Wishing you success

Soon you will not want to smoke either!

Me too! Me too! Lol

Love your emoticons CPK! So very happy you are feeling better! xoxo

Toni being on this site is very helpful. You also have your husband's support as you help each other through a huge transition in your lives. Some people seem to have an easier time of it than others. We are ALL individuals & although many of our quit smoking experiences are very similar, some are not. However,in saying that, there is a wealth of experience on this train & wonderful support. I QUIT on Jan 28, 2015 after smoking for 40 years. Yes you have to quit for YOU. We all will help you. Many people on this site as well as my Doctor have told me it takes about 6 months to feel comfortable in our new lifestyle as non smokers. I too am still gaining weight which is caused by the decrease in our metabolic rate....we have to watch what we put in our mouths too. Celery sticks help me and I am conscious of overeating. Water really helps fill you up plus it's good to flush out the years of toxins. Stomach problems are not uncommon initially in a Quit but as Joel says....anything lasting over 2 weeks needs medical attention so see your Doc. Welcome to the board & best of luck....we will ALL be available to help you through your quit. The knowledge out there is incredible! Joel Spitzers Video Library & Blogs are helpful as well. Good luck & please stay in touch! It gets harder every time so make this Quit your last. I wil never go through this again! Nope.

Cheers!

Rhodilia is an herbal supplement that is helpful in giving you energy & uplifting mood. Has healing qualities. BUT does NOT work for sleep. Helps depression & anxiety but should be taken in the morning....CPK is knowledgeable abut this & feels wonderful after taking it! Shd would nog mind you asking asking. Best to send her a PM.

Thank you! I am so happy I have reached this point. I will NEVER go back. Now just need to get rid of insomnia , live again ☺

I can't even imagine going back to smoking. I have no urges or cravings at 12 weeks thank heavens! Just insomnia....but I am getting medical help for that. I can't imagine EVER going through this again It gets worse every time Congrats Ava & everyone else here on our train. We have done this because we have HEART! Yes we deserve treats!

Thanks! Truly could not have got this far without your encouragement & caring. ☺

You are doing a wonderful job TEW! We are all proud of you and you certainly should be very proud of yourself. You have resisted temptation & guarded your Quit. I have read on this site & others about struggling at the point you are at now. Takes special people to resist & you are special ☺ Yes! We understand the strength it takes to Quit & face the challenges to maintain it. And we are ALL herd to support you! Thanks for the warning. I wish I HAD been better prepared from the start but I figured it out eventually. Good job TEW xx

Mike & CPK....I am purchasing Rhodiola today

I can hardly believe my Quit is 12 weeks old today! It has been a challenging journey. Craving has not been a problem at all for me, just insomnia but I am working on this with my Physician. Thanks to ALL of you who have been so supportive with suggestions. I don't want to whine on this site anymore. I WILL win the fight....I'm stubborn

Congratulations CPK! I am so proud of you!

Great job! So nice to hear this Pippa!

Mike. I happen to have a friend who is a very good Naturopathic Doctor. I WILL see her Mike & I will also get some Rhodiola. Thanks for your orders....no, suggestions.

I will deffs check this out Mike! Thanks so much.

So very sorry for your bad week. What a test to be thrust on you in your early Quit :( I am so glad your hubby is ok...pretty darn scary. Good for you for maintaining your Quit....not easy...you are to be congratulated for your strength

Just a quick update. I saw my physician. She thinks my insomnia of 8 weeks now is related to my Quit. I just don't know....there is other personal stuff going on in my life that I can't control so I just have to ride it out. I was prescribed medication for sleep...it didn't work so she doubled it. It still doesn't work. Talked to a Pharmacist friend who is very knowledgeable about insomnia & meds. He suggested I increase the med I am on for Restless Leg Syndrome (another type of insomnia....I did not know that) I did as he suggested and I slept for 2 nights. It is highly addictive so I stopped the increased dosage & again did not sleep till 4 am. I'm not feeling well....too long without proper sleep my internal clock is screwed up. My joints are swelled & sore from the medication my Doc ordered for sleep....it is a side effect. I am not even able to drive when I have not slept. I'm in Lala Land..... I have an appointment in a week with my Physician. I don't want to go on the big gun meds. I am getting quite depressed with all this crap going on but I WILL NOT SMOKE. Trying new methods of sleep therapy to convince my natural Melatonin to resume normalcy in my brain. I can't tolerate Melatonin medication which just sucks.

How are you doing Ev? Hope the cravings are less. There are things we don't expect to happen but cravings are one thing we DO expect. I get mild ones occasionally but can usually find a way to get rid of them pretty fast. Getting something different on my mind, singing 99 bottlesof beer on the wall to myself, cleaning....now that one is like a gift for pushing that annoying crave away. Just different "stuff" which do not involve smoking!! Good luck!

Ev.....CONGRATULATIONS! You are doing GREAT! And I can hardly wait to catch up lol!

Nope, never, ever
