Rhonda, hang tough.....you've made it eight days, you've survived your birthday party, you've show the forum what you're made of. Take deep breaths, go for a walk. Don't give in...you don't want to go through Hell Week all over again.....you've come too far.
I'm sending positive and strong thoughts your way.

Oh boy, I'm glad you're hanging on Rhonda, i feel the same today! If I was unable to read of others going through similar stuff, I would be smoking for sure!
Hang in there. I'ld love to give you my phone number! Don't know if that is allowed!
Hang tough.

I couldn't wait for lunch so that I could check my post !!!
I made it through this "crave" so far thanks to all of you !!!
I still do not feel as strong today as I have... I think I'm just tired of the fight. (not tired enough to give in to it though)
Thanks again for helping me stay strong today! I'll check back in later...

Hey guys... HELP !! I woke up this morning with a stronger crave than I have had yet!! It will be hard for me not to stop and buy a pack of cigs this morning!! I'm shaking and searching everywhere for that one cig i missed when cleaning out my purse!! I just knew it would get easier but it is worse than ever today!

Thanks Kaiti! I hope you're right about getting stronger, because I was not strong at all yesterday!! Honestly, reading these posts is what kept me from buying cigs yesterday!!

Kaiti, Terri, and Marie... thanks for your encouragement..!!
do you guys have IM? I'm not having too much luck with it..
yesterday, I didn't have time to get online, but I did ok. I started working out at a local gym and it has made me feel much better. I have probably gained 8 + lbs in the last 10 days, but that's ok...I'm focusing on getting healthy in every way I can.
I don't know where I'd be today if I didn't have you guys!
Thanks! :)

Rhonda,
Fight it with everything you have. You knew this would come. The cravings can be intense, but the harder you fight, the stronger you become when you have won. Your going to beat this addiction fighting it one battle at a time. Distract, distract...and think about this.....what would a non-smoker do?
Keep posting and sharing..let us know how your doing this afternoon.
Kaiti
