I'm Quitting!

Wishing you the best on this journey Redhead! As someone else said here recently - every quit is different - but, just take it a day (or a minute) at a time and do whatever you have to do to keep from caving. It will get better, I promise!

Everyone is different... but generally I would say it is normal to be rude. The important thing is to keep the quit! N.O.P.E.

[color=Red]Congrats on your choice to live Redhead!! Don't worry about being crabby or rude. I think we all went through that! (I was so bad my daughter even threatened to force me to smoke again!) Today you may be crabby or rude, tomorrow you may want to cry all day. Each of these things will pass!! Stay strong and know that the reward is in each clean breath you take!!

Welcome Aboard Redhead!!! The SSC is a great place to quit. Prepare yourself with coping mechanisms and stay close to this site for the next few days. Let us know how you're doing and if you need any help. Sounds like you already have the positive attitude to make this a successful quit. From one red head to another.....you really are more stubborn than this addiction. Good luck tomorrow, yell if you need us.

Hey Redhead77! Glad to see you're still here! If you're like a lot of other people, each day will be different than the rest. You'll be crabby one day and then when you wake the next day you'll be fine....then crabby the next day...then fine the next...then depressed [i](this may persist a little bit, but WILL PASS)[/i]....then fine. Eventually, you'll have some "fine" days in a row before you get a rough one, then you'll only have a rough one occasionally. Don't forget that quitting is a [u]PROCESS[/u]. Like learning how to type fast. It doesn't happen overnight (usually). Not for me anyhow!!! :blush: Just "flow" on your bad days and keep it in the front of your mind that tomorrow will be different - there is a great sense of relief in this. gpw [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/14/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 95 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,436 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $380 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 8 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 42 [B]Seconds:[/B] 40
