darn it I quit for a month woke up this morning to a demolished house by my child and went to the corner store bought a pack and said to hell with it i don't have alot of support my family does not care either way so realy hard every time i write on these post no one ever responds soooo what's the point....

[Breakinchains]

My family doesn't care either. I've still got two family members  who smoke, so what's the point? The point is to care for yourself. Life is tough, and you are angry right now, but just think about what you are doing to yourself every time you smoke a cig. YOU have to care first. Stop worrying about what everyone else thinks and take care of yourself. Best wishes to you.

thank you for caring you have no idea how much that means to me.....

After you smoke, all the problems will still be there, but you're craving for nicotine will be gone so you will feel better.  It's a lot like being addicted to hitting yourself in the head with a hammer because it feels good when it quits hurting.  Start being good to yourself - pretend that you're your own mother, what would you say to yourself now?

thank you i just put ciggs in the trash i had 3 start again i do want to quit so bad i feel better don't like the weight gain but i know that will get better also i just thought after a month the triggers would get better would not want a smoke when i got mad

i never get many responses either, and i admit that i dont post as much as I probably should, because as you said- whats the point, BUT there IS a point to not smoking. A rather huge point.. your quality of life, and the quality of life of your child. Take a deep breath and jump back on the wagon with us. I care about you and your quit. Message me if you like. Ill be more than happy to offer support when you need it.

Sit down and tell us a little about yourself. Read some of the blogs and make a plan. We'll try to help you. I thought my boys should destroy houses for a living. They didn't even need TNT.  Take Care!

When I got mad that the triggers were still there and I felt I needed more support, is when I took control.  I realized that I was the one being controlled by an addiction and I was the only one to change that.  Yep, life goes on and some days suck, but it really is easier to deal with the bad stuff if you aren't also trying to figure out how to break away for a smoke.  You may get more comments if you fill in a little of your profile and add some friends.  I prefer to respond to folks when I know a little about them like age, how long they smoked, etc.  I saw on your page only this blog.  The more blogs you write, the more responses you will get.  You rarely get personal responses when you respond within someone else's comment section.

My Family didn't understand either, all they kept saying is just quit when they have no clue what a person goes through when trying, You have got to do this for you and not anyone else.

Im Glad that you threw those nasty things away. Its a step in the right direction. Good For you!!!!

You can do this just stay strong and just keep telling yourself your better than that. Also think about all the money you will save and you won't smell like smoke.

Have a Great Weekend  and remember we are all here to help.

I don't see any past posting history?

are you sure you've posted here before?

someone will usually jump in to help.

get some friends on here and get some emails and phone numbers of a couple of people after you trust them.

when you are ready to smoke, call or email them.

we're here to help but we need to know what you need

No matter what happens in life, smoking does not make it better. Something to think about...

I have not smoked for 2M 3W 3D 4h 54m (85 days). I have not spent $667.14 just to buy  2,300 coffin nails!  And for  1W 23h 40m I have done better things, rather than inhale poison!  My Quit Date: 7/10/2010 10:00 AM  Freedom smells great!!!

Peace, Lisa

If you don't care for yourself...care for your child. Would you want your child to be without a Mom? I don't think so...so, yes, you care.  I care. We all care. Don't smoke. It's the best decision you can make.

Hi Dixie, I've never seen a blog from you either, or your response on another blog. So just jump right in and comment on the other blogs also! 🙂 And yes, that's what children do. I used to have to set an alarm to be awake BEFORE my two daughters so I was up when they woke up and were being quiet. 🙂 I was a single Mom and didn't have family support then either so I understand. But we're here!

[dixie5]

thank you everyone I know my daughter is just like any other child with tearing the house apart you all have gave me great ideas and yes I do think of my daughter because I am all she has love to you all!!!
