doodles,
You are doing a great job. Especailly for day 10. You'll have a few scares along the way....and each one you overcome makes you stronger for the next one.
Your confidence just builds and builds. The only thing that will kill that cycle....is having...just one.
Take it one day at a time...and one stress event at a time. I can't tell you how great the feeling when you remained faithful to your commitment after a hard trial.
Hang in there
Mercy

Well done and keep at it...I too struggle with this on a daily basis. The difference is that as you move forward this will become more of a decision for you and less of an obsession to be fought. Control comes gradually, with each day you will be stronger. Just keep putting up the numbers and increasing the distance between you and your smoking daze...

Doodles,
You took those five minute breaks to smoke. Why is it any different now that you've quit? Keep taking those five-ten minute breaks, especially when you're stressed and busy. Just change what you're doing in those five-ten minutes :)

hey doodles i dont have any kids but I do have a lot of stress related issues that have been happening to me latly and i'm trying as hard as I can to not give and start smoking again but its real hard and I feel your pain. Stress is a part of life and when your trying to quit smoking it makes it even worse but I will do everything in my power not to start smoking again and I hope you do the same :) Just drink lots of water, chew a lot of gum, take walks do anything active to keep your mind off smoking thats what I do and it works really well. Best of luck to you and stay smoke free
