Day 13 cig free

Tobacco/Smoke-Free Roll Call

I haven't been able to taper as well as I was hoping, but had kind of a stressful weekend so I'm not too upset about it. I'm on day 4 of Wellbutrin, so as that kicks in more and I go through the week I'm feeling confident that I can taper if not outright quit this week.

Hope everyone is else doing good and enjoying the weekend!

Tobacco/Smoke-Free Roll Call

Day 14. I had a birthday party with old friends last night, all of whom were drinking and smoking pot and a few of which smoking cigs. My sobriety was solid last night, no chance of indulging in alcohol, but it's a MIRACLE I didn't smoke cigs last night. But I didn't! I did chew like 10 nicandies, though. But it worked. No alcohol, no smokes, and that's a win for last night so I feel good.

Confession time, I smoked a pack over the weekend. Guess I am on day 2 again...although I'd prefer to say day 8 with a slip. LOL Not even sure what happened. Made it home friday night and then said "screw it". Bought one pack and dragged it out until Sunday morning at noon...which is my new quit time.


Day 2....AGAIN.

It happens, K9. Maybe you could keep gum or lozenges or something around? It's helped me ward off buying a pack a few times now. I'd be like "OK if I really want a pack, I'll take this nicotine lozenge first and if I still want a cig in 15 minutes so be it". And it's worked so far.

I have the gum. I have to admit it was an emotional reaction. My daughter (16) is being very difficult. I get home and think to myself "I work HARD all week now I have to deal with her emotional crap...I need SOMETHING just for me".....yeah, not a good thing, but I did it anyway. She asked me if I smoked because of her...I told her NO, but truth is, yes, she drove me to it. But like drinking, nobody held a gun to my head. But yes, her actions triggered it! Anywhooooo....Next time I will calm down and give myself time to think before I jump in the car (wearing pajamas no less) and head down the street!

Well, I bombed in both drinking and smoking this weekend. Really feel like crap. So day 2 here. I know I'll get to the point where I'll be thankful I'm an addict of just about everything, but I'm really far off now.

Skull, good for you at the party!

Petey, hang in there.

K9, day 2, me too.

Sorry to hear about the relapses, ladies. Way to be strong though and sticking with quitting.

I dipped about 2/3 of a tin yesterday and hope to limit myself to the remaining 1/3 today. If I can do that, I'm hoping I won't buy a tin tomorrow, or if I do, I'll only dip 1/3 of it or less.

Keep on the fight, everyone! :boxer:

Keep the faith, K9- you'll get back on track! If I can do it, anyone can. Tomorrow's a new day. Or today even, you could toss the cigs and just ride it out with the gum til you feel better... ? Sorry to hear you had a rough night... hope today is better for you my friend

Thank you Skull!!! My daughter is in therapy and last night we had a "joint" session. Boy, if you ever want to feel like CRAP about yourself, go to therapy with your kid! And me buying cigs on the way home was just more ammo for her in regards to all my faults. Oy vey...I hope I (and she) survive this. LOL
