Day 4 and I can't say how helpful finding this support group has been to me. I have said nope to myself so many times throughout the day. Now If I could get rid of my attitude, I mad my family would be much happier.

Hi Jess!  I found these folks about 8 days into my quit and can definitely say I would not have made it without this place.  So glad you have joined us!  Push through any discomfort now and I promise you it will get easier.  Smoking is a non issue for me now.  Has been for a long time.  In the meantime, take it easy on yourself.  You're working hard to rid yourself of a killer addiction.  We can write a note to your family if you need us too.  lol

 

Stick with us and please reach out if you need anything.

Welcome Jess :)  Glad to have you here...After your first couple of weeks, it's about going through situations your first time as a non-smoker.  Please do not hesitate to ever reach out to any of us for support.  On the board or through private messages.  We have all been through what you are going through.  It's gets so much better, I can promise you that.  There is a lot of reading about the addiction and this will help you more than you realize.  When you just need some distractions, head on over to the social boards and play some games with us...new addictions, healthy addictions :)

I am taking Chanix which helps tremendously but my anxiety and uneasiness is what is troubling me and didn't begin until I quit. Wondering if I should ask for an anti anxiety med...or do these emotions ease soon? Any thoughts out there?

Hi, Jess!  Glad you are here.

 

Anxiety and uneasiness seems to be pretty common when quitting....regardless of the method.  How long have you been on Chantix?  If the anxiety gets too scary....check with your doctor.

 

So happy found us ...you can do this!

Hi Jess, nice to cyber meet you :)

 

Congratulations on day 4 - what a wonderful achievement!!

 

Quite a few folks here used Chantix, so I'm sure you will get lots of help in that department :)

 

I'm glad that you found us, and looking forward to getting to know you and watching your quit grow!

 

Are you going to get a picture? A ticker? If you need any help, just shout!

 

Welcome to the family :d

Hey Jess, happy NOPE.

 

Cranky, it really does not last long. Completely normal and a bit individual, but it is a sure sign that you are defeating the addiction.

 

Your body chemistry is up in the air with a lack of nicotine and Chantix, but it will all settle down soon enough.

 

Congratulations on your quit so far, each day gets a tiny bit easier. Well done you!

That is right....cigarettes will not win.  YOU WILL WIN.   

 

Remember to breathe.....4 seconds in-hold 4-exhale 4 .  I am always astounded how Oxygen fixes most everything.  Breathe.

 

 

and we will do the N O P E dance with you.  Every hour, every day, always  N O P E.

 

You are winning, Jess.  You are Free.

 

Love,

 

S

 

p.s.  go outside or get in the shower where you can yell and be THE BIGGEST B I T C H you can imagine.

 

          holler at it all and holler LOUD LOUD LOUD

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.
