Posted 15 July 2012 - 05:08 PM Today I have been feeling stressed, overwhelmed. Dropped my kids at a friends house and on the way home was really, really craving a cigarette...drove by several stores and it was all I could do to keep driving until I made it home. I would say that it was the most powerful urge I have had since the first few days to blow my quit. Scared me....I will need to be on my toes for sure. I simply cannot smoke NO MATTER WHAT. Thanks for "listening". ~Jenny

Posted 06 July 2012 - 01:19 AM Just got back from camp. I was worried I would be miserable the entire time because I used to smoke a lot at camp, but it was really not that bad. A few moments of discomfort but basically had a great time with my kids and other extended family. I am fortunate that no one smokes so I did not have that to deal with---just my own thoughts---actually my time with my kids has improved so much since I quit. It makes me sad sometimes when I think of the things I missed due to smoking or thinking about when I was going to smoke again. It was also really awesome to be able to tell my Dad that I quit. He has wanted that for a long time. ~Jenny

Posted 24 June 2012 - 02:02 PM I cannot believe it has been one month already! Not to say the past few weeks were easy, but I can remember looking at the tickers of others the first few days of my quit and thinking anyone with a month or more was sooo very strong! I wanted to be just like that and now I am! I have never really tried to quit smoking before. For 28 years smoking ruled my life. I thought I would never be able to do it and now I wonder why I ever thought that? Just the addiction I guess. I am so proud that I can finally set the example I want to my 2 young daughters who hated my smoking . The encouragement & education I have received from this site have made all the difference in my success. Thank you all for inspiring me on a daily basis I wish you success in your journey to be smoke and nicotine free. ~Jenny

Posted 06 June 2012 - 09:17 PM It has been 13 days since I quit. Using Chantix. I have spent the last 3-4 days crying, sobbing really. Seems like non stop. Went to my doc today and was advised to cut back on the chantix and she put me on Prozac...Anything to stop this crying. On the plus side I had moments today when I did not think of a cigarette. Fleeting, but still... ~Jenny

Are you living my life? My husband is working part time now while he finishes school also. He grooms our cockapoo. He's getting better at it but still...I refuse to get involved.

Posted 09 November 2012 - 02:07 AM My daughter age 9, found a pack of cigs in a drawer today. She was so upset thinking I was smoking again. Broke my heart to see the look on her face. Of course I am not smoking again and had no idea they were there. I told her to dunk them in water and throw them away. It was a good reminder of how much my smoking affected my kids and also a good reminder of why I need to stay quit. ~Jenny

Posted 13 July 2012 - 12:32 AM Today was a really good day. Hardly any craves at all. The 3-4 days prior to that were like one big lonnnnnggg crave. No difference that I can see in today from the other days, but I am grateful for the relief :D . I am also grateful for this board. It helps so much to be able to come here and read your experiences. At one time I truly thought that I could never quit smoking, never even tried. I am still amazed to have found that just was not true! I have quit! and I am proud to be able to say that. It is different getting used to this non-smoking life. I feel a bit lost at times... Even a bit scared but not as scared as I was to die of cancer. :D :D ~Jenny

Posted 01 June 2012 - 11:51 PM 8 days for me and tonight am not doing so well. I keep telling myself it will not always be this hard. I hope that's true. I've been reading posts here since before my quit. I am in awe of you all. ~Jenny

Are these the same neighbors whose house you stormed to use their computer?! lol, just another reason they might be acting "weird" around you little bug.

Awww, I was wondering about you!! Enjoy your time home. We'll miss you!!

I can't get to chat until 9ish. Feel free to start without me :) I'm rushing the kid in getting ready for bed!

Hang in there Amy! It's a roller coaster but every time you face that urge head on and don't smoke the weaker those craves will become. You are doing a wonderful job. You know you're going to have to quit eventually and if you give up the days you have behind you you'll be disappointed. You can do this!!

I've know people like the Sarge as well. I have a friend that quit years ago but if a smoker walks by she takes a deep breath because she loves the smell. I hated the smell even when I smoked!!

I know, it doesn't make sense. I hated smoking. I wanted my fix but I hated it at the same time. It's an abusive relationship.

OMG, I had completely forgot about that. I've had one brand new car my whole life. In the first two weeks of owning it, I threw my ciggy out the window (so I wouldn't get the brand new ash tray dirty) and it flew back in on the back seat. I didn't realize it at first. Huge burn hole and I cried for days. It still makes me feel sick to think about it.

Welcome Gavin and Freeindeed! We look forward to getting to know you. Let us know if you need anything .

OMG, that is too cute! I love my pets like my children. I am especially fond of cats because I love the attitude. It's nice of them to let us live in their world.
