I am now going into day 10 without a cigarette. It feels like it is getting harder because I don’t feel much better. I realize using NRT will prolong things. Right now it’s hitting my digestion with a vengeance. Don’t want to eat because I either feel too full or it’s painful races to the bathroom that don’t help. I feel clumsy and the brain… (Show more)

How about keeping a journal? Write your frustration down.(and you can use as man cuss words as you want)....but always end each day with a list of three things for which you are grateful...helps to keep it all in perspective!

Vent

i just want to vent and say how much i hate quitting! I am feeling anxious and hyper. I am taking Chantix so that probably has something to do with it. I quite last Thursday night, had Friday off and the weekend as my first couple of days of quitting. It went pretty well. Today was first day back at work and that was ok. I was able to deal with… (Show more)

rallymike ...I agree with elvan ... get back on the nonsmoking wagon ASAP and post a HELP thread whenever you feel you're going to falter. You said it... "smoking sucks". My friend, so does quitting!! The only way you won't ever have to quit again is if you don't smoke again. That's a fact. And "being quit", truly being a comfortable…

Acceptance? There are a lot of things we don't want to do as adults but we act responsibly. Cigarettes/nicotine add a factor of addiction which makes smoking seem oh so bad, but oh so good. Why quit when cigarette smoking is just so enjoyable? Uh, because we really understand deep down inside that there is high risk of paying an unacceptable…

Tired of medical tests, tests,tests,...

Lord, My husband and I have been put thru the ringer with medical tests. His vertigo systems... My scopes, biopsies, xrays, now another low dose scan.. My lungs are a mess. And yes, if I could get it passed my lungs I would sneak a dreaded killing, suffocating, cancerous stick of tobacco in my mouth. I know better now, it is much to late… (Show more)

The Transition from Smoker to Non-Smoker

I found this on my computer today--something I had saved twelve years ago during a previous quit attempt. I don't know who wrote it, and I wish I had truly believed it back then. It makes so much sense to me now. It's long, but I hope it will help others on their journey to freedom. ---------------- THE TRANSITION FROM SMOKER TO NON-SMOKER…

Substitute

I read that the highest percentage of long term success is quitting cold. I'm not sure about that. What about using drugs, gum or vaping? I have smoked a long time and need some help. Thanks

The patch is best in my opinion because you don't get in the habit of getting nicotine every time you think of smoking. YOU TRUST THE PATCH. Pick the dosage closest to the number of cigarettes you were smoking just before you quit. Figure out a way to replace the dopamine. I played guitar 10 hours a day my first two weeks. Music, exercise,…

Discouraging Questions

Hi Fam, what is the most discouraging or weird question you have ever been asked on addiction? I must confess that I am always judged about my addiction. The issue has been a nuisance and at some point I was even depressed as it is not anyone fault to be an addict. Everyone has their own side of the story on how they ended up being addicts. It… (Show more)

Many people knew I smoked and knew I tried to quit over and over again...it was a real merry go round. I knew this was the last time because I was so sick when I quit...I knew that the importance of breathing had finally reached my oxygen deprived brain. It was SO embarrassing to admit I started again every time I failed...particularly to my…
