  1. There is much wisdom in the above posts! Welcome HolyDooly. Do trust that it will get better. I was a 36 year smoker and I too had a rough go around the two month mark. It was around that time that I truly adopted the just roll with it and whatever it takes mindset. By then I had no desire to smoke, but I had a massive desire to not feel or be so jagged. I did isolate and it helped, baths with epsom salt before bed helped with insomnia, bananas for some reason were like crack and made me feel better (probably the sugar). Exercise is good in whatever form you enjoy, just push yourself to engage in it. Slowly slowly things come together. Also, something you'll read over and over is how, out of the blue, you'll notice something that used to be bothersome is just gone, vanished and you'll think 'when did that happen'. It's pretty great. I do understand it can be frustrating HolyDolly, but I also hope it's validating to hear it's normal stuff. And most importantly, it's temporary. You are doing the most important thing here, right? Kicking an addiction isn't for sissies and you have put some hard days behind you. Keep going!!

  10. Of course it is better to refrain from (or quit) smoking, but there is a time and a place for it. Considering there is a 72 hour maximum hold for an Involuntary Commitment (in the US), introducing such a restriction on people who are in crisis and in need of stabilization is a very misguided idea. One thing at a time will result in more success. IMHO, smoking cessation would best be introduced in an Outpatient setting. That said, I did find the impact on the effectiveness of medication to be an intriguing point.

    Chicks won :) and nope, -21 is not what happens next. Once a team wins, we start at ZERO/0. So your post would be 0 and the next would either be -1 (chick) or 1 (stick). RIa's post is 0 -1

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
