 Hi there, Sunflower...I applaud ALL of you who've made this HUGE leap forward toward better health & empowerment. I'm also smoke-free, for 22 days now...just found this site---wish I'd seen it 2 weeks ago. Black licorice sounds good, I've been soooo hungry since quitting smoking...I wonder how long until the brains'neurotransmitters entirely re-balance? Anyone read any research on that? I could complain about a lot of moodiness; but you all KNOW what the struggles are..so remember I DO understand, also, & I hope each of you are being really nice to yourselves & extra patient during this time of transition. I didn't know the cold-turkey method would create this much emotional upheaval, though. whoops! I'll advise others ( if asked) to consider a safer plan. Hugs to All Atta-Girls! Atta-Boys! Ok, remember everyone to keep the quit and post before you puff! Are there any other quitters???  Peace! |

I quit November 15, along with my husband. The first week was horrible, and he gained 10 pounds while I gained about 7 pounds (and I'm already overweight so that was horrible). Most of the time now I forget that I used to smoke, but when I pass an ashtry or find a lighter (we've lost like a million of them in the house LOL), I get a really strong urge to smoke. I will say, though, that I was very proud of myself when I went out to sing karaoke and drink beer with some friends last weekend that I didn't give in, even though they were offering me cigarettes. (They didn't know that I had quit, because I didn't want people making a big deal about it, and what if I fail?)
Will this be a struggle forever? I've quit each time I've discovered I was pregnant, but after the babies arrived, I would start smoking again. I'm afraid I'll just give in eventually. __________________ Navygrrl Married for 2 years to my Prince Charming Mother of Three Wonderful Children Diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Bipolar II Currently taking Trazodone and Lamictal My Blog |

Having slipped months ago,
I wanted to come back and let you know, I'm back on track. This is not an easy road we take. But, it's one we can follow. So, today, I am 8 hours, 49 minutes and 26 seconds nicotine free once more. That means 11 cigarettes not smoked, saving $3.31. Life saved: 55 minutes. It's a start! And remember, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Peace! __________________ IMAGINE |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
