Made it to day 2

Posted 04 June 2013 - 04:49 PM   I am amazed that I made it this far! Last night was rough, had a pretty hard time falling asleep without my bedtime cigarette. Then, when I did pass out, I was woken up by coughing and every time I laid back down there it was again. By the end of yesterday, I had enough of yesterday and just wanted to sleep. I must've fallen back asleep at some point, so I did sleep some. I woke up and my patch was gone, somehow it ended up in between 2 pillows.   I'm feeling

Almost smoked today...

Posted 15 July 2012 - 05:08 PM     Today I have been feeling stressed, overwhelmed. Dropped my kids at a friends house and on the way home was really, really craving a cigarette...drove by several stores and it was all I could do to keep driving until I made it home. I would say that it was the most powerful urge I have had since the first few days to blow my quit. Scared me....I will need to be on my toes for sure. I simply cannot smoke NO MATTER WHAT. Thanks for "listening".   ~Jenny

Survived camping...

Posted 06 July 2012 - 01:19 AM   Just got back from camp. I was worried I would be miserable the entire time because I used to smoke a lot at camp, but it was really not that bad. A few moments of discomfort but basically had a great time with my kids and other extended family. I am fortunate that no one smokes so I did not have that to deal with---just my own thoughts---actually my time with my kids has improved so much since I quit. It makes me sad sometimes when I think of the things I miss

1 Month!

Posted 24 June 2012 - 02:02 PM I cannot believe it has been one month already! Not to say the past few weeks were easy, but I can remember looking at the tickers of others the first few days of my quit and thinking anyone with a month or more was sooo very strong! I wanted to be just like that and now I am! I have never really tried to quit smoking before. For 28 years smoking ruled my life. I thought I would never be able to do it and now I wonder why I ever thought that? Just the addiction I

Depressed

Posted 06 June 2012 - 09:17 PM   It has been 13 days since I quit. Using Chantix. I have spent the last 3-4 days crying, sobbing really. Seems like non stop. Went to my doc today and was advised to cut back on the chantix and she put me on Prozac...Anything to stop this crying. On the plus side I had moments today when I did not think of a cigarette. Fleeting, but still...   ~Jenny

Found Cigarettes

Posted 09 November 2012 - 02:07 AM   My daughter age 9, found a pack of cigs in a drawer today. She was so upset thinking I was smoking again. Broke my heart to see the look on her face. Of course I am not smoking again and had no idea they were there. I told her to dunk them in water and throw them away. It was a good reminder of how much my smoking affected my kids and also a good reminder of why I need to stay quit.   ~Jenny

A good day!

Posted 13 July 2012 - 12:32 AM   Today was a really good day. Hardly any craves at all. The 3-4 days prior to that were like one big lonnnnnggg crave. No difference that I can see in today from the other days, but I am grateful for the relief :D . I am also grateful for this board. It helps so much to be able to come here and read your experiences. At one time I truly thought that I could never quit smoking, never even tried. I am still amazed to have found that just was not true! I have quit!

Quit Date is Tomorrow 6/3

Posted 02 June 2013 - 11:39 PM     Hello Everyone! I'm new here and I've picked my quit date to be tomorrow. I've decided to jump the bullet and quit tomorrow. I've actually a job interview tomorrow and am excited to interview not smelling like a smoker. The real kicker will be the long drive into Boston, but I've got bags and bags of Twizzlers to keep me busy. I removed my ashtray and cleaned the windows and dash. I am really nervous though. My patches are ready to go and I have been taking

11th March to 18th April

My champix is taken and my quit date set, I have literally tried all other options and this is my last one. However my partner and mother both smoke. My Mum is disabled and has copd so can't actually get outside to smoke. It's not an excuse because I will no longer let it be but I failed previously because there are always going to be cigs around the house, that's not changing for now so I must have a better plan....but if I quit, maybe they will too?? Either way I would appreciate any tips,

1 week and 2 days

Today is day 9- and I am a non smoker!   The funny thing is my brain has 2 parts the good part and the bad part. The good part says I quit smoking- I do not want to smoke again. The bad part says I want a cigarette.   Smoking was always a part of me. I never went anywhere without it. I smoked in the house which was not so good for my honey but I did it anyway because I was selfish and did not want to suffer and be without my cigarette.   So for me smoking was normal I have never been

Day 7 or Night 7

Day 7 is over and it is almost time for me to go to bed. It is only 9:20 PM since I no longer smoke I have been in bed by 10 pm every night. Normally it would be between 11 and 12 as I was quite happy watching a movie as long as I had my cigarettes to smoke. Pretty Strange. No issues for me today but I think I lot my quit buddy, It was cool to have someone to quit with on the same day and go through all of the stages of the quit at the same time. I can only hope he is doing well.   Tomorro

Just one of those days...

Have you ever had one of those days where you feel that your world is caving in? Today is one of those days for me. Overly dramatic? Probably. I tend to negate my feelings to pass them off as dumb, childish, not worth having. I internalize every. damned. thing. I guess that is why when something that is seemingly so small and unimportant happens I go off the deep end. I am so used to people disappointing me that I don't let people get too close. That limits the amount of hurt that can be inflict

Day 6

I am wondering if I still need to count the days- I have to say I am doing this well. I am wondering if I should post my SOS for myself. At this point I am thinking there will be no SOS but one day there might be..   If I were going to smoke it would have been yesterday. Planning dinner with neighbor coming over and planned on pork loin on the smoker outside. I had to go to the store for the pork loin so I pick the closest store (Stop N Shop) they have only very small pork loins. I discove

My First Cigarette

I still remember my first cigarette.   I was probably about 12 years old. Every summer I used to visit and stay with my Gran & Granddad in their beautiful cottage in the New Forrest. I used to love these weeks; we had horses, rabbits, chickens, ducks, sheep, cows, a donkey… it was so much fun for someone my age. I used to build treehouses and play out in the barns and fields, just doing what a 12 year old boy does best. It was all very innocent. Then I met up with a guy called Barry. He w

My Journey

I've used every excuse I can think of to not quit.   "It's not the right time... I am so stressed! You have no idea."   "I like smoking. Why would I give that up? I'm never going to quit!"   "When I'm stressed, I NEED a cigarette. It really does help calm my nerves."   I'm glad I smartened the heck up after only smoking for about 5 or 6 years; I am so glad I quit while I was young.   Funnily enough, I was very much against smoking growing up. Both of my parents smoked (heavily) and I
