Would you like a mentor? (Take 2)

I screwed up and broke down around 5pm ! But I am not giving up, I made an appointement with my Dr. next Friday. I am getting off the Wellbutrin and asking him to give me Chantix. Is there anyone who Chantrix helped better than Wellbutrin? Don't give up on me, please. Eh, Phil do you still want to mentor me? I will make it because i won't give up until i do.

FEAR AGAIN

Here is the big day! Nice to have so many to share it with. Woke up with no physical desire to smoke (had a whole pack last night between 8pm and 4:30am when i finally went to bed) it has always been painful to inhale in the morning. So here i am caughing and hoping i'll get through today. One day at a time, right!

FEAR AGAIN

Erika, I have trying to pay attention to what is happening to me today. I know the withdral from the nicotine is there but patches, gum, pills ext.. will take care to help with that area of quitting, but I am absolutly convinced that the war and battle is happening in our minds and our thoughts. I found that i am not used (yet) to the fact that i gave it up so i am constantly reaching my hand out to grab a cigarette but they are not there, for a minute I think how bad I want one. Don't dwell on those thoughts at all but IMMEDIATLY start thinking about something else (not cigarette related) or get into some activity. Just FIGHT the lying thoughts with the true. I am really hurting too and i want to cry. This is probably going to be the hardest(next 7 days) Keep coming back here, I am so encouraged and feel so cared about in my decision to quit.

CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT ANYMORE...

Almost end of day 2 and I can't think straight anymore. For the past 2 hours i have been on a search of a pack somwhere that i might have missed throwing away last might and i am really getting mad for clearing the house from all that stuff as well as a i did. I have been under the couch, into every drawer and coat pocket twice. I have looked under my car seats, all over the garage...NOTHING. I should be thankful because if i had found some i probably would have smoked them. I refuse to go out to buy some. Well, day 1 is almost over. I have been reading so many posts today i am even learning computer language like TY, BTW and whatever else i already forget. Where is everyone anyway ??? I don't get everything yet as far as navigating around here. I have been many times to ssc IM, no one is ever there??? Do people have to let me in? Could someone explain. Also when I need to talk to someone--- anyone--- do i start a new discussion everytime so that someone will see my topic and help? It took me all day but the cranky, irritated by everything, angry and definatly in tears stranger i became at all my quit attempts is back. I almost wish i could afford to check myself into a rehab place for smokers....ya, lock me up throw away the key and come back to get me once the insanity is gone. I am going to bed now. Good night all
