I agree with WF, DON'T jeopardize your sobriety in order to quit smoking! I kept smoking a long time because it was the last thing I felt I could do....as bad as it is, I wasn't ready to give it up. You'll know when you're ready!! Taking on TOO much at once can equal failure. One time I quit drinking, smoking, went on a diet and started exercising all at the same time...guess how long that lasted? About HALF a day! LOL When you are tired of smoking, you will quit.

Day Two

I feel kinda sick. I wished I could be here or go to that quit smoke forum today, but I can't. Feel nauseous. Feck can't sp either, can't eat, can't sleep. Part of this is my damn graves & I'm itching. Feck ~ I know wrong thread. If I puke nothing in me. :bigcry:

I need to run to Vet. Sample from gee gee needs to go. I recused a kitten & was not suppose to get her till Fri or next wk & now it's tom. I'm excited, but I feel icky! At least I bought most supplies yest. She's so sweet, social. I think my beautiful boy will luv her!. Kitty party at MWO. :h

I need to take an OTC sleeping pill tonight & haven't taken one in yrs. I will get some ginger ale.

I wanted ta post on that one thread. You guys prob said it all anyway. OK my 5 min of whining is over, better now. Just wished I didn't feel like I was going to :yukko:. If I did have a ciggie, I would likely.... yanno. Grrt motivation not to!... :H OK crackers & sprite. Oh yeah, maybe honey to. hmm

WF - On day three I had to call in sick...it's the toxins leaving your body. I was nauseated and had a horrible headache, I literally felt like I had the flu, only worse. I'm not trying to scare you. I googled it and it's completely normal to feel sick after you quit. It will go away and you'll feel better soon. Stay strong!!

What K said WF, hang in there. Maybe if you are ill it will make it easier today. :l

Yep, feeling that crappy made it easier to no smoke...I guess my body was really trying to tell me something (this coming from the person that smoked when she had pneumonia...my poor body!). I guess I'm hardheaded...but it finally sunk into me noggin'.

Funny how such a large percentage of us have concomitant nicotine dependency .

How you doing WF? Hope you are hanging in there. I am getting some CDs to see if I can change my mind first.

I know people say this but it feels like my smoking has increased A LOT since quitting .......yuk........mouth tastes like a wrestlers jockstrap! ( before you ask , I had a poor upbringing and me mam laundered wrestlers jockstraps For the extra money! :H:H)

I hung in there for 2.5 days. Aren't ya proud of me. All BS aside. I got way to fecking stressed out!. I mean to the maximus iotis!.... I was going ta bite my hubs, than me. :boohoo: :nutso: :bang: :stomper: Wildflowers gone mad.

I spoke with my youngest girl long distance & she said her bf's brother wore the patch & cut down, than stopped. I did this two days, but all the Nicotine combined with thyroid hormones it was too much stimulation. I felt like running a marathon. I'm not into running! Walking, yoga, maybe climbing a tree ta save a newly tied fly, that I've cast into a tree is about it for now. Oh & eating chocolate. LMAO

So, then I gave myself the :thumbysup: ~ ta light up. I'm sure not going to drink. I also need to get my hyperthyrodism back under control. So, I'm smoking 1/2 pack at the moment. I gave myself a big hug for trying. I know I want to do this. I will when I'm ready! I feckin won't give up!.... I'm thinkin Spring time. I will have more sobriety ~ recovery & hopefully a few more marbles. The tennis match upstairs may have slowed down a bit to.

So, my mind wants to do this, but my body is saying no.

I'll be back again one day! :-)))))

I am looking at a couple of hypno CDs and books. Will let you know WF if any good. This one is HARD but we will find a way soon.

:l:l ....at least you tried mate!

I know someone who used Hypnotherapy, one day at a time approach & after 7 days just like K9 said little by little it became easier. I thought I was going to lose my mind. First wanted to smack my hubs for really nothing. Not good, I was very agitated! I also think I was stressed from other things, some physical, some mental & when this happens it's a window for PAWS to appear with avengence. Than of course me being the alkie I am, in early recovery my head says oh wouldn't a nice big drinkie pooh calm my nerves....... NOT.

Thank you for yours & K9's support. Yes, plzz let me & anyone else like Questforthekey know how those CD's work. :l

I think I may have filed something Lav provided a link to about this. She used a CD to quit smoking ( I think) I will look for it.

Also two peeps recently told me they had better luck with the lozenges.

Hubs is hollowering & now I want a smoke.
