amethyst_isis, Congratulations on your decision to quit and welcome to the SSC. #1 thing to realize when you first quit.. IT SUCKS!!! Life will never be the same. But that is a good thing. The interesting part is learning how to live smoke free. That is probably the greatest challenge to a quitter. Quitting is all about change. When you quit you give up that coping mechanism that you had for years. Welcome to life! As raw as it may be at times, life without the cancer crutch is truly life in its purest sense. Give yourself time to sort things out. Give yourself a break. You probably won't be a lot of fun to be around for a few weeks.. so what? That will pass. Explain these emotions to your loved ones so they can have some sense of what you are going through. Print out articles from this site so they can read for themselves the travails you will endure. Perhaps the 6 yr old really won't understand all that much, but you need to take some time to explain the changes that are happening. Knowledge is so important. Read all you can here as well as all the information available on the web. There is truly a wealth of information at your fingertips that can provide you with much inspiration and knowledge. To win a war you must know your enemy... learn the truth and learn what your body will go through as your progress down your quit path. Best wishes. [b][color=Purple]Be Strong. Be Smart.

You've got a ton of good advice here, Amethyst. Everything you experience from quitting is healing and in the long run it is very much worth it all. Take care of you and your daughter and let your partner take care of his own adult self. You're his companion, not his mother. Keep up the good quit, Amethyst. :) Shevie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/23/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 432 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 8,653 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1641.6 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 80 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 58 [B]Seconds:[/B] 3

Oh No. Don't you do it. The junkie brain is fighting you for control, and is going to exacerbate every emotion you have. Do NOT make any big decisions right now. Focus on your quit. Focus on you. Do the bare minimum that you need to do to get by. Laundry? Wash what you need and leave the rest. Cooking? Let the hubster cook. Tell them that you are very ill right now. You are detoxing from many drugs. Go to bed and pamper yourself. You've got the Kicking It Flu. If you had a regular flu, things would or wouldn't get done. In the long term, your quit is the most important thing right now. If you don't continue, six months, two years, five years from now, are you going to be saying "I wanted to quit but I had to cook dinner instead"? You must stay with your quit. It isn't other people who make your quit worth it. It's you.
