Congratualations on your new lifestyle!!! And thanks for this it is just what I needed to hear right now.
I'm desperately trying to get a paper written and my BIL is outside puffing away... and all I can think about is smoking. To see that after a month you managed to go a whole day without thinking about it... well it gives me hope :)
Plus I have a mad bad headache...
Rant over

OK I'm calm again.. thanks guys... that was a close call... seriously I was considering looking for butts in the car. God damned junkie brain. I am so determined to beat this. I'm definitely talking to hubby when he gets back about how to deal with our obvious irritable moods and some ways to reward ourseleves this week. We were both doing good. But, on the bright side, I got through this and I REFUSE to have another cigarette. It helps just writing here. Thanks for listening!!
I also just noticed that my chocolate tastes better than before.
See things are already looking up.
You guys are awesome and I am so full of gratitude to be able to come here and ask for help and getting such great advice. I've been reading the hall of fame and its inspiring.
Anyway better go deal with the hubby.
Much love

Thanks guys...
OK I'm breathing and reading my list of reasons I quit... hubby popped his head in and I made him promise he wasn't going to get smokes. Hes going for a run instead to cool down... I'm going to eat some chocolate and play some solitaire...seems to distract me.
I can do this. We were going to have an arguent at some point. When he gets back I'll give him a hug and kiss.... men!!
Starting to feel better... THANKYOU!!!!!!!!

My hubby and I just had a major blow up. He quit as well this week, and I guess our irritation collided. I want a cigarette sooo bad right now. He said hes just going to smoke so he doesn't feel so angry. Help!!

I'm with you heather... mood swings, irritabilty, irrational behavior, violent tendencies (I'm kidding about the violence :)...
This will pass I know it. I quit for six minths before and this bit does go away. Just look after yourself and don't beat yourself up because you're a bit weepy. Try and relax. It WILL get better.
NOPE...

Just an update...
Well neither of us smoked so we are on to Day Four. We were extra special nice to eachother this morning... I even put a note in his work bag telling him how proud I am of him. So we spent the rest of the night talking about rewards... and we decided that as our big treat we would save the money we would have spent and treat ourselves to a week in Italy!! This has been a dream of both of ours so I'm even more juiced for this quit now.
Otis I think you're spot on in arguing just as an excuse to smoke. I'm definitely going to work on avoiding arguments and doing my deep breathing and yoga when feel stressed. Hey I might even go for a run with the hubby!
Anyway thanks again guys. I think the support in this forum is going to help me (and hubby) make it this time. You are all such superstars!!

I was here over a year ago when I managed to quit smoking for 8 months with the help of everone here and my own determination. Everything was awesome then - I managed to overcome a lot of my anxiety I was lookng after myself, eating well and exercising regularly. Then I got a new job and everything went down hill. My panic attacks returned and one afternoon at work when I went out side to panic, a coworker who also suffered from panic attacks gave me a cigarette to "calm me down." In that moment of weakness and fear I smoked it and set off a chain reaction which leads me back here today.
Fast forward to now. I quit my job, but did not quit smoking. My anxiety issues returned and I have not been looking after myself. But now it has become imperative that I get back on the wagon and I need your help. Yesterday I found I am pregnant with my first child. I am so excited as is my husband. Last night I made the decision to quit cold turkey which I have never done before. Now I am sitting here craving a cigarette literally crying my eyes out as I type this. My husband has gone to work and its just me sitting here. If there is anyone out there right now please help me throught this. I am already racked with guilt that I may have damaged this baby already.
Thank you thank you sassy and astrofan. You have no idea how much I need your words right now. I've just been sitting here reading others posts remembering my last quit, remembering that I did it before and I was fine - no better than I ever I was when I was smoking. Your words made me cry again but in a good way. Everything is setting me off right now - ain't hormones grand!
Thanks again.
