Yay for you!!! <BR/><BR/>You should get yourself one of the free quit meters that are available online, install it on your desktop and look at your success any time you need encouragement. :)<BR/><BR/>I'm absolutely and totally thrilled for you! Once the first three days are past, it's so much easier to stay clean. <BR/><BR/>You're doing wonderful things for yourself and for your kids!

The first 3 days were really hard for me, but when they'd passed and I hadn't had a single cigarette, it was like someone flipped a switch. Suddenly the physical craving was just gone.<BR/><BR/>So congratulations for getting through it. I'm convinced if a smoker can go without a cigarette for three days, they've conquered the biggest battle. Now it's just a matter of breaking the habit itself. One of the hardest things is thinking a cigarette is the way to calm ourselves when we hit life's little road bumps.<BR/><BR/>Be encouraged - I'm almost at the one month mark and already, it's like I never smoked.<BR/><BR/>I knew you could do it. :-)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078572615133867629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5908715878475474226.post-27748079889196779142009-03-02T05:35:00.000-08:002009-03-02T05:35:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078572615133867629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5908715878475474226.post-38863298344004580942009-03-02T03:09:00.000-08:002009-03-02T03:09:00.000-08:00You are doing great Kristen!

My sister Sue stopped cold turkey and that was one of her issues. When she did go to sleep, she'd sleep a while and wake up, all night long. But it passed within a few days as I recall. <BR/><BR/>Most of the worst withdrawals are over within 3 or 4 days, so you're almost there.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work! In just a few more days you'll be a FORMER smoker. :o)<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/><BR/>DianeDiane@Diane's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919687116633720697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5908715878475474226.post-3982747987274189992009-03-01T18:32:00.000-08:002009-03-01T18:32:00.000-08:00You're doing GREAT!!

It'll all balance out soon and life will take on a whole new kind of normal. <BR/><BR/>And yes, smoking causes wrinkles! You can also give yourself a facial with a paste of lemon and sugar. It's a natural way to exfoliate and it will make your skin so soft. <BR/><BR/>Wowie, I'm impressed! You're really doing this!
