Hi I am a newbie. my name is Bobbi. I quit smoking 7 mo. ago and am still having such a hard time with knowing who I am it is like I have been born again but it doesn't feel good and don't know what to do about it, even my friends and family say I am different but not a bad thing, just different they can't explain how. I smoked for 50 years so everything I did involved cigs. so really don't know who I am now and is very hard to deal with. I need help sooooo bad, Please!
Thanks,
Bobbi
The Dr. just put me on Trazadone 50 mg. just to sleep, have been on them for 4 days and does seem to help. He also gave me a presp. for Buprophen 150 mg. I haven't started taking them yet, really fearful about taking them< I have had so many bad effects from several meds. almost panic when am put on a new one. But I quit smoking 1 year 4 mo. ago and as time has passed I have gotten more depressed, also anxious at times. Have tried to get a grip on it for several mo. but finally to no avail went to the DR. I want to feel like I did when I smoked, so happy most of the time could handle any stress situation, what ever came along in life. It is like I don't know who I am any more. I keep thinking things will get better, most I talk to after some time they get better not worse! I have also gained weight 20 lbs. and that also makes me unhappy, I have not eatten more and have always excerised, just added more, eat healthy always have, but the weight came on any way. I took Serax about 35 years ago when my grandmother passed, has anyone taken that? but can't remember how I felt back then, and didn't take them very long. Anyone please tell me all you can about Buprophen XL, Serax. also can a person still drink alchol, not every day by any means, a glass or two of wine, once in awhile? I did some with Serax but don't know about Buprophen. Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am desperate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't have Mac, and I tried from my glove comp. there all it does is take me down the page and show me what I will get when I reg. does the same thing with the pledge, am so :confuse: driving me nuts as I really want to be able to do both! any more help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Bobbi :)
Dupe,
Thanks so much for the helpful ideas, I will for sure do them.
Like we all say we need all the help we can get! oh by the way have you joined the March quitters group? We are called the March mellows, for all that have or are quitting in March I think it is so cool to do this, they had one for the Feb. quitters also.
Keep in touch, and am sending many thoughts your way and much support!
We can do it!!!!!

Much luck and prayers,
Bobbi
Hey March-mellows,
Just stopping in to congratulate all of you non-smokers, GREAT JOB, I love having this group!
3/27 almost here and I will be a non-smoker like so many of you and with your help I will remain that way! I have been to other boards but this is the most supportative one ever! I will be out of town from tomorrow- 3/23, have ill parent's have to go to help take care of them often. I will be so close to my q-day when I get back, excited but still alittle scared, but know this is normal. I have been reacheraching for about two months, so much more prepared then I ever was the last three times I have tried. Will still be hard but this time I WILL DO IT! Like I know all of you will also!
All please keep in touch.
Bobbi
Ky women,
Thanks for your post! Yes I am a heavy smoker, smoked for 50 years, stupid ones! Am excited but scared for my q day, but from what I read that is normal. I have been recearching everything possible for two months now, have done lots of work sheets etc. Better prepared then I was the last three times I tried to quit, which was cold turkey and never again that way! Also weight gain was why I started smoking again, this time have a better plan for that. I will be out of town starting tomorrow - March 23, I have ill parent's and have to make several trips to help out with them. Will be back on soon as I get back and getting ready for the big day. I love this board, have tried some others but this is the most responsive with support.
Also joined the March-Mallows here ones who have quit in March. Is great! I am from Indiana.
Thanks again, much luck to you.
Please keep in touch.
Bobbi :)
Ok, mon. - sat. I drink coffee, and then go to water, eat supper about 4 pm small portions and very healthy. excerise three times a week for sure, then add more sometimes. this is how I have eatten for years and smoked, can maintain my weight like this but when I quit smoking 3/27 what else can I do to help NOT gain weight? oh forgot sun. I do eat breakfast and supper. Las time I quit I gained 33 lbs. in 6 mo. and I did all the same????????
Please help,
Bobbi :8o:
