Thanks everyone! Still struggling, not so much with cravings, just feeling blah, sooo hard to get up in the morning. Just woke up, skipped my morning routine to hop on the bus to head to the gym. A little lost in life, without job, family and my ohther bad friend the cigarette, I'm a little more lost. But will keep pluggin away, waitin for the miricle.

Thanks, Im hangin in there. Today actually turned out pretty positive. Sometimes I dont see the positive things and Im real good at beating myself up and not giving myself any credit. But I can actually see changes, as small as they may be, I notice some. Its cool too. Cravings are pretty good today. The only ones I really had were while I was lifting weights of all time.

It's getting better each day!

I can't believe the positive changes I notice more each day. The cool thing is that "I notice them" just little things that I consider an improvement. You don't really stop and think about all the little things that smoking affects in your body, when you smoke. I think it affects more than you learn about as I notice the changes. Its only day eleven and I notice a huge difference.

Mood swings

I just posted a while ago on another forum and I was feeling good, happy etc. Now im blah again. Is this still part of quitting? Lonliness is still something I struggle with along with missing my kids. Im trying to get some reading done I need to do and Its hard to concentrate. Oh boy, now is the time when smoking sounds good. This is no fun.

To all the veterans in quitting. What's it like after say a month and longer? How do you feel? Depression from quitting lift. I can't imagine. Thought it might be nice to have something to look forward to at tis point. Thanks

I was looking at a post I made yesterday and then one today. It's like night and day! Sorry to be a cry baby! I was in a pretty happy mood in the later part of the day. Now today I have really nothing to do and I have more time to realize how I feel. Still trying to put my life back together through this. So, it's not an easy time period with doing the quit. But I need to do this. I need everything I can do on my side to make a comeback. I sure hope it makes a difference! Thanks for putting up with me.

I'm pretty determined or I would have already given in. I stay with a bunch of guys right now and they all smoke. Once in a while it smells good, but in general it stinks real bad. Even my clothes that i have washed at least twice since I quit still have some odor. So I want this!  I want a life! I dont like being ashamed at a bad habit I have, stinking all the time. I had myself convinced that I didnt smell like other smokers, since you dont smell it on yourself. I remember when I was with my kids, I would wash up, put on cologne and brush my teeth to tuck them in because the smell bothered them. What a way to have to live! I hated it! I was always hiding it, from my boss, people I respected, people I knew that didnt smoke. I was living a lie of sorts, it was terrible! I dont want to live that way anymore.
