I know what people mean by trying to quit could drive you crazy. I have actually been trying since the end of November. I go along just great for a few days and then something upsetting happens in my personal life and off to the store I go. On Feb 5th I gave it another shop and was doing just great all week (other than the rough edges) until last evening. In the space 30 mins my kids called and said they had something to do this week-end other than spending the week-end with me and right after that my supposed girlfriend also cancelled on me for the 3rd time this week. That did it! I got back on track this morning but that didn't last long. My girlfriend cancelled on me again. I guess I don't have the support of a loved one to help me. She said she would help but there's no sign of any encouragement, in fact I have allowed her to be part of the problem.
I got another pack and I'm hating myself for it.

Hi N2K:
I'm quitting for me! Actually, if I want to keep my lt leg I better quit. One of the two major arteries supplying blood to the leg is completely blocked. Have to quit before March 8th. That's when I see the Vascular Surgeon.

Thanks so much guys. I really apreciate the support.
If you want a real big laugh read what's up next.
I am actually a Registered Nurse type A personality. I have been helping people since I was 19 yrars old (1974) and worked as a medic. I should know what I'm supposed to do but I'm have a H...ofa time applying it to me. My Dad used to have a saying; 'Don't do as I do, Do as I say.' I have talked with countless patients about health issues on a wide range of topics but when it comes to applying it to me ...well, you know the rest.
I just have to shake myself and wake up. I want to be there for my two great kids. Girl 13 and Son 10.
I will quit for me and for them.
Tom

BFS I read your post and it is what I am going through right now. The hardest part was admiting failure, now I have to get over it and quit again. I need to find the strength in my self to do this and stay quit. This addiction sucks.

Im sorry my quit meter didnt reset when I posted. Today is my birthday. I am going to quit. I feel like I am on a roller coaster. I hate roller coasters. I want to quit for good. Yes one puff will do you in. But I have to be stronger than nic. I am not giving up on being smoke free. Just starting over. I am back to day one. Guess I will be in the kitchen for alot longer than I thought. Dont give up on me. I am going to do this until I get it right.

I dont want to smoke, I keep losing my will power. This is alot harder than I thought. Help! I need to quit and stay quit. Why am I having so much trouble. It makes me so mad and now I keep thinkin why try. But I know why I dont want to smoke. I am just so frustrated about this, I just cant think straight right now. I am not going to give up. Im just have to find something that will work for me.

Cuddles,
In all due respect, do you have any support outside of SSC? Maybe something close and personal can help, like a smoking group face to face.
When I was finishing my MBA on-line I couldn't get through a very hard stat course and I need the interaction of a group and their support. I passed the course.
My concern is "YOU" and maybe its time to try something different. Now don't leave us0----- but get additional help.
You are so worth this quit and you want it, so give yourself a little more to succeed.
