graemlins/wave.gif I assume you are talking of not smoking. You are doing great in that department. when I quit smoking I tortured everyone in my family :D & my husband quit at least 14 times before he finally got it whipped. I graemlins/bcbsalute.gif you.

Diana:

I know our group is small,but know that we are here for you. When I quit, this group was just started. We had a fairly large group. I'm not sure how many of the group were successful. I do know that I was am forever grateful to Sandy for starting this group. If I can help just one person quit I am happy. I know since I have been successful after smoking for 41 years, that my sister has quit, her husband, and my 30 year old daughter. This pleases me greatly. Hang in there, it does get easier. It takes determination and a lot of work. Suck that straw if need be. Just don't smoke. You never know who you might influence in a quit.

Hugs to you,
Clara

Thanks, Clara, Cathy and Humbee! You know Clara, you are absolutely right............if only one person is helped it is worth it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so faithful to this forum. When I quit in January of this year, I had 4 months under my belt, and had just made LT, was gaining weight and stupidly picked up a ciggie again. So I have to go through it all over again.......this time I am sticking close to Quitnet and the support over there is great. I am not daring to step on the scale this time, the weight loss will have to wait until I am a little more into my quit.........an excuse I know, but after all, I have to do this quit as if my life depends on it, because it does! I am over goal but I will lose it when it is time. Thank you for your support, buddies!

Take one day at a time. I was lucky, I didn't gain any weight this time. You see I tried a few times and every time I did I gained. Last time I started to smoke just to quit eating, but was I wrong. That wasn't the answer cause I ate just as much and I smoked even more. There are times that I want one but I talk myself out of it cause I am a journal and I ask myself if I want to write something down or do I want to use my bonus points.

Good luck and stick with all of us quitters

Diana:

Someone once told me that if I gained weight and went back to smoking that I would just be a fat smoker. Guess that stayed in my head this time around. Not worth smoking again. About not sleeping. I had to take one Tylenol PM at bedtime at times. Otherwise I would get so overtired that I new I would crash. Try it. If you get a good night sleep you can deal with the cravings better by day.

Hugs,
Clara

Add my graemlins/bcbsalute.gif I think it is wonderful that you are quiting again. It actually took me quite a few times, 2 of which were for a few months. But I finally kicked it, and you will too! Great job buddy :D

[Bunnie2464]

Hi Diana,
graemlins/thumbup.gif My stats are about the same as yours. Right now I am at 22 days, 3 hours, 44 minutes and 22 seconds smoke free. I am so happy, this is is the longest that I have been. My last quit lasted 21 days and I picked up one on new years eve 2 years ago and didn't really try again until now. KTQ, it is worth it.
