I quit smoking in December around a week before Christmas. And I can actually notice how much better I feel. Then yesterday evening I smoked one cigarette and I felt so gross. I got some news that triggered a smoking reaction. And this morning I had a sore throat too! I don't feel as good as usual after smoking only one cigarette. I can't believe that I smoked several cigarettes a day...after feeling so sick after only one. To think that I must have felt so gross for so long while smoking.............it's a wonder how I started smoking in the first place. Yuck! Those things are disgusting. :rolleyes:

I've quit twice.

Don't let yourself be fooled into thinking you can have that one or two when you're stressed. You'll fall right back into it again.

I was thinking of having a cigarette today...but so glad I don't go through with it.

I honestly am thankful that I quit. Now I have other issues to address...

Wait, I think the cookies are calling me....no I don't have a problem!

ummm, My walking shoes are not from the girl scouts and sitting on my counter top...I'm sure it's the cookies!!!:wah:

It's always funny to notice how fast a thread can to off topic.:wah:

I've done the same. Never will I have one again. Twice I'd given up, once while pregnant, started again when I had the baby. Second time I went on a quit smoking course, gave up for 9 months only to start again. It gets harder every time. This time I'm determined never to have even one again.

Well that last cigarrete I just wrote about made me sick. I had a sore throat for a day and then it turned into a full blown flu. That will teach me.

No you aren't!! Stress gets the best of us. Don't beat yourself up over it. Anyone that has been in your situation understands. I lost my job, had sister in law and 9-10 month old nephew temp. living with me and raising 3 boys on my own back in Sept. Trust me if I wasn't smoking then...I would've been!!:-5

Hoping only the best for you:-4

The nicotine dependancy NEVER goes away...Mr N. is always there trying to tempt you back. This is my 4th (ish) time and every time Mr N. nudges me I have some nicotine chewing gum (very low dosage)...it works for me.

Having a ciggy doesn't make the problem go away it just means you just have to start quitting all over again:(



I saw several young Mums pushing pushchairs smoking a ciggy today.....such a shame....I also saw about 30% of the kids walking passed my home going to school, having a cig.....don't know how they can afford it at 13 /14 yrs of age.

Oh well :rolleyes:

You should all just read Allen Carr's "EasyWay to Quit Smoking."

That's how I quit. No patches, no gum, no extra food or weight gain, and no drama. After being a pack a day smoker for 16 years, I've never looked back or felt the need for one. He also has courses all over the place, but I spent I think it was around 20$ on the book and haven't looked back.

Honestly, it's worth looking at.

Hmmm, so far I have not had a huge problem. It's just that some people I get around, and I immediately feel like smoking. Or when I get really mad at a certain man, or even heating about him. And then immediately it triggers a need to light up and suck on a cancer stick. disgusting. As if I am punishing myself.:-5
