Ah well, I have pulled through to Day 17 and my progress as I write says 2 weeks 1 day and 19 hours - that is also a 500 unsmoked cigarettes. The fears I had about shortness of breath are also reducing - I have also been on a zero alcohol regime since it began - and I have increased my physical exercises marginally - and push it longer every few days. Because it is so hot here in the Indian Summer, ( 42 degrees Celsius in the shade at 6 PM) and because I am embarassed about my weight and my belly and my lack of stamina - I have borrowed an unused elliptical trainer from a friend and use it as a stationery cycle for about 45 minutes every day and I also try and work in the kitchen for about 10 to 15 minutes - and do some basic yoga breathing and neck rotation stretches when I can... 

I write today because I am feeling vulnerable and THIS WAS THE EXACT DAY I RELAPSED LAST TIME... I am trying not to think of it - and I know the horrible craving stage is over - but I am VERY VERY AFRAID - that the false sense of confidence may break my resolve - I know only I can deal with this,  but I am writing, nevertheless, just to share and see if some one else has been through similar circs, and has a tip or two or five to share :-)
