An Update...

Well besides wondering if I might be losing my mind or just had a very vivid dream,things have been going really good...As a matter of fact my husband has decided to stop smoking too...He is already down to like 4 a day,but he has quit before so he has some experience in it..Me I am still preparing for the 30th and can't wait for it to get here..i am so ready to do this..I would just stop now but don't wanna jump off that curb to soon..I feel like the meds are doing good also except for that one thing earlier but I do know vivid dreams are possible with all three meds I am taking so it want scare me too bad...The only thing that worries me is the side effects that are possible from the Chantix and I have my family on the look out for those and am sure all of you will let me know if I start posting weird out there stuff too....But if I weigh the risks of doing a few weird things while being able to stop smoking or dieing from lung cancer..I do believe I will take the meds over that...Well that is where I am for the moment and still preparing and reading and even if i don't log in I do at least check the posts every day to see how things are going for every one...Staying strong and getting ready to say nope..

Think I am losing it...

thank goodness..I was beginning to wonder if I was losing it or dreamed it one but,i knew that i had posted to that one first then some of the others..When I couldn't find that one I looked to make sure I had even been on here and posted to the other ones..This isn't funny but it is..I find myself tripping on small stuff now that I am completely sober,before I used the excuse of the drugs but have been free and clean for over 5 years..I do it still so it must be natural from time to time..I already worry about my sanity if it gets worse when I completely quit smoking Lord help me..But Thank you for reassuring me that I wasn't imagining things...

Think I am losing it...

I agree with you Brenda, it made my night to see that you was thinking about me..I would have not logged in last night had it not been for you asking...I am glad that there is someone out there with me in their thoughts and prayers as you all are in mine..Thanks for letting me know..There for a while I thought i was losing it..I did reply and I guess you didn't get to see it..i wish they would have ask me first,because I would have told them to leave it...I guess now we all know not ask anyone how they are in a thread like that...confused and a little upset over it because it was a sweet thing for you to do really touched me..I am sorry to hear you have been having alot of down moments,you have been in my thoughts as well..stay strong and keep fighting..again thank you

Ok!! Help me hang on...

I went to bed last night and told myself that I would give the complete quit a test run in the morning..I got up and I didn't have that cigarette...Then after breakfast no cigarette still...Around lunch is when the shakes came on but i still refused to give in..I have just about chewed this straw apart but still here it is 3:53 pm my time and I have went all day without even one puff...i almost slipped awhile ago..i opened a pack and took out a cigarette,went on the porch and just held it in my hand, but did not smoke it..I know i wasn't suppose to stop yet but if I can hold on just for today,then just for tomorrow I believe I can make it...
  There is a few things I didn't expect and that is the shakes I got..I didn't get them when I quit the drugs I use to do..I feel like I am going to explode about every five minutes or so..Maybe that is the cravings kicking in...But I am here and I am going to need all the help I can get...it's early but maybe I was ready and didn't know it..Now I wait and see what's next..Just hanging in every minute at the time and saying nope with all my strength.. When I make to tomorrow without even a puff I will reset my quit meter and go from there..
      14 hours nicotine free....yay

I just quit

 congratulations Nick..Since a 0 is impossible I would guess the two you scored is like your zero then..I never heard of a co reader eighter but it sounds much like the devices used on alcoholics..Your doing great..stay strong and keep saying Nope..

Ok!! Help me hang on...

Thank you all for the support..It really does help alot..
   Belle,I was getting nervous every time someone ask me my quit day..But it seems it has happened faster than I had thought..Thank you for your support
  Lainey, ..You know I didn't realize that the nicotine was why more worse to quit then the drugs I quit in the past..I am fighting with all my might..thank you for your support
  Marivi, ...The mental side I have found today that I can deal with but, the physical part is really wearing me down...I am glad this day is almost over..thank you for your support
 Freedomseeker,..I am doing my best over here..i do want this really bad....Thank you for your support
Ashely, I am keeping it going..The hubby has been really supportive and he isn't smoking eighter..Thank you for the tips..thanks
  I am now  17 hours nicotine free and still haven't caved and am saying nope with all the streanght i can draw from myself and everyone here...thank you all for your support and encouragement..I am doing ok..the shaking went away but I have felt sick to my stomach at one point because I wanted a cigereet that bad...The thing that is confusing is how can you want something so bad and at the same time not want it just as bad...I am sure that sounded crazy just then but to anyone who has quit it will make perfect since....I am really doing this..It is hard to wrap my thoughts around it right now but maybe that is good..I am in shock as to how incrediable hard but easy it is to say nope...well it is 7:35 pm my time and I have made it all day and am facing the night now but feel more confident than ever...Thank you to everyone..
