I made it through the first week. I hope it gets easier. This has been very rough. I was very confident to begin with, now I'm a mess. But I won't let myself slip. I just get really upset or sad.

You can do it. I know you can.

[blas]

Thank you. Everyone's kind and encouraging words are pretty much the only thing I have to go on with now.

It is great to hear that people are proud of me and that they are happy for me. I am not used to making people proud.

I am $32.03 richer right now

[Aethian]

Dude thats a tank of gas for me right there.

[Bex]

Great job! I just recently quit myself. Its amazing how things will taste and smell in a few weeks.

That's great Blas. I understand that it takes 21 days to make or break a habit...on that basis you have just 2 more weeks to go. Smoke free! You can do it!

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Blas, I know you are a tough, determined person. You're stronger than the habit.

I'm sending you all the good thoughts I have.

[zombiequeen]

Sounds like you are saving enough money to get yourself something Verrry nice!
Just think of your now happy lungs! Little happy lungs that are smiling because you aren't smoking anymore!

[blas]

My happy lungs did a mile in 8 minutes today

$36 saved and counting.....nearly 6 packs of cigarettes NOT smoked.

[MaggieTheCat]

If you want a treat, send my your address and I'll send you cookies by way of congratulations for doing so well.

[Elspeth]

YAY BLAS!!!! *breaks out pom poms* Go Blas! Go Blas!

Very proud you are sticking with this.

[blas]

I would love some cookies! mmm coookies!

I can't say it enough, thanks guys. This is the hardest thing I have ever done, and it's not fun, either.

I am up and down and up and down. I am happy when I think of saved money. I am happy when I see I can perform better at the gym. But at work or when I'm bored at home, I get angry and jealous that I can't go outside. I hate taking break alone. I am so bored of it. But I can't give up.

[AdminAssistant]

Yay Blas! And good for you for keeping up the gym habit. Is there any way you can bring some magazines or books for your work breaks? That might keep you from being bored.

[blas]

A coworker gave me a small book of word searches, sometimes if I want to sit I'll start a puzzle, otherwise she also kind of taught me Soduku (sp?) but I managed to forget to buy a little book of that at the store today.

Break time for me is always about talking to someone. I always had my little group of friends. But, problem is, all of my friends smoke. A couple of nights I've gotten lucky and I've gone on break at the same time that they've been eating so I can sit and talk with them for a bit before they go outside.
