autopilot

Your body is starting the healing process, we go through some changes when we quit. Mood is one of them. It may be a rollercoaster of emotion at first, but it eases up pretty quick.

I went through the same thing. I know why now and I try to be patient. I know it's a minor inconveinence for a big reward. It takes a little time to undo the damage we did.

Day 4 Day 4

That all sounds wonderful, but I found it better to take it slow, one day at a time. You don't want to get overwhelmed. Waiting for a day that far out is putting more pressure on yourself. It will come. We go through a lot of psychological changes when we quit, so we dont want to get ahead of them. A day at a time will get us through. In my state, you can call the tobacco quit line and they give you the first step patches. I think it's good to follow a program if you use them and use them for the amount of time it says. Just some thoughts. You are off to a good start and I hope you do well.

Jumped the gun?

Lately I have been doing pretty good, this was one of the reasons I wanted to quit smoking, to help myself any way I could. But I think I got a little overconfident and think I realized, I may not be ready to go off antidepressants. They make me very tired, the one I'm on. I wanted to just be strong, do it myself. I felt myself sliding back to how I was a few months ago, If youve never been there, dont go, it sucks like you wont believe. When you cant get going for the life of you and you cant help it trust me its bad. So at a time where I am going through the changes of not smoking and dealing with the worst time in my life, I wanted to try this after making great progress. Well, not such a good idea. I will try it again, hopefully soon. I dont want to be a slave to meds, like I was smoking. But if I need them to live a life, then I have to do it. I hate feeling weak and many you are when you have issues with depression.

Good for both of you and welcome. You have each other for support, so thats a bonus. Read as much as you can on this forum, go through the program and take it a day at a time. There are many wonderful members here to share with and learn from. Thats my best advice aside from being patient. So, I wish you both the best and hope to see you on the posts.

No that didnt work out so well, here I'm new in my quit, doing so well in general and I try changing the key thing that got me to this point. It sucks to think that im stuck relying on meds, at least for now. I cant believe how bad you can get and fast, if your not at a point to do this. I will just have to put up with the side effects.

This is probobly the worst I have been in regards to just saying forget it, I want to smoke. That for me is part of the hopelessness part of depression. Had I not been doing so well on meds I wouldnt have made the choice to quit.

Day 6!!!

You have a Gr8 attitude and a super outlook. It is pretty cool doing this. It gives you a sense of accomplishment and it's fun to see your days go up.

Keep it up!

Set up for failure

I am 30 days and because of my choice to attempt to go med free, I'm in a slippery frame of mind and it sucks. Im so down I'm having coffee AGAIN for the second time this week. I feel so crappy and hopeless right now, smoking sounds good. Im not going to do it, but would sure like to right now.

This stupid idea of mine has just ruined my whole week, now I feel like smoking. I went nowhere I was planning for the past two days, I just dont want to. Safer here anyway, no smokes.

Thanks Brenda, I know it will, its just sucks feeling like it wont. "This too shall pass" My sister say the exact same thing. Its just hard to think that way when your in a bad chapter in your life.
