Hi, just wanted to say hello, I'm a 45 year vet of the smoking habit and having a really rough time. Although I'm taking Chantix I still have that feeling deep in my lungs, crying for a butt!. I know it would be a lot worse if I were doing it cold turkey...Anyway I'm sick of spending so much $$ on cigarette's, and sitting in the dirty parts of restaurants when we go out (among other things).
My husband and I are doing this together, he seems to be have an easier time then me (ugh! I resent him!!!)But I know him stopping is easier for us both! Thanks for listening!..Diane
Oh, almost forgot Been smoke free for a week now.
Thank you all! It does have a calming effect knowing others have been there and done that!
I do suspect my husband is having a rough time also, but good to hear it from a guy! :eg: Again Thank you all!
I tend to get lost in the daily stuff and I forget about all the support out here for me.
Quiting is very new to me. In 40+ years of smoking, I only quit once, for 6 months. I'm not use to the change here. So...I forget that I can get on the PC and talk to others in the same boat.
My cravings are really bad at times, and sometimes they tend to last an hour or so...those get rough! My husband has quit also and he says he hardly gets any cravings (we quit at the same time)
When I was out the other day, I bought a pack of cigarette's. This may sound like a con, but the fact that I have cigarettes here, make it easier on me. I know that if I want a cigarette, it is my choice.I have them and am more then welcome to smoke if thats what I want.
Well thanks for listening to the ranting of a crazy woman! :confuse:
Wow everyone is so great here! Thank you.
This is the hardest thing I have ever done. Believe me I mean that whole heartily. I will tell everyone this because I am proud and grateful that I've been given a second (and third) chance. I am a recovered alcoholic, (over 10 years!) and giving up drinking was MUCH easier then giving up smoking. I find myself using the tools of AA when things get really rough.I am still getting awful cravings, that last sometimes more then an hour..I am holding on, just remembering I never have to go through this again if I choose not to!!
Thank you for all the support and just listening to my rambles! :p

Hi, Hubby and I are doing good so far. I have cravings a lot more then he does, but I'm dealing ok
.We sure eat though. Seems we're always hungry. And we are gorging! My husband says right now he'd rather be fat and smoke free then thinner and be smoking. I'm really worrying about putting on all the extra weight! BUT, I do know I don't want to smoke. So....we eat, and eat, and eat...guess we'll deal with the weight gain somewhere down the road. When does the appetite go back to normal??(dopey question, I know, but looking for the light at the end of the tunnel I guess!) Thanks for listening. :confuse:
