Hello everyone! I've been here lurking and reading every post for a week (some I read over and over). I quit last Monday, and really can't believe I've lasted this long. I am using the patch which helps with the not smoking, but is awful for sleeping. Last night I took a sleep aid and finally feel caught up on sleep.
I've had some real tough moments...feel like I could just crawl out of my own skin....cause bodily harm to someone.....enter an asylum for the amount of time I talk to myself over this bad habit! When I start to feel better I think back on how I was feeling or thinking and it just makes me crazy that cigarettes have such a hold over me!
Last night I had my family over, and 4 of them smoke. I just went into the garage with them to SMELL it. It did smell wonderful outside, but when they came in they all smelled stale! When I'm in public I gravitate towards the people I see smoking and I just want to walk up to complete strangers and say "would you mind just blowing that in my face please?" LOL
Anyways, I just wanted to introduce myself and say thanks to all you who are so honest in your posts. They have helped me so much. When I feel like a smoke, I grab my fake cigarette and come to read what is on here.
