Ready to gnaw a tree... (234)
Dusty45: My incentives for stopping:
Fear of poor health.
Cost of cigarettes
How much I would be SAVING/Month
Father dying from complications of addictive smoking.
Mother living with chain smoker causing health problems.
The shame of smoking (subtle-subliminal)
Smoking ruled my life. Thoroughly fed up with the addiction.
I would find FREEDOM to live the life I choose.
Not restricted to certain areas to find space to stand and
smoke.
My house smells sweet and wonderful.
No wasted time of my life to do all those 10-15 minute
smoke breaks. (all during the day)
AND, like a few others I made plans to buy a gift for myself
with the money I'd saved (jar money). I went all out and
bought an extravagant television because I wanted one. I
deserved to do something silly when I was over and done with
this.
YOU WILL NEVER REGRET DOING THIS.
IT IS ENTIRELY WORTH IT.
best wishes

druidess6308: any suggestions, anyone? And don't recommend pills, I'm not taking them, I'm wearing the patch, eating baby carrots, drinking lots of water. I put the chips away before I ate the whole bag.
I have phrehinite for detoxification and batswana agate to fight the cravings, and a prayer mala to play with, and a straw that I cut in half to fake it if it gets bad.
It's bad. Day one of not smoking was going great until the janitor that smokes my brand showed up. Now I want to gnaw through a wall. Or climb one.
Thanks...I needed to vent.
We are all very proud of you:bouquetI have phrehinite for detoxification and batswana agate to fight the cravings, and a prayer mala to play with, and a straw that I cut in half to fake it if it gets bad.

I'm still craving on the patch...but mostly I can stay in my zen zone.
Good point about the time...yes, it sure does pass anyway.

mindfful: you may need a higher dose?
I've been on the strongest ones, and craved as much as I am now on the lower dose ones. It's not really the nicotine I crave as much as the smoking. My worst trigger today was having the janitor show up this afternoon that I usually smoke with because she does smoke the same brand and we break together in the afternoons.
So...it's more mental and habit for me than the nicotine. That's what's making me want to gnaw trees.
"This too shall pass."(When a certain someone gets off the road and I start IMing, my hands and mind will be too busy.
That ought to help.)------ This thread is Archived ------
druidess6308: Good for you, LL! OMG...we really do have a club going here!
Thank you. I'm going to make it this time...and it helps a lot to know that I'm not alone.

its kinda like a lightbulb went off in my head,
was smoking 40 per day , not every day ,but most days,
had sore chest , was living to smoke, craved it more and more,
was like what Dusty said, I was absolutely ruled by cigarettes,
its costly over here 7.65 euro a pack of twenty , so my addiction was costing me over a hundred euro a week !
I have wanted to give up for years !!
And Dru ,you never have to smoke another cigarette if you do not want to.
That was the lightbulb moment for me, realising that I was just giving in to my addiction every day of my life ,instead of really deciding enough was enough
My breathing is getting a little better already !!!
Come on you know you can do it

I admire you so much, it has inspired me to buy only a packet today instead of a carton of 200 which I normally do when I run out.
Well, it´s a step in the right direction!
Truly, I hope you do it, and it will inspire other weak minded individuals like me who would love to quit.

Looking forward to day two of my new life.
