Cigarettes Not Smoked

Jan - Tell your hubby how lucky he is...I was crabby before I ever quit. (This helped prepare my hubby quite nicely) In fact, he preferred the "quitting smoking" crabby to the "other" crabby but, after he had put one foot in his mouth, refused to go any further to define exactly what the difference was. However, I did find it hard when I lost it at work or with friends when I otherwise wouldn't have. Fortunately, everybody was pretty understanding and the crabby days seem to occur far less often now.

Pardon me while I poke the horns back into my head!!!! As I get close to 50 smoke free days I'm excited, HOWEVER, the last few days have been challenging(PMSing). Apparently, according to hubby, and because he didn't experience the same emotions when he quit smoking 2 years ago, I might be overreacting, or was it dramatizing? I think maybe both. Yes, that was it, both. I might be dramatizing and overreacting to the emotions of my quit. Our argument is long past as we talked it out. But it all comes back to - 50 days, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months - "you've been quit quite a while now. Life should be normal for you now." HARDLY That's the ONE thing I wish some people would take into consideration. Hubby understands my sentiments about that subject now!!!! If any of you are experiencing this or have experienced this, I want you to know - I UNDERSTAND!!!! Thanks for the vent time, guys, Cheers, Jan [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/13/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 47 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,420 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $423 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 44 [B]Seconds:[/B] 34

Thanks angelcapp and welcome aboard! I have to tell you that at this point in the quit it is definitely easier. It gets easier each day. Any cravings or raw emotions you feel are only TEMPORARY. And that's a great thought to hold on to. Drink lots of water, deep breaths, rest when you need it, and most of all feel good about the wonderful decision you've made! I think we all have "crabby" days, but they too shall pass.

Susie, Sooooo glad you squashed that miserable little addict!!!! Wish I could look out my window and see Ben Lomond! All I see is melting ice on trees and slush. Lots of slush!!!! Hope you're feeling better.

Hey Jan, all I can say for MY quit, is thank God I am currently single because for sure, there would have been a shooting before now or I'd have been back on the smokes I am sure. A Quitting woman, PMS, trying to cut back on chocolate, AND alcohol AND be in a pre menopausal state as well?????? lol.
