Congrats on your new grandson---what a wonderful time in your life..
Here I am struggling..a dear family friends son died from an overdose--I am so sad for his mom... a good family with a tragic saddness...addiction has no predjudice..no salary, no IQ, no personality is exempt.... it has no boundries...
Jason & cheryl & Jeanette it is YOU whom I give this quit for..your pain & sadness to the evil demon of which you tried but had no control...for my husband who also tried to fight him..I am standing tough to be a fighter and a winner against the demon of addiction....god I really didn't want to make this about all of this... I will stand tough,..

My oh my...I've had a few glasses of chardonnay tonight..and can't see what all the positive talk and feeling is all about..I miss my cigs and the companionship & the hiding of feelngs.....
It's not been a good day--with the loss of a good friends son...
How much time do we have here--and is it worth the deprivation?
I have not smoked and probably won't yet...just want to know don't YOU wonder too?????

Hi Glasgow--keep fighting the fight & keep your eye on the prize. Tomorrow will be better. Try to keep your mind and body busy if you can--it will help. Remember--you had bad days when you smoked too.
Keep the quit!!!! ;)

Welcome Big Red--
Congratulations on your decision. I smoked for 30 + years and didn't think it was possible. It is possible!!!! This site has been a tremendous help to see and read all the success stories. There is much wisdom & hope for all.
I'm very excited for you & look forward to making this journey with you. Just say NOPE (Not One Puff Ever)..

Hi Mel & Welcome
Congrats on your decision to stop smoking....It's going to be a battle; but the good news is it is very do-able. Please come to this site often & learn from the wonderful wisdom and advice of those who have conquered the nico-demon before us; and those that are going through the same things that you are.
Today is day 17 for me--and all though I have to say there were some difficult 'moments'--it has been pretty smooth sailing. Although new at this; here are the things that have helped me most on this journey:
* ice water (constantly)
* grapes--to snack on
* exercise --whatever is for you (I do areobics & light weight lifting)
* deep breathing
* plenty of sleep
* coming to this site multiple times throughout the day & evening
You CAN DO this!!! Just be prepared to really believe that smoking is not an option no matter what happens.....
And isn't it fun to say YIPPEEEEE I AM A NON-SMOKER!!!!
Welcome!
Deb ;) ;)

Hi Dazz,
I am on the same med--and had a bit of trouble sleeping thee first two weeks. It has gotten better--I am getting enough rest; but not sleeping as soundly as before. I am on the sustained release (SR) so, it is best to take it in the morning. Give it a couple weeks & if it's not better check with your dr. PS--It is definitely helping me..

Dear Ladybugg--how touching and kind to share your triumps and past struggles with us. It means so much in the beginning of your quit to see folks succeding and loving their smoke-free life. At this stage inspiration is sometimes what gets me through days at a time. SO--thank you so much for your time & wisdom & kindness. Congratulations on your tremendous feat ;p
