Still not smoking..

It's been just a tad over a week now and I'm still not smoking. Had to take our van over to the dealer today to have some work done and waited for an hour and a half. Had nothing to do, only three mags for ladies and the TV was uch. That was a little tough but I know I'm just a little stronger this evening.

One week, two days, 2 hours, 18 minutes and 20 seconds. 18 cigarettes not smoked, saving $2.96. Life saved: 1 hour, 30 minutes.

Hang in there Karrie! It's not strength so much as the choice between smoking and breathing. The hardest part of the day for me is between 3 p.m. and about 6:30 p.m. Before and after that time period I seem to do fine. One key is to keep busy. I try my best but I tire easily so it's difficult. My goal is to hopefully regain some of my stamina so I can do more for longer periods of time. Although it's only been just over a week I can now walk back and forth to the mailbox (about 200 feet total) without having to stop and catch my breath three or four times. Let me tell ya, that's nice!

Thanks Janice! I hope I can say that a few years down the road from now.
