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 the urges to smoke - I did deep breaths, took a walk around the building. Talked to myself in the car, telling myself "I am a non-smoker. I dont want to die gasping for air. I dont want my daughter to tell me things like smoking means I dont want to live long enough to see her children.  But home tonight has been very rough. right now i want to get up and go buy a pack of cigarettes.

Sorry for the buzzkill! I'll be ok, I have a smoke cessation class tomorrow. Just helped to write and b**** a little!

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 ex/nonsmoker, is wonderful!!  You can get there, just don't go to that store, plunk down your money, pick up that pack, open it, take one out, stick it in your mouth or light it on fire.... see how many chances you have before you kill a quit?  Come here instead and just one step... post HELP ME and someone will be here to talk to you, some way or other.

Best wishes!!

Do what you have to do!  Dont Smoke!  Jump, go scream, buy a punching bag or such.  Kick box, the air.   You got this.  Chantix can make it much worse for me anyway 😕 .  Im doing patches.  Is it magic? Nope!  But it's  a great aide to un-teach ourselves to break and stop an addiction.  Kudos.   You are doing it!
