Sounds lame .. but well done!!! I have given up three times. The last time seeming to be ( 6 months) successful. Every single time was as hurtful and as hard and as devastating as before.
9 days is awesome - really!!!! As an ex-smoker who really really wants to smoke I can only say hang in there - it really does get easier with each passing day. Somehow it does!!

that is wonderful you have not smoked. you can get angry at the want if you like. I did all the time for first two to three weeks. I't been 2.5 years of being Smober. Dont give up. I tried many many times. that is what it took for me. to get here. Hang in there it is possible.

</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
mlyn said: Smober </div></font></blockquote><font class="post"> I LOVE IT!!!! As for it getting easier and experiencing the emotions, yes - feel as angry as you want. I had to remind myself that I was mourning a friend. The one friend that was with me, without judgement, whether I was happy, sad, angry, depressed, or any other kind of mood - this friend was with me - no matter what. And then, without warning I decided to let the friend go. When I allowed myself to grieve for this friend, it started to get a little easier. I cried helplessy for many many days but it did get better. First time I gave up was for 5 years. Then in a fit of depression, I started again. Then I gave up (more out of a sense of duty than wanting to) just before my wedding - that lasted just short of a year. I do not recall starting again as it happened whilst I was undergoing ECT. Anyway, 8 months later by MY choice I gave up for the third time. And that is the 6 months (now 7) that I mentioned. I think that I am trying to say that you have done very well. It is very hard - just like any addiction. You have strength!!!! Keep posting - it is a good distraction.

In my case I wasn't successful because I wasn't really ready... my x was trying to force me.
I believe it works only if you're really ready.... if you're not its ok.... you will be at some point, wishing you the best, Patricia xx

Hi King, :P
Keep up the good work! You too, Lily! I quit smoking and the nicotine cravings were the hardest thing in the world for me for the first 3 days. Stay strong!!!

That's awesome, good for you!!.....I wish I could do it, I've been struggling with quitting for the past year...how did you do it, cold turkey, patch, or gum?
I really really want to quit as well. I'm tired of being a slave to the tobacco industry. Good Luck for the future days and cravings, if you've come this far you can keep going!

stupid question on the topic of smoking..
is it possible to smoke too much? i was throwing up all day yesterday after i had a smoke, feeling very light headed and dizzy. would the cigs. have that affect on me if its too much for my body to stand?
