Hello. My name is Barb, and I'm a nicotine addict
beacon replied to babs609's topic in Introductions & About Us
Wow! Today I was thinking about you as I have gained a ton and really I am having trouble closing my mouth. Plus it seems like when I do diet and exercise after I quit smoking the scales do not move. Nonsmoking? Menopause? More food? Any way I know you had gained weight after you quit but you decided to lose it and get fit. You have done a great job! So I think i can use you like a model? Any tips? -

Mike remember how you helped me quit. In between the numbers game on the other site and posting cats i spent all of my time fighting fighting. How did you make it through last time? What did you do when you were helping me? Does it not work any more? -

You know perhaps that my mom has lung cancer. I have talked about smoking in front of the hospital while she was getting treatment. I knew it was revolting but I did it in shame because I had to as an addict. While I may get cancer one day, God forbid, I have quit now.

Just to chime in. I wonder how many people smoked to deal with emotional issues in some way, started smoking because of issues, etc. Certainly I have had various issues with addictive behaivor of different types over the years including smoking and food. And now with most of the little helpers gone I can struggle. I think this is common

Laura, why do you think you decided to smoke ? Was there anything you can pin point? .....The other day someone checked in here to tell us she had made it to nine months. I was so pleased to hear this because she had relapsed at least twice from what I knew and then started over a few times. I had not heard from her so I had wondered. But she was ok! She started over and won this time. So, you will too. May I suggest : Post every day the pledge. Spend a few minutes each day committing through posting here, reading, or other mindful quitting activities.

Evelyn, three months! You are a nonsmoker now in fact. You have beat the crap out of the demon. It is all maintenance and keeping up with it now just like all of us! Congrats
