It�s ok to cry. Tears help cleanse the soul of the trauma inside it. It's part of grief, and grief is part of the process of healing - let the tears out! Don't bottle them inside, or they'll hurt you from the inside out. Hugs for you and hang in there.

Hang in there girl. I am not sure which makes us women worse this no smokin thing or pregnancy. I am still quite emotional...when the mood hits. I actually had a real bad craving today....neighbor lady stopped by to shoot the *stuff* and I was just dying to light up and bs with her. The moment was perfect, just like the old days....but I said nope ain't gonna do it. I just continued talking as though nothing was bothering me until it passed. I know how hard it is to give up smoking...my hats off to all of you Every second without a cigarette is an accomplishment and don't let anyone tell ya different. A nonsmoker doesn't realize how hard one day without nicotine is to a smoker so don't ever let them steal your thunder over an hour, day, week, month, or year, It will always be a challenge forever that we are all strong enough to overcome. 2gether we will beat Nics ash!

Hi Ang, doin fine thx. Are you cold turkey? I have previously tried cold turkey and been very much 'on edge' in fact the last time I quit I started again after about a week because I was being so horrible to the rest of the family. I am not like that at all and took the view that I would rather smoke than be horrible to my wife and kids. Anyway, well done for hanging on in there, we'll kick this habit yet!! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/6/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 16 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 199 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �40 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 47 [B]Seconds:[/B] 8

Hey Knight Amy ! I undestand what you are saying completely ! My temper is shorter than it used to be. I also get more upset over things than before. I guess that it is dealing with the change in our lives and we aren't immediately turning to smoke to 'make everything better'. I had a terrible fight with my 19 son last evening.. so angry that I told him to clean up after himself or go find himself a place of his own to trash. He was being really rude.. but I was livid.. It will get better as we get over our addiction I'm sure. I'm sorry about your parents.. I was 10 when mine divorced after a 21 year marriage. It made my life very confusing.. Take care and cry if you feel like it..(it will extend your life) Hang Tuff !

Hey Everyone!!! Still smke-free! Just letting everyone know! I am doing well, I am finding alot of other coping mechanisms for stress and sadness. Last night I was really upset about something and I just let it out and cried, I felt better afterwards. A craving was the last thing on my mind. I am alot more emotional since I've quit. More emotionasal than usual partly because of quitting maybe but also I got a bad family situation right now. If I was going through this bad situation smoking, I probably would be more subdued but also repressing everything. I used smoking as a way to block out my feelings. Either way it's better to get this emotions out now than keeping them in and having a big blow up. I have just been a bit snappier than usual I am not usually a very angry person and I cry alot. How are my knights doing?

Hi ang, We have the same quit date! Three weeks today. Go us! I, luckily, have not suffered with the emotional stuff so I do not know what you are going through. I am here though if you need to "talk". Stay strong - we are AWESOME. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 21 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 649 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $113.4 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 2 [B]Seconds:[/B] 25

ang: I am sorry that you are going through all of that. I am here if you want to talk. Always remember the problems would still be there if you smoked. So smoking will not help anything. You will still have to go through it all in time. Keep up the good work! You are awesome!
