Glad I found this site. This will be my 12th attempt to quit in 6 yrs. I made it for 16 months once, but used my husband's deployment as an excuse to start again. It's been 7 months since then, and I'm ready to jump on the badn wagon again. Please dear God, let yesterday be the last day I put a nasty cancer stick in my mouth.
thanks for listening,
DD
ps..hope I did this right (posting)
I'm with you. This sucks! The mind games can be the most difficult for me. They just never go away. I wish I could support you better, but maybe it'll help just knowing your not alone.
struggling, no I'm not using the patch. I'm on wellbutrine. I've used the patch 3 or 4 times, but three months later I can't get off the patch. I know cold turkey is difficult, but its how I did it last time. Although maybe I should use them for the first few weeks.
I was supposed to quit 2 days ago, but smoked two yesterday, and one already this am. I have done all of the usual things, made my lists, visualized, on wellbutrine, bla bla bla. It's almost like I'm ammune to these helpful ways cause I've quit so many times. I need something shocking, new, or out of the ordinary. I quit for 1 1/2 yrs, so I know I can do this...I want to run away to the woods and hide out until I'm stabble. but the truth is I'll never be. I'll always have this addiction.
I am no different than anyone you, and never menat to imply that I was. Unfortunately I live with a smoker, so getting rid of everything smoke related simply isn't an option. He is however smoking outside and trying to stay away from me.
You're right of course, I need to really want this. I know it isn't quitting, but I did go from 20 a day to two. Now I just need to kick the "after a meal" trigger.
Sorry if I affended some of you, I didn't mean to...just needed some support.
red- I too found the Q a bit moody for my taste. The month I was there I witnessed at least 3 fireball fights. Congrats on your quit. I hope to be there in 35 days!
olly,
I have never tried the them. Where do you get them? the Pharmacy? I think I'll try them. My problem with most patches/ gums is exactly that...I get addicted to them and never am able to get off them. This may be the "something different" I need. THANKS!
It's official, I'm back on the wagon. I have gone 1 day 5 hrs without a cig. I DO really want this...more than I want that cig (I've read that saying many times over the past five yrs, and still think it is THE answer). Not only have I quit, but I went and got gas today without buying smokes. That is huge for me. I kept telling myself that I was going into battle, so I had to be strong. he he and I did it. I'm sure for some of you this is no big deal, but every journey begins with one step.
congrats on your 104 days! Your my inspiration. You're 1/3 of the way through a whole year without those stinky cigs. BTW- I went to a gas station I was not used to going to...that isn't cheating, is it? he he
yeah, day two. Not over confident, but committed to this quit. The "drinking lots of water" really is helping. I'm not sure if this is where I should be posting, still really new to the site.
