Thought I would have a Tough time but....

Hi all..... I fear coming up to my Moms for Mothers Day weekend as my Mom and her boyfriend both smoke. I have not wanted to smoke since being here. I have noticed how much it stinks and hate it when she puts one in the ash tray and walks away for it to smolder in my face, but other than that, I have not had any cravings what so ever. I hope all moms have a wonderful Mothers Day!!!!

5th Day...Why am I??

Thank you Jan and Healer.... I am keeping this site open today. Not sure if I am suppose to while at work, but don't care. I told my boss I am having a hard day. REAL hard day. She understands. I do appreciate your helping words...the Feng Shui music is helping also.

First post here, using Chantix

Hi Melissa !!!! Welcome to SSC. I am about to finish my 7th smoke free day. I am also a chantix, miracle med, user. I could not have gotten this far in my quit without it. I have wanted this quit for a long time now, but fear of withdrawls kept me from it. The fear of not being strong enough to make it through my first stressful situation. My want and desire to quit has been strong and with the aide of Chantix, I am successful. The SSC is also a HUGE reason I can also be successful. I look at my Quit Meter several times a day, as I can see all those Not Smoked Cigs in a pile and it gives me more and more incentive. Congrats on your Quit!!!!!!!!!!!!

Having a BAD day...First Terrible Craving

I am doing better now. Part of the problem is I had a tooth pulled. It was done surgically, and they had to drill into the bone. When I am in pain, all I can think of is negative, and I was in terrible pain. I finally got my meds and am doing better now.. Nic Monster is almost gone as well. Thank you all for your support.
