Sweety....you are such a wonderful person!!! Even though you say you can't type English well, I understand exactly what you are saying!!!!  There are not many people in our world who can look at others and see goodness, most folks point out the bad or negative in someone. I love what you say and I feel you are a person of her word. I want to give you a HUG!!!! 
LASSIE~~~ you are doing so well!! I can't believe it--I say this not to hurt you, only because I am a smoker and KNOW HOW DAMN HARD IT IS TO QUIT!! Gosh I'm nervous--I can't think that I will fail--NO NEGATIVE THOUGHTS!!!
Lassie keep doing whatver you're doing--IT"S WORKING!!!! I'll be glad to be your non-smoking Bud!!! I hope I wasn't alittle preemptive in giving a date. No excuse, but you guys tell me, ok. My last day at work is the 20th and I start school (2 days per week) on the 27th. I'll be looking for a part time job soon and hope to wrok at least 20hours per week.I really don't want to smoke at the school because I'm almost certain no one else does(small classes and school) and it really doesn't go with the flow there. Anywho, my job stress will be gone but I'll have the stress of class and naturally my 14 yo son giving me loving grief! Do you think I should quit?? Sounds lame huh? I dont' think I can do the cutting down thing--I dunno. I'm gonna ask my boyfriend and best girlfriend what they think too. Please you guys give me your input! Should I cut down next week and then quit or just quit?? Sounds silly I know--a grown woman freaking out about quitting smoking!!   That's how addicted I am!!! GO LASSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!-Hugs to you too!!! |

thank you so much!!
For sure you should get ride of smoking!its much better to start a bit earlier.Lassy is doing verry well(think on the last weeks  ),and Im sure you could make it too!You can get evrything what you want,when you just work hard enough to get it...A frind told me that story: There was a young girl,she had a disease(cant remember wich)so she couldnt walk without hobble.One day this girl decidet to run,people called her insane(remember,she couldnt even walk...)she wanted it so hard that she trained the whole day long,evry day...And she became the fastest woman runner of the world...I dont know if she is now,but i love her story  If she could do it,you can too!!! |

 hi,,well i havent smoked a cig since 9-11
 and thats excatly how i feel...boy its hard  i have gone thru some pretty shitty stuff the last few days and still didnt smoke...  but i am using the inhaler. i guess the only thing i can say is ya always seem to fail when ya try to stop.. then ya gotta think  how am i gonna do this and how will i make it thru it. im dyin for one still  .. im pissed all the time. since i dont work, i try to sleep as much as i can.. this is one of the awfulest things i have been thru ever.i had no idea the effect of smoking was. i never tried to quit.i have had panic attacks and everything that comes with it.  .. i just cant believe its been days now. i think if it was just only one day, i would go back to smoking... but now since a few days gone by, i dont want to blow it and then go thru this feeling again..if i light up now , i will never quit. ill smoke till i die.

Oh gosh Lassie DON"T SMOKE!! You are making it through the toughest part right now!!!!! You are a strong woman!!! I know you can do it!! Gosh I wish I could say the same thing about myself..why do I let the damn cigs have so much power???
Lassie you are really inspiring!! Thank you for being honest and forthright. No matter the outcome (hopefully positive) I will always admire you for putting down those horrible, nasty cigs. Keep taking it one day at a time, you can beat this!! Gosh I hope I can too!!! I feel scared to death--so weird. |

yeah, its tough and rough going.and i dont want to scare you. ya have to try and try. im getting sick already.. the shits and all.  i really cant believe i have done this.  i cry almost daily.being at home disabled with cronic pain does not help either.try the gum when you decide to try to stop. ya need something to help. and this is pretty much all i think about is having one.
 try using a cut straw and pretend its a cig. anything.and smoke your ass off the last night you decide to quit.i am so bitchy all the time. thank god my friend lets me scream at her and swear.tomorrow will be five days. you can email me and bitch all ya want.. i will understand and bitch too. ill be waiting

| Ok I'm calling the doc tomorrow and ask about the "puffer" thing you use Lassie. I hate the idea of inhaling some chemical..yea WTH am I thinking,,, I smoke for God sake. I'm abit weird/anal when it comes to taking meds. Can't do the patch because I have a funky heartbeat and doc really doesn't want me to use it. Can't use the gum cause I have TMJ (gosh that sucks when it flairs up!!). I've tried Wellbutrin but that made me very nauseas..so it's the inhaler or nothing. I cant' stand coughing anymore!!! I friggin hate it!! Talk soon and Kuddos to you Lassie for making it another day!!! |

hi, it's called the nicotrol inhaler. if your insurance does not cover it , its about 150.00 for a box of 148 cartridges. some of these ladies spend that much and more on there skin. and most of the products dont work !!! but if ya cant get em, cut a straw and use it like a smoke.there are things you can suck on like hard candy to. they sell it at walgreens or over the counter. but you sound like a heavy smoker like me and YOU WILL NEED SOMETHING IN YOUR HANDS.. like the straw. just hold it and puff on that. and the lozenges will help too.they cost about what the gum cost.i cant believe this is gonna be day 6 already. i wasnt as crazy on the 5th day.gosh i hope it works for ya.start cutting down on the smokes now.after work just put so many out for the night.cuz it seems your having a hard time at work with your boss.start your planning now.ya got 5 or so days to go.thats what i did. instead of buying a carton or a couple a packs at a time just buy one pack. and baby that pack like it was your last ... all you can do is try.the smoke smell is in all my clothes still that was in my closet ! gosh all i can tell ya is to start now.its not going to be easy.  i went out and bought me a bottle of chanel with most of the money i saved... keep intouch.bye

YEAH LASSIE!!!! CONGRATULATIONS 
Thanks for the tips earlier too! I'm going to get these filters from Walgreens that help you taper off the cigs. Waiting on a call back from the nurse at doctors office for the puffer thing(I'm hoping that I don't have to make an appt. to see him, just more $$$). I still haven't picked a formal stop smoking date, but I imagine it will be within a month. I've done the filter thing before and it gets hard around week 3-- I may just go to the puffer thing at that point. We'll keep you all posted. Thanks so much for the req's and encouragement!! So proud of you Lassie for going 1 week--keep it up!!! You sound so much calmer too! |
