Don’t ever be sorry for posting Susie!! It helps you, it helps us understand you, it just helps all around lol. my parents both smoked, inside, so I had secondhand smoke from a baby up until I moved out at 19 and by then I was smoking too. I never had problems with breathing stuff until by 30s (even that’s young though), but I did develop all sorts of health stuff in my 20s that I now know is related to smoking…high bp, high sugar, bad reflux, and list goes on. With your triggers you def have them but prob don’t notice. It may help u write them down almost like a food journal but w cigs. I’m sorry but I was smiling when u listed off your withdrawals bc I literally had the same exact ones. I cried so much my eyes were swollen for months I’m not kidding . I even was having so much trouble breathing and you’d think that gets better after u stop right, we’ll, not for me at first. (Now I’m good but still short of breath sometimes). Believe it or not, you’re doing great already bc the want to quit is a great first step. You can do it gf we’re cheering for ya

You’re a smart and poetic cookie, Denali!

Don’t be hard on yourself Susie It happens and like Denali said it’s a process. Denali you also had an amazing post, I forget where, about the shame we cast on ourselves with struggling to quit, its really a beautiful post/read, I’ll try to find it for you Susie. But gf don’t stop trying, I too had problems w breathing started when I was 37. It just sucks and within hours your body starts repairs on itself and life becomes different - way way better different. We’re here for u either way

I was just about to post the next number before this but Reci you beat me to it but still wanted to put here it made me think of you Susie!!

You’re doing amazing thing Susie!!! It’s going to suck for sure right now. I’m so sorry you’re feeling sad. Let it out- cry, punch, curse, eat, trash tv, etc. whatever you have to do to get it out. It will get better soon…I promise!!! Keep letting each crave pass, and you can say, I really want a cig, I’m just not going to have one. Bc that’s the truth, or was in my case lol. 2 days is hugeeeee dude!! Also i know it feels like the things you’re experiencing is unique, and quite literally everyone here had those same feelings so don’t feel bad explaining how you feel, we related big time! I literally almost put my fruit bowl through my kitchen window early on. I even think I wrote about it here lol. You’re a rockstar gf!!
