Smoking Addiction & Recovery Support Group
The CDC claims that nicotine is a "very addictive drug" that can be "as addictive as heroin or cocaine." Nicotine is typically eliminated from the body within 2 to 3 days, however, physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms may last for much longer depending on the individual.

Hi all,
Sorry I have been hit and miss on here for the past week. As some of you know I was helping out with AA Roundup. It was a great and very busy week.
Neither, I or Enchantedangel smoked, though, sometimes it was tough. With the times of stress and then the few times of "bordom" when we weren't needed any where. When we were told to take a break was the worst (We had a time trying to figure out what to do as I couldn't go for a walk I had to stay where people could find me) or when someone would leave their smokes around. But we did it. (This is not the something)
The thing that I did was----------------- I DANCED, and danced and danced!!!!!!!!!!!! For several hours I danced! I danced the slow ones with Dennis. I tried to line dance (for about 2 seconds) with my granddaughters, I dance with guys and I danced with groups. I danced slow. moderate and FAST!!!!! I Did the twist again. Yeah, so what you may say, big deal. Well, ya know it wasa big deal because I had the breath to do it. And I haven't had for a very long time. It was cool and it was fun! And my feet still hurt and they are swollen and it hurts to walk and I would be out on the dance floor again tonight if there was one to get on. If I can do this at day 67 and 68, just think what micheif I can get into at day 140 and beyond.
I want to thank everyone who gave me the encouragement to stay smokefree. You all are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love'n hugs to you alllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
