I am fighting hard and I've been through hell. I've been depressed and even to the point of wondering if I'm dying. I would not go through that again for anything!!! I thought that if I quit I would feel wonderful and I don't. Somedays are ok but some days are not. I still get sob and I still wake up sometimes and have that brown stuff just laying in the back of my throat. I'm hoping for a rainbow at the end of this journey and I hope to find it soon. I have been to the dr. and he just wants to dope me up so I won't complain I guess. He seems to think that because I quit smoking that everything should be just peachey.I am working very hard on reinventing myself. My present goal is to eat healthy and to take good care of myself which is hard because every penny I make I spend on my kids and grandkids. I'm learning how to be good to myself slowly but surely. My kids have been my life and now I am alone and that makes it hard too. ok, enough. Sorry about that.

Deb, I smoked after a 3 years when one of my younger sisters was murdered 20 years ago. And here I am right now. I haven't been able to get more than about 2 1/2-3 1/2 months since. (I don't actually know what my longest quit has been since, but I think I'm about to surpass it.) That craving to smoke, believe me it is Nicodemon taking advantage of a bad situation. The demon convinced me that I was no longer addicted and could have just one. Try and hang in there. This too shall pass.

I haven't been replying to anything for awhile but when I see that you are feeling bad, I just had to tell you that I hope you hang in there. We had the same quit date at one time and I am still struggling to stay quit. I made it through the death of one of my sisters and I'm now going through my daughter's divorce without a cig. I want to smoke so badly that I can taste the smoke filling my lungs and then exhaling it out. I have smoked in my mind. I am hoping that sometime this will all be worth it and the old timers on here tell me that it will be. I hope you reconsider your decision to stay away and come back and try again. I wish a bright future for all and I will never quit the quit.

Oh, poo! Get your head on straight and then get back here. Nick needs a quit buddy and you WILL quit one of these days!!! You, dear Sparky, are your own worst enemy. There is nobody here that condemns you for your slips except YOU! At some point, it will happen and you will surprise yourself. Your quit will mean more than any other, because you worked so hard for it. Never quit quitting..... My Milage:

Sparky, Ashley is so right. SSC is a wonderful family that will never kick you out. LOL. It's a safe haven, a place where no one will judge you, a place where you never have to feel ashamed or afraid. Lick your wounds and then come back.

It's ok Sparky. Many people have slipped you are not taking anything away from anyone. It takes time to prepare and this place is a great place to prepare. No one judges you if you slipped because we have all been there. You are always welcome here.
