Stinky smell from my hair and clothes

 

Burning my finger because the cigarette stuck to my lip....and then the lip missing skin. Double ouch

 

Ashes in my car

 

Dirty looks from strangers who judged me as a person because I smoked

 

Living my life around that one cigarette.

 

What's your "no more?"

How does one let this happen? lol  I get everything else but this sounds like you were smoking more than one cigarette at once.

 

My no more is that guilty feeling of doing something that I know was slowly killing me.  No more guilt.

Lol. Holding the smoke in your mouth while doing something with your hands...hold it there long enough And the moisture glues the butt to your lip. That never happened to you?

In month. Then radiation. And one injection for year. But hardest part for her over.

 

Recommend all smokers spend some time with anyone in chemo. Then light up and post how you feel. If stupid isn't the first word then you need to spend more time. Quiting is so much easier than the treatments.

 

Quiting is like eating candy compared to chemo. We whine moan and bitch about dreams, urges or triggers but none of those ever took your hair, memory, appetite and energy. Made you weak for months, weight loss, diarrhea, shakey, and generally run down.

Not saying it's easy peasy. But it is a turkey sandwhich compared to the risks you take by not quiting. I couldn't imagine chemo for someone who hasn't quit and got the health strong feelings we all got after just a few months.

No more waking up and feeling like I haven't slept. 

No more counting to make sure I have enough to get me through until morning. 

No more rushing through fun activities with the kids so I can go get my fix. 

No more interrupting a conversation so I can go outside.

Glad the worst is over and thank you for sharing Mrs. Bakons story here.  If her story convinces just one person to put them down for good, perhaps then her suffering through this treatment will have a positive as well.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
