what me? obsessed?
What would I do without all of you cheering me on? Light up maybe? I would hope not, but your help is totally wonderful. THANK YOU! (That is me shouting from the blog-tops, and I still refuse to use more than one exclamation point, cause that is just overkill people. I digress. ) I know once I get a few more days under my belt, I will be much more productive at work, which I am sure they will all appreciate. I can't imagine working with my flutter-brain right now. Ah the Lutherans and their grace. Sometimes its just so, well, gracious. And I need it let me tell you.
Anyway, so far the stuff that is helping is:
- Take it 10 minutes at a time
- Remember people are cheering you on
- Drink water
- Get my (fat) ass to the gym and workout the anxiety and frustration
- go easy on yourself (that's that grace thing)
- notes and pokes and cheers
- prayer
That's right. I said prayer. Can I get an amen?
p.s. notice the little tracker thing in my left sidebar. It will remain there so we can all remember together how many glorious days its been since my last smoke.


Amen.

I'll add my amen, too. The urge to smoke goes away, whether you smoke or not. And prayer works for quitting smoking. It was the only thing that worked for me :)

I love that you like the 10 more minutes. My dad would be excited. Keep at it. Remember that the nicotine will leave your body in 3 days - then its all a mind game.
It takes 3 weeks to make a habit - so make the 3 weeks and you've fought half the battle.

I'm really glad you stopped smoking. I like you and I'd like you better healthy and alive. You go girl!
