Anybody ever have this problem

This is my two many to count quits. Goes good for a couple of days then. I cannot stay
awake. If I sit I fall a sleep and even driving which ends up putting me back to smoking
Scares the crap out of me. It's not like falling a sleep when your sleepy. It's almost like
passing out. Usually starts about the third or fourth day. Does anybody have help for this?
I get alot of sleep because I fall a sleep and sleep a lot to the point of I can't stand myself.
No energy to do anything. Help DJ

Screwed up

I have reset my meter because I screwed up again for the 20th time. I have to figure out
how to do this. I did do the best on chantix but now after all the talk they did about it
causing people to commit sucide I am afraid to do it. I lasted three months on that. If
anybody has any ideas I just feel like such a loser not being able to do this quitting. I hate
smoking the people I hang with does not smoke. My husband got up about 37 years ago
one morning and said he wasn't smoking anymore and never touched another one. Even
with me smoking, I don't even remember him being nasty or anything. I just can't figure out
what I'm doing wrong in all this quits. Some of which I get to three months then cave in. Right
now is very stressful. My mother which I have watch over for 14 years since my father passed
away. Well not been easy but this last year she was really sick for serveral months got her better
then in November she fell which before that when she was sick we discovered she had dementia.
When she fell she fracture her shoulder in three places, spiral broke her arm which now needs surgery.
Is in rehab wanting to come home because I can't make her understand she needs her arms fixed first.
She also leaves in her own home and will not come with me. Thinks she can live by herself. Before was
really this last year 24 hour care in her home which she is 1/2 hour from me. I could go one for every. But
I will stay on this site and will quit for good one day and hope I can manage to do it soon. DJ

Thanks to all of you great advice. I really think I need to either do the wellbutin or Chantix. I thought
I reset my meter but guess not. I really do want to quit. Been trying for two or three years even get
pretty far in some quits then lost it. So got to keep trying I know I will make it one day. Thanks again

Thanks Brenda and Lainey
 Great advise from both but your right Brenda I never thought about it like you said it ( to want to and
to be motivated are different.) But when you said it you right maybe I want to really bad but don't have myself
motivated enough. I have read Allen Carr's book regular one 2 times and the one for woman once. Basically
that's really in the end you have to be happy your doing it. Thanks again to all. DJ

Anybody ever have this problem

Hi Shevie and eya
 Thanks for the advice. I do think it's from the nicotine be gone from my body. I was going cold turkey. I have to
go to the doctor next week so think I'm going to either try the wellbutin or chantix. I am controlling my smoking
so that I don't get back in some of the habit. I don't sit in my chair and smoke or even any place where I use to.
Am trying to smoke outside which I hate because of the weather. Then only a 1/2 on at a time. 5 a day. So that's really good because it was 15 to 18 a day. I really would like to do this without meds. DJ

Depression & Worry

Vincenza
 I would like to reply to this even though I an still smoking and tried so many times to quit. I get myself before I even start a quit because I worry about doing it, if I can what will I do without them. Even hating smoking and wanting to quit so bad can get past the worry about it. How do you do that. I have tried everything they make to quit. I know that I defeat myself before I start. Can you give me some ideas how to get though it? DJ
