ArwensMom,
Lady said it very well. Nothing more to add other than when you are truly ready to commit to a smoke-free life, we will be here for you. Until then, do what you can.
Best wishes.
ChickenStix,
Kiwi calls is substance abuse 101, I call it Welcome to Quit Hell. Your body, specifically your brain, is doing its best to mess with you. For the first month or so of my quit I slept as much as I could. I have never slept so much in my entire life. And my dazzling personality :8o: was even more full of itself! Hey, we all go through it. It's a rite of passage.
Give yourself some slack. You spent years smoking. It will take more than a few weeks to completely get over it. You are in the middle of breaking one of the worst addictions known to mankind. Don't be so rough on yourself. Of course, it doesn't help that you hubby smokes, but your quit is yours and yours alone. Don't be upset that you blow off some steam now and then or that you are tired more. That is just part of it. You are healing.. getting better each and everyday. In time, this will all be a distant memory. Time.. remember that.
Best wishes.
