Quitting in the morning

Hi Andy, How are you getting on? You will be clean of nicotine by now...48-72 hours - congratulations! Now you body is repairing itself and your brain rewiring itself to feel normal without nicotine flooding it with dopamine. Hang in there! this will take about 10 more days. You've already shown yourself you can get through 24 hours so just commit to that each morning and evening. The weekend is coming up...make sure you have a plan and REWARD yourself! Keep reading and good luck!

Good luck, Andy. Today is my first day. I did that calculator and realized how much I would have saved over the years, amazing.

Try not to be so hard on yourself, i think a lot of us have done the same thing. we always seem to find a reason as to why the day is not the right day. But if you want it bad enough then you will do it, but you really have to want it bad. And once you do come in we are all here going through the same things and if different someone can always help you along thats what is so great about this site, no matter what you feel someone has felt it as well so you are not alone and welcome to the journey of being smoke free [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 5 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 71 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $36.25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 0 [B]Seconds:[/B] 37

Julie, Nothing possessed you to start smoking again! Nicotine is a monster. A highly addictive one! A person can quit for 10 years and have a smoke and be up to 2 packs a day again! This is why Andy and Julie, and everyone else, remember.. NOT ONE PUFF EVER! NOPE!!!!! It is like an alcoholic having a drink! We can never smoke again! I feel great about it !

Hi Andy: I know the scared feeling of what it will be like "on the other side" without cigarettes. That is the hardest part, and there really is life after cigarettes. I too am taking Wellbutrin, and it really does take away the urge to smoke. I had been on the patch for one month, then finally got in to see my doctor for a prescription for the Wellbutrin, and really, after two weeks, I did not need the patch anymore, the Wellbutrin was more than enough. Of course, it is different for everyone, but you can do this. Drink lots of water, find other things to hold, coffee stirrers, get lots of gum, cough drops, etc., you can get through this, and it is soooo nice to not wake up and have your mouth taste like an ashtray, your house no longer has that stale, sour cigarette smell, and you no longer stink. Your sense of smell improves so quickly, and when you walk by or are near smokers you become quickly horrified and think: Oh God, I smelled like that? This site has been great, everyone has a lot of wisdom. Good luck, you can do it.
