    Still not drinking... but blew my smoke quit!!

    Had a frustrating day and bought a pack. Oddly, I didn't have urge to drink, so I guess I should be thankful for that...

    I was just about to go into Day 4 of quitting smoking - and ONE big frustration today, and POOF.

    I will (WILL) start my quit After this pack is done... (Don't tell me to throw out, pls!)

    Not sure what I expect people to respond. Just felt like writing this down.

    One - Well, I've read SO much about quitting. Even quit for about 5 months a few years ago. Quit for 3 weeks a month or so ago...

    But it's a lot like quitting drinking (only worse, I think, since I've been able to have a drink without wanting more...). With cigs, if I have ONE... well, I'm back smoking. Just no excuse - except WEAKNESS. Nicotine definitely has a stronger hold on me than alcohol.

    If ONLY they'd invent a pill that you could take that would just make you not even Think about cigs!!

    (But if everyone quit smoking, who'd pay all those taxes??)

      Hey, Giving up smoking and drinking... WOW! You are one strong person. You're not made of stone, you're human, We all make mistakes and we all get weak. The thing to remember is that you're really trying to quit and better your life and health so finish your pack (i'll not say throw them out *lol*) and stop again!
      Stay strong!!! We're here for you!
      Good luck!

        I finally gave up smoking but it took me many many attempts.

        For some reason days 4 and 5 seemed to be the worse for me. I cannot remember how many times I would stop only to start again on day 4 or 5.

        It also takes 48 - 72 hours for nicotine to leave the body- I think those days are hard because the addiction is physically dying (the mental part of it can take a little longer) but physically after 4-6 days you are done.

        A friend of mine recently stopped with champix (think it is called campix in the US?) A pill that somehow puts you of smoking.

          my daughter and another friend has great success with Chantix. Can have side effects if you're sensitive but they both said it was a miracle.

            I think (not 100% sure) my friend got it of her doc in the UK- you can also get it online.

            If I had to give up again, I think that would be the route I'd take

              Marbella - I've heard that Chantix can be good, but it's Very expensive! And I'm unemployed...

              I may buy nic gum at some point. That's worked pretty well in past for me.

              Hope you all are having better day than I am - I seem to have lost my wallet!! Hoping someone found it & will call or something... Bother!!

                    I used chantix and it worked great. When I ran out I was down to maybe 1 dip a day and figured I could just quit...BOOM back up to a can a day.
