If you have spent any time at all on this site, and from the number of posts that I see from you, you have been here for awhile, and you have read many many times that each quit is as different as we are.
If antidepressants, or a drug in that family, make you feel like committing suicide, what about talking to a therapist...
I'm going to be completely honest with you, and let you know that some of us have the most difficult time in the world, a literal walk through a hell. On the other hand, there are many of us who have less difficulty, but it's still one of the hardest things we've ever had to do, if not the hardest thing many of us have ever done.
So this is the time to find some coping skills. And if medication or therapy is something that would be an option, keep looking, and don't give up. If you want to find an excuse to smoke, my friend, you will! And if you want to find an excuse about why nothing is working or helping you, that will be easy enough to do as well.
On the other hand, if your desire to quit is stronger than your desire to smoke, and if your mind is open to finding the help and support that you need, you will hold onto your quit no matter what. And smoking will not be an option, period...
This journey is about choice, my friend.
Spend as much time as possible on this site, reading, reading, and reading. As different as we all are, there are some things we have in common on his journey. Each of us needs to learn new coping skills, we need to learn how to deal with life with no smoke screen, and we need to learn how to take care of ourselves on a level we have never known... in order for all of this to happen, we must have a willingness to make it happen.
Own your quit, and own your power!
Love and blessings-
