It's funny how a trivial little box can make you feel so GOOD about yourself isn't it? Keep giving yourself those at-a-boys! It is a big deal too. It's a great accomplishment quitting smoking. So how long has it been for you now? You don't have your meter running so we can keep track of your progress.
Still smoke free? If so, awesome. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids to help flush out the nicotine. Keep your mind and fingers busy too. Don't give in to the temptations and be sure and get plenty of rest. The first few days can be very taxing on your body.
Hope your still with us, stay strong and keep your guard up.
Working on it gave you some pointers. The best thing I can say is read read read in the forums and learn as much as you can about what to expect on your journey. You need to be prepared for what lies ahead. You don't want any surprises to pop up and not know how to deal with it other than having a cigarette.
I wish you the best. You CAN do this if you really want it.
Glad to hear the cravings aren't too bad for you. Hopefully the third times the charm for you. If not don't give up, and keep on trying. The only way to lose is to quit trying.
You are forgetting and missing something, your old smoking buddy the Nico-Demon. Keep kicking his ash!!
I'm glad to hear that you're taking the plunge for no reason but for yourself. It's also good to hear that it's been easier than you thought it would. Sounds like you've got the right attitude to kick that Nico-Demons ash! That Tabex sounds like it has the same side effects that some other NRT does. I used the patch for the 1st month and learned after the first day to put the patch on in the morning, not at night. Once I did that the weird dreams stopped. I had to stop using the patch after a month since I started getting allergic reactions to them. By then I thought I had it under control.
Your sleep patterns will get better as time goes by, don't sweat it. There's a lot of changes you're going through quitting smoking and your body needs to readjust to the new changes and the new you. It's all for the better too.
Be sure and get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids to help flush out the nicotine, and keep your guard up at all times.
Welcome to the SSC. You're right, it is going to be tough, but it sounds like you really want this to work, and if you really do want it, it may turn out to be easier than you thought it would be. Attitude plays a MAJOR part in your quit journey. Keep that "can do" attitude with you at all times. There are many many triggers that will make you want to give up trying, but stick with it and soon you'll start feeling elated about your accomplishments.
Well back to day one of hell week. I hope you did learn your lesson. I'm also glad to hear that you're not going to give up trying.
Drinking is a big trigger for a lot of folks. You had a pretty good quit going too, so I think you can do this if you can avoid the alcohol, or at least, drink in moderation and avoid the situations where it's easy to have a smoke.
I hope you're still smoke free. Sometimes the 2nd or 3rd week is hard than the 1st week for some people. It's always different for each person. Having a smoker in the house does make it harder for you too, but if you're really determined, you CAN do this.
Seven months was a great start. Do you know what happened that caused you to quit the quit, and did you learn from it?
Nine years....AWESOME! I can't wait until I can brag about being smoke free that long.
Keeping busy enjoying your smoke free life is always good too. It's nice not planning your every move around a cigarette isn't it? Keep the quit going, and keep enjoying life.
Oh. by the way, the SeaHawks are going to take it this year again!
