Why is it that if we have just one puff we are back to our old ways quickly? I quit for two years once. Had a cigarette and immediately wanted a pack. How did I get back up to a pack so fast?

Please listen to everyone. You are saying a lot of contradictory things. I think you can do it, because you have done it before. History is a good predictor.

Actually, I'm having no cravings. Just being nicotine free seems to be hard. I met I guy after my maintenance group who said he quit in 1984. I asked, how? He said that each time he had a thought about cigarettes, he just pushed it out of his mind. So you're right.

I sort of hate to admit it. I quit for two years years ago, and I never really lost the craving. After lunch, I would eat chocolate because I would have mild cravings that I just sort of learned how to manage. However, I do know people who stopped smoking twenty, twenty-five years ago and they say they absolutely have no cravings. I think the cravings died for them years ago. I think each quit is unique.

Nice to hear that there might be a timetable. Was visiting a friend today, and it takes approximately one hour to get from her house to mine. I really worried about getting home okay after we ate some grapes. I'm afraid to go anywhere. Bought ginger root tea today. I'll just see if it has any positive effect on me.

I really didn't mean to sound so cold. I guess what I meant is that you can do it. You've been doing it for weeks.

This forum has been good to me. Has helped me to stay smoke-free for 35 days. However, I decided I would also benefit from some live support through one of the hospitals here in San Francisco. For one thing, I needed to know how much of what I am experiencing is due to quitting smoking and how much of it is due to having bipolar disorder. Truthfully, I haven't been so sure that the withdrawals I went through were not exacerbated by having bipolar disorder, and the psychiatrists do not have a clue as to how quitting smoking affects the dopamine recepters... Only other bipolars really know, and I'm now in a group with some others. I think that both programs will be helpful in different ways. And that I need both. I needed to have my questions about how quitting smoking and having bipolar disorder interacts, but posting the question is a no no on this board.

Not silly at all. Getting one day is difficult. Think about how often that one day comes around. Welcome!
