This time I only made it three weeks, then relapsed the day before the smoking cessation class I signed up for, so starting all over. I'm taking the class and following my homework carefully, including the reading, and then some. I keep reading the first few chapters of our textbook over and over again. And I think last time I didn't read the whole book. Going to do that this time around. Especially since it covers keeping from relapsing and I didn't read it last time. Going to read Allen Carr's book again too. Watch videos again. The whole works. I'm going to make it this time around. Though I'm having trouble coming up with quit reasons this time around. Other than I'm tired of the sore throat I get from smoking. And the numb tongue. And standing out in the heat. Well, that's three... but I had a lot of quit reasons last time around! I don't get why this quit is so much harder than any other one I've had before. I'm turning into a serial quitter. I really don't get it. I made it three months before. How did I fail after three weeks this time? Oh well. Resetting and starting over. Quit date is July 26th. So I'll be smoke free for my second honeymoon on August 3rd and 4th. I know, short for a honeymoon, but it's all we can afford this time around. He has to take a day off to do this as is. But I really don't want to be smoking for it anyway, so I'm going to follow this class closely, do my homework, and especially do my reading.

It is addictive. lol But it's nice to have something to distract me when I have craves, and I've walked a whole lot more. I actually went on a 2m walk to hatch an egg out with dad. And I hatched a 2km egg just recently with a Pikachu in it. Pretty fun. Though we just drove around to pick up some pokestops, too, and that was fun enough to keep me distracted, and I still went for a walk afterward to fight off the craves. No pokemon on the walk, though. The app froze on me twice while I was walking.

Oh wow. I missed that. What did they say about it?

Yeah, go easy with the alcohol with an early quit. That can get ya! But I'm glad you're back. You'll do great this time, I'm sure!

Hope you jumped back on your quit. I failed a three/four day quit and had to reset my ticker too. Now I'm at where I'm at. And it isn't easy. Mom's offered me one a few times when she was out smoking, and one time I took it. Now I know better than to go out when she's smoking. Please don't let him get to you again. You had a slip, and forgive yourself for it, but just keep on quitting!

NOPE!

You got an Eevee! Lucky you! I haven't even had one show up on my radar yet.

I hope the game works for you! The server goes down every so often, so be prepared for that. It went down on me this morning.

I used to be into Farmville too. To the point of paying money for it. Me and my husband would actually buy each other gifts for the game. Same with Farmville 2. But at least with this game you're walking everywhere.

I have ADD on top of my bipolar disorder, that's currently untreated. I don't know how bad yours is, but I know ritalin helped me with mine, and didn't get me smoking. I would highly suggest talking to your doctor or psychiatrist about the interaction you're having with smoking and Adderall. Mention you're trying to quit and I'm sure they'll come up with all sorts of solutions for you. How soon in the morning do you want to smoke? How often? It's possible you can try to wean yourself off of nicotine, but it won't be easy. I'll admit, I got suicidal on wellbutrin. Twice. Once when I was taking it for depression, and once when I was trying to quit smoking five months ago. But without the wellbutrin, I got severely depressed as well, and lost my 3-month quit. The first thing to know is you have to take it easy on yourself however possible. Try making your quit date on your "weekend," whenever your days off are. See if you can take an anxiety medication along with your Adderall and experiment with your doctor on dosages. Definitely get into therapy if you can afford it (my insurance covers my therapy). And I'd strongly recommend Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking. I think he's got a video on youtube or something you can watch as well. And the brilliant part is you don't have to quit smoking while you're reading/watching it. It actually says not to try to quit until you've finished. Most important, education, education, education. Read as much as you can about quitting, and watch Joel's videos. They're posted by MarylandQuitter. After 8 hours, most of the nicotine is out of your system. After 72 hours, nearly all, if not all, of the nicotine is out of your system. The first week is the toughest. But working with the people here, posting SOS, getting in chat and seeing if someone pops in, those are all viable options on this site. Distract! You want something to keep you occupied, even as the cravings are telling you you need to smoke. Color, walk, do anything you can to get the energy out of your system, especially with ADD. Welcome to the Quit Train!

I'll have to find a place. Might be nice having my nails professionally done.

Aww... I'm sorry, Bday. There's apparently an apk out there if you can find it so you can play, I think. At least, it worked for some people. I hope it'll come out in your country soon though.
