WELCOME TO THE CLUB....................quitting smoking can be the hardest thing I have ever done,,,,and pehaps the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I quit smoking while taking a math class, so I understand the whole space out thing, I took finals with a craving like you wouldn't believe, I have to take the class agian........I can honestly say, I know exactly what your talking about........first of all I hate math, so attempting to quit while doing a math class was kindof lame, but regardless, I am 20 days smober,,,and I still have the urge to smoke when I first wake up, or after I eat something...thats normal for someone who did the same thing for 32 years, day after day........... your brain is getting more oxygen too, so its going to make things seem spacy, cuse your lightheaded. I used hypnosis... Paul McKenna....stop smoking for good........I read the book by Allen Carr "stop smoking the easy way" I read it three times........I chew on flavored toothpicks, I stay busy, I write here a lot, I try to tell people that they can do it, if I can do it,,,,,cuse I thought I would NEVER EVER BE ABLE TO QUIT................. I mean it. I was dedicated to smoking no matter what......I was a dedicated to my own brand...Virgina Slims 120's luxury lights, regular flavor,,,,,,,,for 32 years......I ordered stuff from their catalog after I would collect a ton of the usps symbols on the box, and be so proud of the stuff I would get as a "reward" for being such a loyal customer....when really the reward for being a loyal customer was worth only a portion of what I originally spent on the smokes, but the real reward was that I had to keep buying more to feed my nicotine addiction................it doesn't matter if you smoke light cigarettes, they are ALL addicting.
My reward to for quitting far outweighs the benifits I got as a smoker.............there is just too many to list. I am rooting for your success too..........Jules
