THANK YOU GUYS.....sorry kinda avoiding the forums right now

I need a drink

(((Kim))) I was thinking that would be part of it...

that I was avoiding the threads today????

that you would avoid them at some point b/c the crankiness comes in.. Believe me I've tried quitting and I know what you're going through

lol yep...you guessed it Joy. I did have one earlier today when I did leave. Guess I'm still doing OK....1 smoke compared to a pack and no drinking??? I'm doing pretty good

That's very good.. The drinking will make you want to smoke...

Joy...if you drink enough...you pass out



and actually the only time I HAVE to smoke when drinking is at the bar or at a party....so I'm still good...

then you'll do fine...

Aw geez Rose, good luck to you with that. Hope ya can do it!
I have tried and tried.. hang in there.

after quitting smoking, I'll have to start AA meetings from drinking to get over the nicotine

Good luck Rose!!

thank you Mitch

and thank you lilbug and all my friends for well wishes!!!!!

thank you hon. the last time I quit cold turkey...it was easy. I had morning sickness and realized I was pregnant. I don't really want to use THAT stop smoking method again

You got this Rose I have faith and believe that you can! GOOD LUCK

thank you Kyle. I hope all is well with you hon. I got my bag of sunflower seeds when I get cravings....so I'm good for now

good luck and try not to give in

I quit when I was 19 and I signed up to the Army. It took me a few weeks and short rushes of cravings did come back time to time, but they won't last longer than 4-5 minutes. I didn't smoke again until I was 27, and due to an injury on my ankle and specific circumstances and happenings in the Army made me start it again. (they really pissed me off) I'll be quitting soon too..it's just getting too damn expensive.

All that i can say is, that cravings happen frequently a few days on, but they become less and less. If you ignore that 5 mins. of the devil's call to smoke , those rushes will happen less and less frequently and eventually go away.

Don't give into the cravings. Work through them. You can do it!

Yellowrose.. i gave up women ,drinkin,smokin,last night ,it was the worst 15 minutes of my life.

actually i applaud you for taking this step it is a worthy endevour and harder than HeII to do i admire you for giving it the time to do it..things will smell better not to mention food tasting better.
and the sunflower seeds are a good substitute they work very well.good luck

Actually, she'll probably need someone who will listen to her b!t¢h, not the other way around ...

Anyway, Kim, I know you can do this ... just remember that when life gets like this , don't give in to the temptation to reach for a smoke, and you'll kick this thing in no time!
