Bobbi,
Welcome to our support group. You will find great support and advice from all the members here. Work through the program and become more familiar with yourself. We also have a sister site The Stop Smoking Center ([url=http://www.stopsmokingcenter.net/]http://www.stopsmokingcenter.net/[/url]) that may connect you with some people experiencing similar situations.

Bobbi, Hi,
Did you look at the sister site for Smokers? You could get all kinds of support there for the continuing desire for smokes and how it distorts your sense of Self to be so far away from the quitting time and yet still dealing with the aftermath...
Hi Bobbi,
Welcome to the site, i have never smoked so cant understand how much it has effected you but i'm sure others on here will be able to.
What has struck me though is the fact that you have defined yourself over so many years as being 'a smoker' as if thats all there was too you.
I am sure that smoking was only a small part of who you were and still are even if you chain smoked other things were going on in your life such as work and relationships. All of these things make up the whole you, not just the cigs.
These are the things to focus on, what are you doing that is different apart from the smoking?
Are you still in the same job, relationship, home etc.
If not these could be more of the change in you rather than just giving up the smoking.
Well done any way. A great achievement. Be proud of yourself.
Try to work through the sessions, it makes you explore who you are and could help.
Good luck.x
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
