Who logs in?

Tresa, I'm going to try it (going to bed now and trying to go to sleep without punching dear old chainsaw snoring hubby) ...(sigh)...because so far it hasn't worked for me either. I've tried many times throughout my 1st quit and didn't know your little secret...lol now maybe I'll be able to talk. ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]8/13/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 2 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 40 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $8.42 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 21 [B]Seconds:[/B] 21

Why don't they list edgy as a side effect?!?!?!?!?!?!?

All right, first of all, "With all due respect" apparently has little effect on another quitter in his 4th day...either does using the words "skirt" and "pansy" as descriptive lmao. I let go seven ways from Sunday today, and I have a headache. But I was sooo happy to log on here and see everyones supporting words, they help tremendously! I am really really frustrated right now, and I am glad that a few of you have seen through the humor for what it really is and can relate. I think that if I didn't use humor, my overwhelming charm may knock someone off their chair right now! :eg: So now here I am at the end of day 4 and the patch feels like this huge 400lb growth that I want excise and then use it to bludgeon my husband.

On Day 2!

Thanks everyone. I apologize for not getting back here, I have a problem remembering where I posted!!....lol I think I'll stay on the edgy one from now on...lmao Day 3 sucked as you will see, and day four (today) made me wonder if PMS can really be used as a defense for murder, but I am smoke free!!

For those of us who have quit in August ...

Welcome Tracy! This place is the best, the past few days I would have either smoked or killed my husband...no i would have smoked after killing him :eg: without the wonderful people here. Quitting sucks even if nobody says it, but you know what? I walked into a gas station yesterday where apparently they allow someone to smoke. The place smelled like an ashtray, I'd never noticed it before! I CAN SMELL! LOL seriously, you can do it because although it sucks, being a quitter is awesome and so worth it. Stay here and post alot, listen to advice, lots of water, and let us be your new friends because we'll help you along the way.

Why don't they list edgy as a side effect?!?!?!?!?!?!?

All right, so see you tomorrow wasn't such a good idea - the past few days have been really insane. I am still ticked, and Tryagain, wow. I can really relate to all you have said! I am downright mean at times, and I know I'm doing it! Maybe part of me is thinking that I don't have to hold all of the resposibility for my actions right now, although we all know that's a load of crap! I can't blame it on not smoking, I'm aware of what I do. Perhaps the filter between my brain and mouth has fallen out?!?!?!? I had better find it soon before someone knocks me off my chair eh? Cherie - whohooooooo! We can do this! I am on day 8 (I think.....) and the past 4 days were really terrible. My husband was quitting with me (hence the edginess) but after his friend Heinekin visited Friday night.....well his quit took a vacation. If that wasn't hard enough, he kept trying to get me to go outside and "c'mon, just have 1 with me honey"....and I thought "OK, is this the guy mom warned me about - ya know, the afterschool special one trying to use his charm on the young ladies - or is it the one the crime dog did assemblies on in school - c'mon kids, one hit won't hurt! Mcgruff says JUST SAY NO!????.......well I couldn't figure it out so I said NO! I don't want your smokes!, and then kicked him in the groin, shouted help! Fire! and ran to the nearest police officer. :eg: Ok, maybe I just went inside after saying no.....lol Anyway, I am still a nonsmoker, a pissed off nonsmoker, but I'm here.

Another night full of dreams

LOL, I have all sorts of them! I've had 1 or two less than desirable ones, but for the most part I do enjoy them too! Isn't that terrible? I hate the patch, but boy will I miss it when bedtime rolls around after my quit!...lol I am watching Legends of the Fall right now, perhaps if I play it again as I fall asleep dear old Brad will be there.....lmao [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]8/12/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 8 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 160 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $33.68 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 5 [B]Seconds:[/B] 9

Why don't they list edgy as a side effect?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Thanks so much Sue, I need all the help I can get... I'm reading ALOT right now, and waiting for the proverbial shoe....it hasn't dropped yet, but when it does I will be ready!!!!! Day 9. There are no words to describe how I feel other than ticked...lol I am beginning to wonder if I am just an angry person in general and have just hidden it for so long......but I don't think so, after all I like people most of the time. I'm not my husbands biggest fan right now. I know I can't make him quit, and I am fine with that (most of the time), but he doesn't understand just how assaulting his scent is when he enters the house after smoking. It really bothers me now that I can smell it. He gets mad because I can't handle him up close right after he smokes! The smell doesn't make me want to smoke, it makes me cringe because it stinks. I'm not smoking, I really don't want to, but it is hard since he still smokes. I'm not going to, and as a precaution I have thrown the ball bat into the wood chipper...lol Goodnight and see everyone tomorrow - it's been a long day but I wanted to check in and say hello.
