We're all soooo proud of you!!! I have tears in my eyes for you. So, so happy!!!

AWWWW Thanks Marilyn, and thanks everyone for your support... i'm just having a bad morning today...

Maybe i'll feel better after a couple cups of coffee, i don't know why i'm coughing up a lung over here.. just feel terrible today.....

Marilyn · 04-13-2009, 03:37 AM

Haley, sounds more like alergies or something than withdrawal. Or maybe your lungs are trying to help you clean them up.

Hang in there!!! You are doing great!!! Your strong, you've shown that to us several times on here. We know you can do it!!!!!!

Thanks Marilyn, i'm hanging in there, i just had a bad morning it will get better, Micah was pushing my buttons this morning, he didn't want to get ready and i was running late, i just needed a good cup of coffee and i'm chewing on some nuts. i'm starting to feel better, it's just my chest feels so tight today, i don't know what the hell is going on.. my nerves maybe???

DianaB · 04-13-2009, 07:37 AM

I'm sorry that you're not having a good morning! It almost sounds like you're coming down with something. I'm so proud of the fact that you've gone 5 days without smoking!!! That's quite an accomplishment!!! I know that it's hard but I know that you have a lot of determination and can do this!!!! You go, Girlfriend!!!!!

HALEY · 04-13-2009, 07:43 AM

im feeling better now Diana, eating my lunch a grilled chicken wrap and a side salad. i went on a diet also when i quit smoking. so i think i'm stressing myself out, but i'm eating much better than i did...

Haley, I'm really proud of you! Sounds like you're doing all the right things.

Do your best to stay away from smokers, at least for awhile! You'll be so tempted to "bum" a cigarette when you're around another smoker. You'll think "just one", but that breaks the process. I was very lucky that my DIL and one SIL quit smoking when I did. To my knowledge there are NO SMOKERS in my immediate family. A few weeks back, we had some septic tank work done. I almost flipped out when I saw that one of the guys had left butts back there.

HALEY · 04-13-2009, 10:47 AM

I wish i could stay away from smokers, but there all around me,,,, at work, my dad still smokes... that's ok, i'm going to bingo thursday they will be all around me, that will be a big test for me.. but i have my patch and my water and gum to take so i'll be ok....

HALEY · 04-14-2009, 06:53 AM

Marilyn · 04-14-2009, 12:04 PM

You are AWESOME!!!!!!! Way to go, Haley!!!!!!

We are all soooooo happy for you and your success!!!

HALEY · 04-15-2009, 03:34 AM

Thank you Marilyn, i also joined the YMCA yesterday,( with the money i saved from no buying cigs. for Mike and I..

and put micah in daycare there also, so i can workout after work, they offer so much more for Micah also, then where he is at now, the activities, and crafts, i think Micah also needs this.. so i will be working out also a couple days a week... All i see what daycare does with him all day is watch tv and i can't stand that!!! he don't even do that when im home, were outside. or doing something, i don't want my child to watch tv all day.. so i had to move him....

HALEY · 04-15-2009, 04:02 AM

ps: i got my first DOT on my smoking forum also, you get a dot for a reward for every week that you are smoke free, another reason to be proud of myself today!!

gja1000 · 04-15-2009, 04:29 AM

Haley, it is quite an accomplishment to quit smoking. It is so wonderful that you are using your savings to benefit you, Mike, and Micah - that is so great! It sounds like things are going well!

HALEY · 04-15-2009, 04:39 AM

getting better everyday Gayle, there were other issues dealing with Micah and the daycare i had him at, i had to move him fast... before i killed the woman!!! but that is a long story,, still thinking about reporting her

Talk about wanting a smoke MOnday, almost didn't make it thru that day!!!!!... But my son is safe now... and everyone at the YMCA are wonderful.. so Micah will have fun there.. lots to keep him busy.... and i will be working out.. so that will keep the extra pounds off, from eating jelly beans... are first time fees were waved and my husbands membership was free, cause of where he works, The company pays the memebership under his wellness program.. boy was i happy.. so i saved over 100.00 yesterday... so another plus for me.

Work still stinks, still down to 4 days a week... and still looking for another job, but other than that i'm just plugging along... one day at a time...

gja1000 · 04-15-2009, 05:12 AM

I think it is really important to have Micah at a day care where he is engaged in stimulating activities. I have a 2 year old granddaughter and she LOVES TV - so much so that my daughter has to limit her exposure to it - she only gets to watch about 1 hour a day - two shows.

It is so important, as you mentioned, that children are in stimulating activities where they get to play and things to DO as opposed to watching things, also that they are moving and engaging with other adults and children, rather than the TV.

You've taken so many positive steps!!!
