Hi Everyone~ One Day At A Time

Hi everyone- i'm just starting to get involved in this program- actually i am using the baggy method- where i started with 20 cigs in the bag on the first day- october 1- now i'm at day 12- it is getting hard as the number of cigs go down- i have 9 cigs to smoke today- for coping and freedom strategies i meditate(TM) sometimes 4 times a day-
i have been up since 5:30 this morning and haven't had a cig yet- i quite drinking alcohol in 1985- i am also a recovering alcoholic.........which is why it has taken me so long to give up smoking- well i guess that is it for now- i wish you success in all you do today.........cadorote

Myth or Fact? I Failed!

hi brenda- i totally understand your bipolar cycles and problems with quitting smoking- my ex-partner is in treatment right now learning that her drug use is brought on by having the disease of bipolar.........i myself am schizophrenic- highly functioning because i have a lot of support and i always take my meds- anyway i think it is very difficult to quit addictions when you have mental illness- but for me i just keep trying- it's two steps forward and one step back- i want to quit because i don't want yet another illness to come upon me - i just really support you in your attempts to try to address quitting any addiction with having bipolar- do youi have therapy and or medical help? mary
