Hang in there. Get tough, get mad, get anything but smoking!! You must get through hell week, and it ain't easy. YOU just have to do it. For me the thought of "this is my choice" really helped me. Sure you can smoke, but you have to choose not to one minute at a time. Stay strong, you can do this.

Barbara. Spirit, fire (in the belly) and the uncontrollable urge to swear. Sounds familiar. Try directing your anger at the cigarete companies, the government, the proverbial nicodemon and not at your past inability to quit. My opinion, we are more receptive when we are not taking the anger out on ourselves. Glad that you have found the SSC and glad you are here. Keep posting and letting us know how you are doing. Let it rip! Keep up your great quit. I too enjoyed how you began, great story.

No, Barbara, it hasn't. Some ups and downs, of course, but all in all it's been pretty easy. I think that was mostly due to my attitude when I went into it - I was so sick of smoking I'd reached the point were quitting was my only option. There have been the occasional time when I had "romantic" thoughts about smoking and sometimes wished I could go back to it (note to all: thoughts, not craves). I'll be honest with you and tell you that there have sometimes been times I've felt rather annoyed and cheated that I couldn't have just one. But that is not a choice I will make. It's a junkie lie my addicted brain is telling me in order to get it's fix. It isn't nicotine that chunk of grey matter is wanting, it's dopamine. So I find some other "rush", like exercise or playing the drums or punching it if I'm driving my wife's car (don't tell her :8o:). I'm really glad to see you back, Barbara. Keep up the good quit. :) Shevie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/23/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 470 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 9,414 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1786 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 87 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 5 [B]Seconds:[/B] 15

Hi, Barbara. "...on edge...", "...new line of swear words...", "...don't reall give a ____." Hmmmmm. Sounds like you just quit smoking. :) So you quit a few times before and it never permenantly stuck. Over and done with. You're here, you're quit again, let's make this one the last one. (you really don't like doing this, do you? :p) I like the way you started it, in front of your coworkers to hold yourself accountable. That was a great step. Stay close, read much, post often. Learn all you can about quitting (there have been great strides made in the last few years). Let us know how you're doing and if we can help. Keep up the good quit, Barbara. :) Shevie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/23/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 470 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 9,413 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1786 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 87 [B]Hrs:[/B] 17 [B]Mins:[/B] 52 [B]Seconds:[/B] 40

ok. today is my first day. i put a patch on 3 1/2 hours ago. i was reluctant to use the patch, but i am willing to try anything. i had quit in 1988 and started again in 2002. not sure what number i am on in trying to stop, maybe 5 or 6. i quit cold turkey in 1988 with no problems, just put out my cigarette and never touched one again until 2002. not the same now, of course i am older but obviously not smarter. so, here i am. i feel good about my decision. i am a bit angry at my past inability to quit. i am the director of a non-profit social service agency and for luck or support i put my patch on in front of my staff at work. we end all of our weekly staff meetings with a positive, something we are thankful for, and when my turn came i stood up and put on the patch. thank you for listening and i appreciate whatever support you may allow me to borrow from you. barbara

afternoon all you sscer's first of all thanks to everyone here. i am working on day 4. i have my 4th patch on and i am hanging in there. day 1 was euphoric, day 2 i did not sit down, day three was very difficult with lots of wandering around aimlessly talking constantly (even when i was alone which was most productive) and yesterday the horns came out !! i was very crabby, but quiet. i am feeling better today physically but mentally very much on edge - i have a new line of swear words on the tip of my tongue that are screaming to come out - some have. oh well. i don't really give a ----. i am determined. we can do this. thanks again everyone. barbara
