom, and scrubbed those teeth... They feel good and so no smoking to screw up this beautiful breath

Well I guess I better scoot! I will be back in later!

Juls

manalu · 02-01-2005, 04:01 PM

Juls~Woooohoooooo!!!!! You made it through the toughest day of all!!!

Awesome!!!! I am so proud of you!!!! Wooooohooooo!!!
Day two and counting!!!

Jugo · 02-01-2005, 04:04 PM

Today was tough and many a gas station I could have pulled into... But I didn't.... I should be fine the rest of the nite.... Boy it is amazing how versitile a straw can be

Thanks Nancy for your continued support!!

How is Day 3 going ??

Jugo · 02-02-2005, 05:41 PM

Brenda to be perfectly honest... Day 3 is sucking.... This is so hard... giving up sugar and flour was nothing compared to this.... Oh well... if I gave up now I would have to do these days all over again.... So I am going to try and hang tough.... Not sure if I can do it though

Juls

manalu · 02-02-2005, 05:54 PM

You can do it Juls!!! Be tough!!! Just say No!!!
It will get easier, I promise you!!

Go Juls, Go Juls, Go Juls!!! You are strong, you are invincible, you are woman!! (Sorry Helen Reddy popped into my head while I was typing

) Well you are strong and you are woman....but you are not invincible. If you smoke you will see just how un-invincible you are!

So don't do it!!! Breath in the nice crisp air, how good does that feel? No coughing, no sputtering, just breathing!! Your lungs are already on day 3 of repair!!

Stay clean my friend!!! You have come so far already!!

Brenda · 02-03-2005, 06:50 AM

It's definetely not easy - in fact it's REALLY hard. I know because I failed at trying to quit. So I'm really pulling for you! Good luck - be strong. One minute, one hour, one day at a time.

manalu · 02-03-2005, 04:09 PM

Juls.....how is day 4 going? Are you hanging on?

You can do it!!!!

Jugo · 02-03-2005, 04:16 PM

Day 4 is going well... I mean it has't been the best day of my life but sure was no Day 3.... Thanks for checking on me.... I really believe I can do this!

USMCmom · 02-05-2005, 05:41 PM

Congratulations! It gets easier all the time. I told DH last night that I can't believe it's been 3 months since I quit smoking. It just doesn't seem like it. I rarely crave anymore and when I do, it's mild and leaves quickly. DH still smokes and now the smell of it makes me want to leave room. I've noticed since I quit he's not smoking as much either. I didn't want to say anything to him about it because I'm afraid I'll jinx my hope of him quitting also.

Wendyg311 · 02-13-2005, 09:29 PM

I was wondering , How did you handle the excersizing in the beginning? Especially since you WERE (as in USED TO BE) a smoker. Now that you are no longer a smoker, how did you get through those first days of fisical exertion?
I have been cutting down and keep saying to myself, "after this pack is gone, no more". Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Jugo · 02-14-2005, 04:09 AM

Wendy when I first started exercising I just walked.... the smoking I never thought bothered me but now that I have quit walking and HIIT seems so much easier now... I never dreamed how much easier it is....

Today starts week 3 and man the cravings are still there but I refuse to give in... I can do this...

I started Wellbutrin last week just to help with the anxiety which really seems to be helping...

I have a wonderful support system here on the boards which as been wonderful....
