Go easy on yourself Paula. Some people may feel settled at two months but I sure didn’t. I felt out of my skin, elated, angry, calm.. all over the place. I’m so proud of you. Two months is phenomenal and your coming up on three, then passing your longest quit and getting the overwhelming benefits of relief and calm most of the time. Stay with this and with us.

At first I thought, "ah poor Paula, still hanging on by the skin of her teeth". Then I thought, "isn’t hanging on by the skin of your teeth better than dying of lung cancer or emphysema?" It must be, although it seems to not be. I hear you, girl. It’s tough. I still have black days and then have days when I go around singing show tunes to the boys. My dh got a new job and will be away 2 weeks out of every month, and I quit my job, so I’ll be home FT with the boys starting Monday. I hope things are turning around. I hate to read posts where people have gone back to smoking after a long quit, like Red Robin, but all I can do is try to learn something from it. WTG on 2M, Paula – it couldn’t have happened to a nicer Kiwi! Willene 8M4W

I am gonna say the same thing to you that I just said to GX. You are so worth the struggle and the fight. Do not give in. Hang in and hang on and hang out here and do whatever it is you gotta do, to not light up a smoke. No matter what. Thats the first thing you do, is you do not smoke, no matter what. The awful ugly days will pass and you will be better for it and stronger in your quit too. You and GX are both doing great, even if it doesnt always feel that way!!!! Keep on keeping on!!!!

Hey Paula! Hang on. (Geeze – there’s two ’60’s songs) Average is a good thing. Average is normal. Normal means not smoking. (Hey, we’re not born with a butt between our lips … unless we’re transverse … ignore me – I could carry that on ad infinitum) There *is* something out there that makes it work for you. I found mine today. It was the mental image of 1000+ cigashits that I would have smoked had I chosen to. As Rosie says … read and post, post and read … just don’t smoke. Big hugs on ya, P. Cigs not smoked: 1036

If I can make it. Stupid junkie thinking and stress. The thought of smoking, however, is so unpleasant to me that it is all just that: junkie thinking. I’ve been doing this quit CT as the fucking patch kept falling off the first few days, so I just didn’t bother with it after that. I’ll make it, but it is making my life a real pain right now.

If I can make it. Stupid junkie thinking and stress. The thought of smoking, however, is so unpleasant to me that it is all just that: junkie thinking. I’ve been doing this quit CT as the fucking patch kept falling off the first few days, so I just didn’t bother with it after that. I’ll make it, but it is making my life a real pain right now.

Well…I wasn’t gonna post this, but Susan did it already Kinda hanging on by the skin of my teeth…this quit has never really settled into a pattern. I’ve had good days and then hell days. Happy days then pitch black awful days. Right now…it’s all pretty average. But I am hanging on.

Hey Paula! Hang on. (Geeze – there’s two ’60’s songs) Average is a good thing. Average is normal. Normal means not smoking. (Hey, we’re not born with a butt between our lips … unless we’re transverse … ignore me – I could carry that on ad infinitum) There *is* something out there that makes it work for you. I found mine today. It was the mental image of 1000+ cigashits that I would have smoked had I chosen to. As Rosie says … read and post, post and read … just don’t smoke. Big hugs on ya, P. Cigs not smoked: 1036

I am gonna say the same thing to you that I just said to GX. You are so worth the struggle and the fight. Do not give in. Hang in and hang on and hang out here and do whatever it is you gotta do, to not light up a smoke. No matter what. Thats the first thing you do, is you do not smoke, no matter what. The awful ugly days will pass and you will be better for it and stronger in your quit too. You and GX are both doing great, even if it doesnt always feel that way!!!! Keep on keeping on!!!!

At first I thought, "ah poor Paula, still hanging on by the skin of her teeth". Then I thought, "isn’t hanging on by the skin of your teeth better than dying of lung cancer or emphysema?" It must be, although it seems to not be. I hear you, girl. It’s tough. I still have black days and then have days when I go around singing show tunes to the boys. My dh got a new job and will be away 2 weeks out of every month, and I quit my job, so I’ll be home FT with the boys starting Monday. I hope things are turning around. I hate to read posts where people have gone back to smoking after a long quit, like Red Robin, but all I can do is try to learn something from it.

Go easy on yourself Paula. Some people may feel settled at two months but I sure didn’t. I felt out of my skin, elated, angry, calm.. all over the place. I’m so proud of you. Two months is phenomenal and your coming up on three, then passing your longest quit and getting the overwhelming benefits of relief and calm most of the time. Stay with this and with us.
