License to Chill - I think I will...
I got that verse from my new Jimmy Buffet CD. No, I'm not a Parrothead, but you gotta love that music.
I am starting the relax a bit, I've noticed. I look back on those first few days before and after quitting - and I was delirious. Wow, glad to to be past that.
I noticed I was holding my breath. I'm starting to let the shoulders down and breathe a little. It's like I forgot how to breathe. I think I've read that same thing from another quitter here @ Woofmang.
I'm also starting to unclinch my jaws.
So with that, I've posted my first post outside of 'Introductions' and 'Staying Quit' - where I seem to hangout most of the time. _________________

Right. Breathe in through your nose (big breath) then as you exhale through your mouth, scrunch your shoulders up. Do it 6-12 times to get the kinks out. Helps you breathe better and relax.
Reminds me of a song too - Faith Hill - Breathe

Do you also find yourself standing up a little straighter? My posture has improved greatly -- makes no sense, does it? _________________
