After the Smoke Clears


for 18 år siden 0 506 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
You should see from posts throughout this site that you're hardly alone. I had the blahs when I smoked too; I'm sure you did too. Nicotine isn't exactly "ecstacy", so it never made me feel like dancing and being a "love machine" when I was down, but it did something even if that "something" was just my routine day to day coping....which is gone now. That can be pretty tough on an old guy. It is so complicated and I know you know this from previous posts you've written and responded too so I won't belabor the issue. I think it's amazing that in today's world (at least in Western societies), we're only supposed to be "happy"....all the time. Who ever promised that? Hang in there. Maybe you don't "need" anything. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/18/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 206 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 8,255 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1854 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 33 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 46 [B]Seconds:[/B] 5

Hi Lady - Sorry to be so behind in being here...but know that you have been on my mind this week for some reason and now I know why. So prayers have been shooting up there for you! I'm feeling a little depressed myself these days - not too sure what it's all about - the effects of a husband that is still smoking...weight gain from not smoking...not enough time in the day for myself...blah, blah, blah - is my life changing?? I think so...for the better??? I'm not quite sure... Hope your cruise is filled with FUN, FUN, FUN! I think that they let you hit golf balls off the back so you can practice your swing!!!

Lady The after effects of smoking can take many months to move through. You are not alone in what you feel. There are many out here who are affected by the lingering and varied after effects of addiction to nicotine. Thank You for posting this and for being honest and truthful about what goes on with you. Advice I have little to offer. The VCC the parent company for the Stop Smoking Centre has a sister site called the depression centre they are located on the internet [url=http://www.depressioncenter.net/support/]here[/url] . Speak again with your doctor. Practice random acts of kindness, gratitude and love for yourself. I really don't think there is a magic cure for any of what we as human beings feel. Now getting through and living day to day on the other hand is fostered by human contact and a feeling of support. Take my hand, one step at a time. Hold your head up and walk with me on this journey. Hope you feel better soon. Know in your heart, despite what things might seem in a particular moment, that your contribution and your words are important. Thank you for posting and please never think that you should not post, because this is a supportive and non-judgemental place designed to help people through the desperate battle through the addiction to nicotine.

Practice! Practice! Practice! You know how some of us had to "try, try again" to quit smoking before we finally "got it"? Well, I believe it works the same for other bad habits. When you've gotten used to living a certain way it's oh, so easy to fall back into that pattern. Negative thinking is a bad habit. Because it makes us feel depressed. I have read that depression is just anger turned inward. If that's the case, then we're getting mad...AT OURSELVES! Imagine that! Who knows what happened long ago that we're trying to punish ourselves from the inside out? It doesn't really matter anymore, does it? What matters is little by little changing how we think. We CAN and do control what we think. Don't let that negative monster tell you different. I've been trying hard to practice what I preach about positive thinking and it does work. We are what we think we are. If we say we're depressed often enough we'll come to believe it. The same is true for the opposite: If we replace "depressed" with "happy" we might not believe it at first. But if we repeat it to ourselves often enough we eventually accept it as fact. We have to allow ourselves some down times, though, too. Not very many, but we can't beat ourselves up for it. It's just our psyches relaxing and falling back into an old pattern. Just like it's easier or more comfortable to slouch rather than standing/sitting up straight, (Oh, I hear my mother now...) It took us years to get this way; What makes us think we can now change it overnight? You'll be fine cuz your awesome and you know it. Chill, baby: We're all with you! mc [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 8/31/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 377 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,661 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1508 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 36 [B]Hrs:[/B] 17 [B]Mins:[/B] 20 [B]Seconds:[/B] 9

I just look on it as part of the quitting process.. I still get the odd twinge for a fag .. so why wouldnt I get the odd bout of depression because I dont want one ? :p Whats the saying .. better to be depressed occasionally by being a non smoker than depressed all the time being a smoker? hehe..ok not quite but tell me you aint depressed now and if you are ..just remember the breathing excersises ..I know you will forgive me for my cheek :eg: Deep In :8o: Deep out :gasp: Deep In :8o: Deep out :gasp: Take care My Lady [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/7/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 462 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 9,247 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �2217.6 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 76 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 45 [B]Seconds:[/B] 3

Thank you so much Hummy. I really believe that stress just got to me a bit. I totaled my car Labor day weekend. I wasn't seriously hurt but banged up pretty good. I've been dealing with the insurance company about paying it off (they aren't) and looking for a new car and trying to figure out all the finances. The kids are back in school, youth night has started back at church, and I'm still learning a new job. Quit a bit going on but what else is new right? I leave for the cruise on Monday. Six days of no school, no work, no cars, no children, no bills, no banks, nothing but relaxation and fun! It is long over due. I believe the trip will do me a world of good. I know I get so caught up in everything going on around me that I forget to stop and smell the roses along the way. That always gets me in trouble. I have to remember all I have to be thankful for. I am truly blessed. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 7/1/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 440 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 8,813 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1540 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 38 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 1 [B]Seconds:[/B] 22
