Keep on going Windy! Whining is healthy.. and god knows we've all done it A LOT! WHINE AWAY BABY!!! And you are absolutely right.. people who have never smoked have ZERO idea what it's like to have a rough weekend because we've quit and how hard it is... so poo-poo to them! HA! -- would rather use stronger language ,, but then i'd be thrown out on my butt-butt! LOL!

I just got off the phone with a friend who is currently single. She was saying how lately she looks forward to going to work because the weekends are rough. I hadn't told her before that I was quitting so I said that I have felt the same way (about going to work) because I am quitting smoking and the weekends can be pretty rough. I think for a non-smoker it's like saying I had a rough weekend because I decided not to drink milk. (It's hard for them to comprehend what would be difficult) Just reinforced how much I need my SCC Community! By the way - Do we have a whining quota here and if so, how close am I to using up my whining time???....Thinking I better save some in case there's some REALLY bad days ahead!!

Honestly though if you never tried to quit smoking you don't have a clue. My hubby smokes 2 packs a day. Has never tried to quit. He has no idea what I go threw. The first few weeks, he was rotten. Judging every little thing I did. Even now if I say I am wanting a cig he blows it way out of porportion. Actully he is quite supportive, he just has no clue.

Windy, I believe I may hold the whiny record. Feel free to take it from me at any time :p Never smokers cannot understand what it takes to quit. Even a lot of people who have been quit for a long time forget what it was like to go through Hell week. I think it may be kind of like child birth but I'm not sure because I'm not there yet. Just keep your quit and lean on the SSC community. That is why this place is here. You are an awesome quitter!
