Hello!

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 10

I'm a 32 (almost 33) mom in Alberta. My husband and I quite for 4 years then started again almost 3+ years ago. I've regretted the decision since. I've tried quitting quite a few times..whats pushing me now? (1) is my 7 year old..we signed a contract with him that we would quit before school..well I don't want to wait another 3 weeks. (2) I noticed that I haven't been buying anything new for myself or anyone else in fear I may run out of money for smokes...isn't that insane!!! So tomorrow I'm quitting. My hubby is doing it with me too! We are going to use the patch. My biggest fear...ripping someones head off..I seem to get so darn emotional for the first week. I wish I could use Zyban again but alas I was allergic to it :( So this time its the patch. Heres to a new life! Sabina :)

My husband never smoked but he stayed with me when I lost my marbles - does that count? Congratulations and Welcome! How lucky you are to not be a smoker any more. If you ever get envious of a smoker, just remmeber this day today when you were a smoker and didn't want to be.

[IMG]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a17/Daniwiz/837vr85rfsv34.gif[/IMG] to the SSC. Congrats on your decision to quit smoking. Knowledge is power, so get prepared. Get prepared for your mind to deal with emotions without the mask of a drug. Know that the nicotine in cigarettes has caused you to be physically addicted. Take comfort in knowing the physical withdrawal will stop approximately 72 hours if you can resist nicotine products. Be fully aware that your life routine will have to be experienced without smoking cigarettes for you to be quit. So throw them away. Do not save any. What is your routine? When do you smoke? Make a list of your triggers (when you would normally smoke). It is better to think about all of these things ahead of time so that you can go into battle prepared. Replace your bad habit (smoking) with good habits. Read about healthy ways to deal with stress/emotions and start practicing your new coping skills. Get yourself ready physically by walking more, take in more fluids, get plenty of rest and avoid becoming overtired. Tell people around you that you�re going to quit. Get yourself a Quit Buddy who will be there to provide you personal quit-smoking help and support. Fight the urge to protect yourself from looking silly if you don�t make it all the way. Believe in yourself from the very beginning. Make it come true. If you don�t make it this time, what matters is that you get back up and try again. Also, don�t forget to make rewards a part of your plan. Quitting takes a lot of work, so you want to make sure you give yourself credit along the way. Keep a list of rewards you look forward to - it will help keep you motivated. Watch out for alcohol, social situations, other smokers, weight gain, and bad moods/depression. These things can make you fall off the Quit Wagon. Like I�ve said � be prepared for these things. My husband and I quit together as well. We�ve quit. You can too. We�ll be here to support you if you need us. I look forward to celebrating your milestones with you.

Sabinav - My husband and I quit together as well, it had some tough moments (dual cravings is not always pretty) - but we have made it and our kids are VERY happy. I wish you both the best and think this is wonderful. You can do it, just realize that you both will be a little sensitive for a bit.

Sabinav - Welcome to the SSC! and Congrats on your decision to quit smoking. Emotions will run wild but think of how proud your 7 year old is going to be of you and your husband. Just think of that precious face! Have some stress coping systems in place - if things get hairy - take a breather...take a walk...love each other and communicate in a caring way. You can do this! and so can your husband!
