Smokin’ or Lack Thereof
Faerie
So alot of you know I’m a smoker right? Well, along with working on my QuickBooks v2008 certification this weekend, I just stopped smokin’. I had one in my hand on Friday at 11 AM and had smoked a puff or two and then, well… I don’t know exactly what happened really. I just turned around, put it out and then threw away all of my cigs, lighters etc.
I’m using the patch and the Nicorette Gum – so far, no smokey.
I apologize for not updating the site every day lately, I’ve been working really hard on getting my business movin’ along. 
My Certification is important right now, and I’m 2/3 done.
Not smoking is making me sick. I know, sounds funny huh? But your body begins to clean itself up immediately after you stop smoking. So now I’m coughing, can’t smell a thing (I could for a moment there the first day or so), and I’m so tired.
I wanted to come through and say howdy!
My husband went to the training this weekend and came back quite happy.
Maybe he was happy ’cause I didn’t smell like smoke. Sure makes for kissin’ alot better. 
hee hee
Love and Light all!

Wow Mon ((HUGS)) that’s amazing! It’s really hard at first but I know you can do it…
I started smoking very young, but I was able to quit and have been clean for 6 years and 8 mos. now..
Way to go Mon!
I quit a few years ago and I love being a non smoker…kudos to you girl. It is an amazing sense of accomplishment and freedom!
Well done Monica! I’ve been playing with the thought myself for a few months already and the feeling is getting stronger. Not quite ready yet to let go, if I’m not a 100% behind this it won’t work… No patches/gum for me, they seriously overdose me [I smoke three a day
].
I’m amazed by the fact that you write about this since these days one is easily condemned by the hypocrisy of others who think they know it all better
Live and let live is my attitude so good for you! Hang in there…
Hugs!
Good for you, it is a freeing thing. I quit 17 years ago.
Good for you. I’ll be watching your progress. I’m next (I’m not quite ready
)
I wish you tons of luck with that, Monica. Please keep me posted on how it’s going, and tricks to keepin quit!!
Great job on dropping the ciggies! They say after 4 days you are over the worst of it, think of that when the urge to smoke comes along. We all understand when people like you (and me) get busy. It seems to be going around lately!! Just keep up the good work and get your certification finished. We’ll be around! Friends are like that you know.
Congratulations!
Make sure you are not Over dosing if you are using both. That could make you feel ill. I used Nicorette gum and it works! I found it easy to give up with that.
Keep it up :O)
I’m so happy to hear this Mon. Good luck! I know its not an easy thing to do!!
{{{hugs}}}
Hi Mon,
No need to apologize about not blogging. I totally understand.
I did not know that you smoked. Glad to hear that you are putting it down and I will send healing light and love your way.
I love the faerie pic.
Good for you! Keep it up you will eventually be free of you cigarette addiction.
That is awesome! I know sometimes smoking can just grab you and not let go, so the fact that you were able to just quit is a huge accomplishment. I have a friend who smokes a pack a day and it scares me greatly.
And you know you never have to apologize for putting life first
@Alex: I fell down again and am smoking again… lordy. It’s been a weird process… I’ll post about it, as soon as I get more in control of it. Congrats on your quit! I cannot WAIT until I can say that amount of time! My bod needs it!
@chelle: That is so wonderful! Even after 5 days I could tell a difference. Heck after 5 mins if you pay attention you can tell a difference.
@Tess: I really try not to write about smoking, but there are other closet smokers out there and they get to hear I’m strugglin as well ya know?
3 cigs a day! Good good! Your nicotine intake isn’t alot… do you find there are times specifically that you smoke?
@Penelope Anne: 17 Years ago!! Whoot! You are awesome. I hate it, I really really hate it. Thanks for leaving a kudos, I appreciate you!
@Ivanhoe: Okay, so here’s the deal, I stopped for 5 days – THEN talked myself INTO buying a pack… THEN the very next day, didn’t smoke all day… then today, smoked heavy from morn until 10:30 AM. Now, don’t want one at all. What the heck is up with that?! LOL I know, they say just stop… issue here is, I get to learn I’m in control. So far, I am. LOL each step is a big one, I write down how I feel when I am not smoking, then how I feel when I smoke… it’s a long list of yuck to be sure.
You can do this, we both can.
@thinkinfyou: So far I have tricks to stop smoking, the one I need to learn is the keep not smoking…. I’m great at heavin’ the cigs, but then buy another pack. I’ll keep it up though, ’cause I have clear determination on this. Not smokin now. LOL lordy
@DianeCA: hugs honey, you are the best~ 4 days huh? Makes sense… I’m back not smoking again – it’s an up and down battle!
@Babs – beetle: Hi Babs!!! I think the gum is better, it’s instant gratificaton! The patch I was usin’ is 14mg – but I smoke a pack a day… hmmmm. I’ll keep folks updated without boring too much. Thank you so much for commenting~!
@fragileheart: oh boy you aren’t KIDDIN! LOL hugs honey
@Ttitania: The Faerie pic reminded me of ya! LOL
The smokin thing is getting rough, I already smoked then stopped then smoked then stopped…. seriously, I’m losing my marbles
@Sapphire: Thank you so much~! {{{ hugs }}}
@Monique: Not quite quit yet! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllmmmmmmmmmmmmmost… it’s so nasty I hate it! {{{ thanks honey! }}}}
