Hey my many friends. I thought I would catch your eye with this heading as I need to tell you all something that is now going to affect my life forever. As of nine o'clock tonight I had my last and final cig. Once again I am back on the wagon and hope that this is the one that finally breaks me of this nasty habit.

Anyway.....just wanted to let you know and if I yell, be rude or grouch at any of you I appologize in advance.

Hugsssssssssss

I do wish you all the Luck in the world! I know first hand how hard it can be! At one time in my life I smoked a couple of packs a day, but that was a long long time ago, I quit cold turkey, but I never would say I quit smoking till after I went a full year without having one! Several years later I took up dipping, and believe it or not that was harder to quit than smoking was, "just a pinch between the cheek and gum" you are main lining nicotine right through your gums into your blood system. after a few years I finally quit that too! Just take one day at a time! And I for one will support you every step of the way!

Good Luck to You and I do wish you success!

Scarred,
Good for you!! You go girl!! I know how hard it is, too. So vent away. And we'll know if you're a bit irritable now and then!

Like White Beard said, one day at a time. That's how I did it. Even went to some 12 step meetings. I know there are some good online support groups to help with quitting, too, but you know we're here 24/7.

Hugs!

Scarred,
I'm up with a "tummy ache". Too many M&M's! But yes, get some help - patches or something. It's a touch drug that nicotene monster. I've talked about it before. So cold turkey may be too much. Don't feel bad about needing patches or something to help you with withdrawals.

It's tough, but you can do it!

Scarred, I really hope you can do it! It's the hardest thing to beat! I made it 3 weeks and fell into a depression, instaed of climbing out, I smoked myself out. I'm so weak!!! But I am going to try again soon. I have to find the right time and phych myself up! YOU CAN DO IT!!!! I'm praying for you!

Scarred,

I think it is so fantastic that you are quitting!  PA had some good advice for you about getting patches or something to help you with the nicotine cravings.  Don't worry about getting all hostile & such.  I think that's okay to be like that for a little while.  I've never smoked, but I remember when I had to give up caffeine.  Oh man, I nearly went crazy.  I was drinking 16 cups of coffee a day (I love the taste & smell of coffee -- there's nothing better) and had to quit cold turkey for medical reasons.  I was shaking, had horrible migraines, couldn't sleep, was nauseaous & irritable pretty much 24/7 for the first 8-12 weeks.  I was almost convinced I couldn't even survive it, but I made it.  I know nicotine is a lot harder to quit, but I BELIEVE IN YOU!  I really do!!  Keep up the great work & keep the end goal in sight -- whatever it takes to get there.

well wishes -----> Scarred :)
