PS; let me help you out here (one time offer as we are now adversaries in this game). Bakon will randomly put in any positive number he feels like, just to get the "chicks" going. He SHOULD have entered 0, then you would go with -1. I would then come in with 0 again. Now we're straight again. You will figure out the "Bakon" factor pretty quickly - lol We are now at 0

Relatively new here myself natalie_3 but welcome back. You've quit before obviously so you know what the drill is. You using any quit aids or Cold Turkey and is that any different from the previous time you quit? Just curious. Come often, read up on all the quit smoking stuff again and strap yourself in for the ride. Looking forward to sharing the journey with you :)

Umm..... yes, I have had some of that stuff and I'm pretty sure it's related to the quit. I had horrible bronchitis when I quit. Matter of fact; that's probably the single thing that pushed me over the quitting brink. Later on I developed a brutal sinus infection. I have also had very abnormal sleep patterns and wake up at night with a feeling like my mouth and throat is full of sand. Run to the bathroom for a drink of water then try to sleep again, assuming I can breath with the sinus thing - lol. With all this stuff going on, I'm still thrilled that I don't smoke any longer. I'm pretty sure this will all settle down at some point. I'm willing to put up with some discomfort for a longer, healthier life! -
I don't know about you but my first month seemed like a year in normal time. After that, time passed as normal more or less but that first month was never ending lol :)

Weird things seem to manifest during our quit. Some of them are on an individual basis from person to person. Seems to be no rhyme nor reason to it. Just goes to show how this addiction affects every aspect of our being.

You've clearly been "bakonized":!!!

Boy oh boy, for 18 days in, you've really done your homework PS! Your experiences to date so remind me of my own. I think you'll do just fine and yes, the support of a place like this make a huge difference too. Always nice to communicate with others that are going through the same life experience as you :)

Everything you said sounds exactly right - the way most of us feel in the early part of our quit. That first week is something I know I never want to go through again. That thought alone kept me on the straight and narrow for the rest of the first month. I still don't consider myself having this thing completely licked but it is a lot easier now than it was early on. Just keep your guard up along the way and you'll be fine :)

It makes me sad that I did that everyday for so many years :( Can't take back the past, can only control the future.

Welcome PS :) Wow, your intro is fantastic in that it really does capture the essence of what it takes to quit smoking and say NO to this addiction. I can completely understand your concern about quitting because it would completely change your life. It does that for sure but, for the better. I too quit cold turkey and can tell you that you are through the really difficult part of your quit. There are still challenges ahead for you though so please remain on guard. Life has a nasty habit of throwing things at us suddenly and those are the times your junkie brain will try and lure you back - don't listen!! Freedom awaits you if you just remain resolved to your quit. Stay around and let us know how you're doing. Pledge your NOPE every day with us. I think you've got a real handle on this quitting thing :)
