Not smoking
Thank you for the words of encouragement, and good luck to all those who have quit!
Xplora--did you quit cold turkey? I am using the patch, and it really helps with the withdrawl symptoms. There is supposed to be a much higher success rate when you use some type of assistance (zyban, patch, etc).
Don't get me wrong..there are still moments when its rough. It may sound silly, but every time I get a strong urge, I breathe in slowly through my nose..hold it for 3 seconds..and then exhale slowly through my mouth. You wouldnt believe how good it works..give it a try.
I began going to the gym again this week. Trying to replace my bad habit w/ a good one. I am going to take up yoga as well.
Best wishes everyone!
