Finalquit naps are so great, on a rainy day curling up on the couch with a pillow and blanket ah!

Final Quit, this is a good question to be answered by Duffis...... I'm sure you can dig up one of his posts on this. It does get better or else no one would be able to do it, you're doing it and so are a lot of people on this site, it's a roller coaster experience and it's so rewarding, when the cloud lifts you will realise what a gift you've given yourself. Just hang in there reward yourself often, do breathing exercises, use your coping mechanisms and you'll be fine. IT DOES GET BETTER :)Marie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 120 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,806 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $480 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 15 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 11 [B]Seconds:[/B] 3

Finalquit, If you don't think Zyban is helping you, talk to your physician. He/she will be able to give you something that will or modify what you're currently using. A nap is a great reward! Doesn't matter what it is as long as it helps. Don't worry, these feelings will pass. Nothing worth doing is ever easy. Take a look through our Hall of Fame, see how happy our quitters are now. Keep persevering. Danielle ______________________ The SSC Support Team

final quit - A nap is one of my favorite rewards and coping skills, friend... a nap can be a renewal and healing time, and it's a time to gentle down the energy ... so naps are very healthy - and a very loving way to take care of yourself... Stay in the moment, friend - stop worrying about tomorrow and the future... you have absolutely no control about what comes, BUT you have absolute control in the present moment!! Getting ahead of yourself is giving your power away... Stay grounded, stay in THE moment and have the self-confidence in yourself to know that no matter what comes up - you can and will handle it!! Easy, friend - easy...

Hi final quit - Hang on very tight right now - stay in the moment (don't get ahead of yourself) and more than anything else, wrap yourself in your own gentle compassion right now and be kind to yourself... This Quit journey can be really tough... and it can bring us some challenges and bring up some emotions that have been hiding behind the foggy smoke screen... Make sure to ask your mate for what you need - have the courage to be wiling to be vulnerable (THAT is a given on this Quit journey)... and make sure to reward yourself OFTEN... It's a hell of a journey - and if you can take extra special care of yourself, and allow whatever needs to come up to heal, come up, you will do just fine. Stay close to this site and know there is powerful support right here for you... Quitting for many is an amazing Awakening... and that can bring about some challenges... AND feeling upside down just means that this is a time to create some space in and around you to just BE... One more important thing, final quit - embrace your own humanity right now... Love and Light- Healer [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/5/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 220 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,720 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1023 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 28 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 37 [B]Seconds:[/B] 2

A month in, you say. Well, this is a traditionally low point for a lot of us. I've personally hit spots in my quit where I get lows and all of your other symptoms too. Everyone is different though - we are all an equation of one. The important thing here is that you are quit. Sometimes, even when the going gets smooth for a while, we need to remember it's just a day at a time. Just make it through today. We need to rest at times, too, I think. Rest and regroup. It's all part of our new, more rewarding, life. Hang in there, pal. Be honest in your relationships, share the struggle here - chances are, someone's had similar experiences. Breathe and focus on the goal - and if that seems too far away, focus on micro-goals - like I said, day by day. It's how we all make it - it's the one common denominator. Reward yourself. A month is really a huge milestone. Do acknowledge it. Congratulations and happy trails, pal, and... keep fightin' the good fight - fish :) PS - Sorry I can't specifically answer your question. For me, I hit a lull like you are experiencing right around the same time (30 day mark), it passed, then I hit another somewhere b/w 70 - 90... they snuck up on me, but I'd always recognize them. Again, everyone's different. What helped me cope was: I run, training for a marathon now. I take time for myself - solitude. I treat myself, usually with food items. I haven't really given myself any big rewards yet, but the little ones help too. Good luck and stick around.

Thank you for all your advice. I have to admit that I am very afraid of having these feelings for the next six months! I don't think I could take that! I am already on Zyban, but my feelings is that it's not doing what it's supposed to. I did miss my morning pill yesterday, maybe that's why I was so depressed yesterday? So far so good today, but it's still early. Yesterday I rewarded myself with a nap. I know, it's not the most healthy choice (I could have exercised or took my dog for a walk) but it did help. Maybe today I'll buy something. Thanks again.

This may be a very generalized question with possibly no correct answer. But I am hoping someone can give me an idea of how long my life will seem upside down? I am very irritable, depressed, I have no attention span lately and I'm feeling generally unorganized and unhappy. This is causing strain in my relationships and if things don't start to improve soon I am not going to have any friends left! I am about a month into my quit and I'm praying that these feelings soon go away. Please tell me they will!

I honestly think it is different for everyone. I am on day 35 and I still have bad days but all in all everything seems to be better than before the quit. Just take it day by day and remember why you are doing this.

Final, This is normal and will pass. You have to help it along, changing your routines and quitting are big steps and things will be different. Take the time to introduce relaxation techniques and some sort of exercise into your new routine. This can help you ease into your day and give you more energy. Always check with your doctor to rule out anything medical. Your doctor can come up with a plan that will work with you to get you back on track. Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
