NRT is doing my head in

Hey Ex Roller ! Sorry that you are feeling down. I would wait until you are feeling a little more up and then yes.. I would get rid of the inhaler. You will get over the physical in a few days and you sound really ready to not have any smoke anything around you. Ex roller.. it really does something great for your psychie to be 100% away from nicotine and cigarettes. During your NRT withdrawal.. take it easy and know it will pass and you will be in a great place then.. 40 days.. you can do anything man !! Hang Tuff !

Now I'm starting to do some real damage.

ArwensMom, Maybe you can get your doctor to prescribe some wellbutrin to take the edge off. It is known as the happy pill. It might be just what you need to be successful. We don't want to see you not make it.. please give the doctor a try !! Get back to us right away with results.. Good luck and hang tuff !!

smoking families

Interesting thread for sure.... Both my parents smoked. (Father died of throat cancer/ my mother has emphysema) My grandfather smoked. (Died of heart attack at 65) All my aunts in uncles on both sides (except one) smoked .. 13/14 All my brothers and sister smoke/smoked 5/5 My 3 boys do not smoke and hate smoke. My oldest daughter started smoking after getting married. My youngest daughter was smoking in high school but, quit just before going off to college. Yep.. interesting !!

Newcomer

Hey Diane ! Welcome aboard. Day one .. yea that's hard. But, you will can do it and we can help. (Sounds like Home Depot ad.. ha !) The first 3 days are really hard and you will need support. This website is the best thing that happened to me. People here are going through the same thing you are.. we understand and will help you. You are not alone in this !! I just met another new member called Doc, he quit today too.. I sent him some "quitting" advise and I am copying it here for you : There is a new club forming for people who quit smoking in February 06. It is being run by FairyDust.. We are looking for a name and for new members.. you are welcome and invited. Pick up some hard candy.. it will help with the cravings.. red hots, lemonheads, sunflower seeds, nuts, etc. get 3 different kinds for variety... Get rid of all cigarettes and ashtrays and give yourself 0 access. Drink lots of water or tea or cranberry juice. These will help flush the nicotine out of your system faster. In 3 days you will pass the physical addiction and it really is easier after that. Look at quitting for what it really is.. rehab. Pamper yourself and make the next few days about YOU. Rest when you need to, vent when you need to. Eat a bit more if you need to. Let others know that this is your time.. it helps them to be supportive. YOU HAVE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION !!! YOU CAN DO THIS !!!! HANG TUFF !!
