Handling Emotions without Smoking

Not whining at all, Aloha. I know exactly what you're talking about & that is the scariest part of this whole thing for me. I knew that drugs & alcohol are a way to avoid dealing with real feelings but I never thought of smoking that way. Now that I realize it is & that's partly why we get so cranky, frustrated & short tempered, I also realize I am going to have to face some real (e-word here) & maybe admit that I 'm not as tough as I would like to think. Terrifying for me.

Why I am Stoping

HI, Tim, welcome. I have never heard of that condition before but whatever it is, stopping smoking can't hurt it!! Is it anything like Buerger's disease? I know someone who has that.

how stupid....

What a great opportunity you have, valic, to quit at your age. I wish I had been that aware & that strong back then. Hang in, you're doing it!

Handling Emotions without Smoking

Great idea, Lainey, we tough broads will stick together! Very good point about the mom thing, too. I know I have given up at least 2 quits because I felt I was being too hard on my kids with the crankiness & nitpicking. I didn't know what to do about it then, so I just started smoking again. Because that was so much better for them. :blush: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/13/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 11 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 220 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $121.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 5 [B]Seconds:[/B] 49
