Ex smokers.....post your quit date. 5-2-2005.

70. One day at a time as they say.

You will feel it soon I would imagine. Were you coughing? Are you still and is it as bad and as nasty? Try a quick walk down the block. Could you do that before and/or is it better? Awwww, I am sorry you are not feeling it yet. That has to make it hard to stay quit. It will come I promise. Even if you never really feel that much better you have to know your body will be SO much better for it. If nothing else think of the money. Man, when I quit it was cheap compared to now, it must really help to quit now. Think of that, it should really add up.

BP is likely up because of the stress of quitting. I never heard about nightmares with smoking, that sounds odd to me and as for insomnia, well that just happens to some of us I think. All of those things getting worse can be caused by the stress. It REALLY stresses your mind and body to quit.

Deep breaths, water really does help. I pictured some asshole sitting in a large and beautiful office behind a large and beautiful desk rocking back in his plush leather chair with his cowboy boots (dunno why that) on the top of his desk drinking a big shot of whiskey and chuckling to his board about all the money they were making off the stupid addicts who kept smoking. That helped me when the keeping going got hard.

Much luck to you. It is so nice not to have to worry if you have enough with you or if there will be a place you can smoke (that was never a problem when I was smoking). Think ahead.
