When I first quit, I kept reading posts by people that had quit before me, some by a little and some by a lot, that would say, "It gets better." No one ever said it gets harder or it gets worse. For some people I've read that it gets way beyond better, it's great for them. Early on, I believed that it gets better. So if I felt uncomfortable or craving, I could calm myself by remembering this. If you need some help, just imagine each of us on this board, one at a time, telling you, "It gets better Marti".

Meetings. I have to sit through some long ones as part of my job; today the meeting was 2.5 hrs. long. Before I quit, these types of meetings would put me in nicotine withdrawal. My anxiety would rise during this time and my concentration would drop because all I was thinking about was a cigarette. Today I listened to 2 hrs. of data and was able suggest a series of experiments that could resolve the problem. Could I have done the same if I was Jonesing for a smoke, I'm not so sure. .

You are afraid of success. You fear change even though your rational mind knows it is the best thing that could happen to you. The nicotine addiction is in a primitive part of your brain and plays with your emotions to get nicotine; you must overrule your emotions and say "NOPE". A lot of people have quit and they are not different than you, you can do this.

Are you a good cook? What is your speciality? What do you make for everyone when you are in a hurry? Are you teaching your girls to cook?
