Well I must be honest....my smober time lasted 3days, i had not smoked 120 cigs, saved $16.25, and had added 10h20min onto my life. This morn I relapsed, gave in to the craving and lit up.
I must say that the preparation that I was doing paid off be/c there were very minimal urges to smoke during those 3 days. I was actually shocked that it happened this way. I didn't even go through any moods swings, nothing like the week before I quit. I did sleep alot Fri & y'day. I think that y'day had to do with keeping 2 of my g-kids overnite for movies & pizza. It was a real good feeling to know that I was not exposing them to my smoke, even my g-son noticed.
I am not giving up, just starting over. And I'll keep starting over if I have to. Whatever it takes!!!

Yesterday was a wash. So I'm back on the beam as of this morning. I realized this morning that I jsut didn't do the things I know I have to do when a routine trigger or craving comes on.
Thanks sillybird and tessa, it's good to know that I'm not alone, but I hope it does take 6 times (:O)
