Thank you BF,
I liked a bunch of those! Well, the ladies showed me a lot of scripture yesterday that I am going to be studying all week. Isn't that great! I am so shocked that anyone cared!

Yes, I am still here and going strong. The patches have made it much better and I have a doctor's appointment for tomorrow. I haven't smoked and the cigs in my daughters bedroom only wisper instead of scream now. I am asking for Wellbutrin or zyban at the doctors and maybe that can be working when I have to step down on the patches.
That is what I had trouble with before with the patches, and that is why I was going cold turkey this time.
I am still here everyday, reading and reading. I havn't posted much because I don't have any crisis feelings right now, but I am here, still studying.
Thank you for your help, I think I can make it....

I don't know what to do. I am soooo deproessed and hopeless feeling. I can't think of anything good about my life anymore. I just want out of this whole thing. To go buy cigs and go back to my life as it was before. I want to not think about the effects of smoking anymore and just smoke and smoke for a couple of hours.
I guess I need couseling or something but now it is so intense that I wonder how I could even make it untill monday to call someone. I don't know what to do but just go buy some cigs and start again.

Niks, I am also having a hard thime today. It is raining hard here and I can't get out of the house really. My daughters cigarettes are calling my name loudly!!!
I am sooooo depressed and hopeless feeling.
I am thinking that this is something more than just not smoking. I am so hopeless. I want to smoke and smoke and do nothing else for a year.

Yes, but one thing is for sure. You may be really farther along than me on the smoking thing, but I have to say in all humility that losing weight is kind of my forte and that is easy for me! You help me with the not smoking thing and then when we get over that some, I can help you with the weight loss thing. Somehow, when I started on this, I was 206lbs and I found all the research and tracking and stuff facinating. That is really what started all the not smoking stuff with me too.
Anyways, you can afford a couple of pounds and it will only take a couple of weeks to get it back off again.

Well... when I walk around my building at lunch to do some excersize instead of smoking my lunch like I used to, I notice a lot of people still smoking. But most people don't just throw the butts down on the ground. I know when I was smoking, I would put the butt in my pocket or purse or put it out in my ashtray in my car.
Here in Texas, which is the last frontier I guess, we still have a lot of smokers. Since I quit I notice them more i guess. I don't think the whole world started smoking because I quit. (that has been one of my irrational thoughts though)

I lost a lot of weight this year and now, jus this week I put on two pounds again! But the weight loss didn't make me feel much better about myself and I think it is adding to my depression right now. I think that I expected to look like a 20 year old bomb shell again and it didn't work that way. Now the quitting smoking, I told myself that I will feel better being strong and healthy. Now... I'm not so sure that that is living up to my expectations eaither. Weight is not nessisarily so all important. I know that when the worst of this is over (which I can only have faith that it will be) we both know that we can lose it again if we want. I have allowed myself some nice meals this week and now I do regret it, but at least I didn't smoke. It's a vicious cycle I think.

Breaking free,
Looking at the first post of this string where you started us on this I think it says that you are 135lb. is that right? How tall are you?
I am 5'4" and 135 and my doctor says that that is just perfect. I am unhappy with my stomic but the only thing that will help that is surgery because it is all extra skin from the wieght loss.
I am keeping in mind that my bmi is good and I can afford a few pounds (I think it was 5 more) before I am considered overwieght. depending on your height, you can probly afford a few too!

I don't think I have ever felt this hopeless. I am thinking now that it may be because I am not feeling any pride in quitting smoking like I thought I would. Right now, I don't care about any of the reasons that are on my list anymore. This isn't nessisarily a suicide kind of depression, maybe just a "I don't care" thing that I can't shake. I am feeling more alone than I have been in years and I've been divorsed 5 years. I am re-evaluating every move I have made in my life! I made so many mistakes, one of which was beginning to smoke.
My whole life has revolved around smoking for so long that now, I don't have a center anymore.
