Sorry you decided to smoke again . The weaning down is not working , You need a plan of action .. Your what i refer to as doing the Oky..koky..one foot in and one foot out . To quit this killer addiction you need your whole self in 100/ per cent .. First thing.you need to be honest with yourself ..Do i want to be a non smoker? If you do ..then you must promise yourself Never smoke another ...Ever. There is only one rule to Quitting Never put anything in your mouth and set fire to it .. Keeping yourself in this cycle of pain and withdrawal..is pure agony. We know you want to quit ..cos you Wouldn,t be sitting on the train .. We all want you to quit .. So ...we can give you all the help and support and the tools to succeed..but its down to you to do the work .. Grab your tool box ..get a ticker.. Pledge ..and lets get this done once and for all.. You can do it ....believe in yourself .

I want to be a non-smoker. I hate the thought of smoking. I've been reading about coping skills. I'm very tired. I just want to sleep or cry. Nothing we all haven't been through. Thank you for the push. I need to hear this.

Hey Robin, sorry you caved, that sucks. You’ll do it, you are doing it. It really messes w your emotions and I totally get what you said abt coping skills…I realized I really only had smoking as my only coping mechanism…it was crazy. What you said abt how you’re done is so good. I didn’t want to be a smoker either, but I loved smoking, and I’m sure many ppl say the same thing. I still like the smell of it lol. But I know it’ll kill me. It was literal torture to watch my dad go through it….I’ve been a mess bc it’s Father’s Day weekend so I’m prob talking whack but seriously..it’ll friggen kill ya. You can do it my friend….you too leap… it gets better…way better. For me it was just about 7 weeks, then really better just after 3 months. There’s tough spots but life is just amazing on the other side. Truly

NOPE

Thank you for your response Overcome-It's such a roller coater! I agree easier just not to smoke. I don't have any cigarettes and I don't want to frantically drive to a store so that's a good sign!

Don't be too hard on yourself @robin0212 you are doing the right thing getting right back on the train. I remember how painful it was when I keep trying to quit and then caving, over and over. Easier and less painful, just quit and not smoke again.

Way to go, Robin! So glad that you are facing forward. I know evenings are tough. Hang in there, we are cheering for you. When you can’t do any more jumping jacks (ha!) check out more of the videos/posts here or play some of the games. 1-20,000 In Pictures saved my quit a bunch of times!

When I did the weaning and was down to 2 a day, I thought I could keep it at that but the cravings were worse than when I actually gave up the smokes. I felt like I was in constant withdrawal all day long, looking for that next cigarette. IMO, it won't help you conquer your cravings at all, you will just be in a constant withdrawal all day long like I was.

Thanks DenaliBlues. No smoking today.

Did not smoke today. I absolutely do not recommend weaning. When I quit the first time I tried to wean. Never worked. I tried the gum, decided I didn't want to have to get off the nicotine and just quit. It lasted over 2 years and I have felt awful since going back.

Hey @robin0212. Sorry to hear that you smoked last night. But good for you for jumping back on the Train today! I know so well what that crummy, squirmy guilt feels like. You can be free of it once and for all by getting back on track and giving yourself the gift of not smoking!

It was just a blip. Did you enjoy it? I’m thinking it probably wasn’t great. Clearly am no expert quitter but I sort think you just accept that you did it and keep moving forward. You know you can go without and that is/can be empowering! Do not beat yourself up! From everything I’ve read in your posts you are clearly stronger than you ever thought you were!

I got a varmint that started eating my chickens so I'm waiting for him to show up and find the little surprise I left for his ass tonite. Why do I feel like Bill Murray's character in Caddy Shack?

Just got my blood test done at home and waiting for my morning coffee Loving that I found a mobile phlebotomist, its so much easier than having to go to a lab
