Are the symptoms of quitting worse than smoking itself?

Oops Parola. I just read my response on 4/3/06..it should read "try NOT to let the monster get to you...".

Thanks Hummy, I think I just needed a little encouragement and practical advise. I'll make sure I eat something healthy ever couple of hours.I'm also gonna try the 10 minute SparkStart.

Pooh Pooh to you

Ya know I guess I shouldn't expect a pat on the back for every little thing but I just need to vent (or maybe whine). I saw a neurologist a few days ago and during the exam we were making small talk; I told him that after thiry some years I had recently quit smoking and I guess I was expecting an "atta girl!"but he said "What took you so long?" :(.What a poop.

Hi Sammo,Congrats on your decision to be a non-smoker.I started smoking at a young age because I thought it was cool, I also was a bit of a rebel :eg:. I quit the demon recently after smoking for 35-36 years. When I ran out of cigs that first day I used the nicotine gum for the rest of the day, but the next day I decided that I didn't want any nicotine in my system anymore so I did cold turkey. I am breathing better now and I love to take deep breaths of fresh air. In addition to the many tools on this great site I found that reading and re-reading the section "My Benefits of Quitting-Short-term health benefits"helped the first few days. Welcome aboard!

Hi elaine, Welcome to the site. I'm glad you decided to quite smoking, you don't need to be wasting your money on those nasty things plus think of how clean your hair, house and car will smell-it's great. I take lots of deep breaths and chew sugar-free gum(sometimes a BIG wad). Visit this site often and work thru the program at the left...I hope you also think about the other benefits of being a non-smoker, easier to breathe, no more stained teeth or yellow fingernails, no longer feeling like a leper or outcast.I'm loving the freedom from the smoking monster. :eg:Stay strong and stay with us-you can do it.
