Thank you all for such sound advice. This is my third day of no cigarettes and I'm feeling much better. I've been concentrating on the fact that withdrawal symptoms are almost a pleasure next to drawing smoke into my lungs. I still want to smoke, but only because an addiction is telling me I should. When I get a craving, which so far has not been bad, I stop and try to imagine the pain I will feel. A pain I felt yesterday when I walked by a crowd of smokers. It wasn't horrible, but it was enough to start me wheezing and coughing. Even so, the whiff was enough to make me want to smoke! It just wasn't enough to make me want to suffer. Yep, I'm crazy all right.

Im sorry Trygain but when i read your post i thought you were absolutely insane to be smoking when you can't breath, for goodness sake ! but then again, i forgive you cos we're talking about nicotine addiction here. i've seen people fresh out of hospital with half a lung cut out & others with a hole in their throat still sucking on a fag. thats nicotine for you.

tryagain, This is an amazing post. Your post is screaming for help. The magic cure! I'm sorry to inform you that there is no magic cure. You say you an educated individual so I will write to you as an educated person. You are an addict. It is hard to accept because we like to think we are in control of our lives. I hate to inform you but the only thing in control here is your nicotine addiction. It controls what you do at all times. You have to break free of the enslavement of smoking. You said yourself that after a couple of days of not smoking, you already begin to feel better. Then you go right back to it. That junkie voice inside of you that says you are feeling better now so go ahead and smoke has to be silenced. The only way to silence the junkie within is to deprive it of what it wants. You have to want NOT to smoke. Once your desire not to smoke outweights your desire to smoke, you will quit. Until then you will continue this game. You are educated so I'm sure you already know that what you are doing is killing you and your husband is killing himself as well. Get ticked off at the addiction. Tell it you have had enough take your life back. It belongs to you!

news flash....same answer as I gave you before....you are a "nicotine addict" cigarette companies don't have to manipulate the nicotine in tobacco.....it's HIGHLY addictive and there is plenty there to hook you. then the cig companies don't have to KEEP you smoking....the addiction will handle that quite nicely. your addiction will keep you smoking through sickness and right on up to the point of death....unless......unless YOU take the CONTROL away from that junky! You want answers....here they are #1...you smoke cause you are an addict #2...you are sick, but you smoke cause you are an addict #3...you quit..but you go back cause you are an addict #4...you aren't crazy...you are an addict What to do about this???? STOP. only YOU can do that.....and doing it now just might assure that your health symptoms disappear for good.....cause if you keep it up, one of these days, quitting won't alleviate them.....why wait till then? Be smart, STOP Katy [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/4/2002 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1850 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 74,023 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $10545 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 244 [B]Hrs:[/B] 1 [B]Mins:[/B] 26 [B]Seconds:[/B] 1
