Hi Lassie 1234! I'm the one that started this post, and I still haven't made the effort to quit. I found out I was pregnant Aug. 4th and now its time to really get serious about it! There is nothing worse looking than a pregnant woman smoking, and everytime I light up I think about my little baby growing inside of me and getting all that crap! Its a terrible * spam alert *, you have to get really tough to handle the craves at times!
I am going to join you soon, in the meantime hang in there, there our awesome support sites likewww.quitnet.com, they have excellent forums that would be very helpful for you! I know this is hard, been there before, quit 6 months one time and blew it over having a couple beers, this time I can't drink so I might come easier!
Wishing you well, and stay focused on your quit, it does get better with time! |

well congrats  i wish someone would leave a little baby at my door  .i must confess.
 i smoked while i was pregnant.and yes he was a premie.but he is 16 and 6'2 now.and i still have guilt over that.my * spam alert * was that strong.
 ahhhhhhh. well today it just as hard... i dont want some support group  JUST YOU GUYS 
i cant go and explain this whole ordeal again. i feel like i know all of you and feel comfortable talking and bitching.. ill probably get kicked out of here soon. ms. M on the skin fourm wrote me and i think is getting ready to kick me off i guess. so if ya dont see my name for awhile thats why.after that PM i got from katee , that just blew my mind.have a good one.cuz im not and talk to ya soon

 im just trying breathing right now....im still on the puffer. i did smoke a cig..just one to get it out of my system
 and it did help. it did taste kinda nasty.im eating like a pig.. and i just lost 25 lbs.  but im sure ill gain it back now  its just so hard because im in the house all day. and im not going to clean all day.i have cronic back and neck pain so i just rather lounge. im alittle less bitchy. but i think that having the cig's in the house is making me feel better. dont ask why im not smoking them. i could care less if they did. i would really miss you guys though.i had a bad day........damn ! this is all a nightmare with the smoking.i knew it was going to be hard but this is beyond hard. i just cant wait for school to start up again. ill be home alone  thx for asking.keep it up.

Hi Lassie and Moosette,
Forgive my ignorance I haven't figured out how to quote people properly. 
Moosette, I know the day will come where you will give up those darn smokes,whether for yourself or for the baby. Pick a date and let me know (if you'd like), maybe I'll join ya in not smoking!! God help me! For the record, I smoked during my pregnancy and thankfully my son was full term and a very healthy weight. My docs did give me a very hard time about it though...the smoking and all. I'm not preaching either which way. G'Luck with everything!!
Lassie,
Koodos to you girl for making it 2 days!!!!! I know you had a "slip", but it seems you're doing better!  Keep it up, I'm routing for ya!! btw. I did quit smoking about 1.5 yrs ago, for like 3 days and I too felt much better knowing my smokes were in a drawer. Kinda like they were my safety net. Weird..but who knows why I felt that way. Hang in there!! |

 blew it. smoking 5 cigs a day.. the dr said i was to stop cigs slowly not cold turkey. but now smoking made my stomache hurt so i dont want to smoke that much. im still using the puffer.(couldnt make it without it.) i feel like i blew it now since i smoked  and you were right about having the pack in the house,even if your not smoking. YOU KNOW THEY ARE THERE. i kinda feel like i let everyone down because i couldnt do it cold turkey. but after smoking a pack or more a day down to about 5-6 cigs and slowly taking one away sound much easier.my boys even said smoke your cigs already.. i was driving them nuts.but im not going backwards. im gonna still do this. and its still hard. |

I have the Allen Carr book as well. I can't seem to finish it though, ...think I'm putting off becoming a non-smoker??  It is a great book, I really had never thought about things the way he describes on how to quit. Very insightful man!
Lassie, even though you smoked a few YOU"RE STILL DOING GREAT!!!! Keep doing the inhaler and can you get outside to walk?? Exercising releases endorphins which helps you feel better!! And remember take it one day at a time!! I think you're doing great..I'd be crowned the wicked w(b)itch of the west if I were not smoking.  Better to be a healthy witch than a dead one though...food for though for me. 
Take Care |

 im really surpised i got this far !!! school starts thursday.. duh.... how dumb. it is getting better. i have to get use to that puffer like you would a cell phone.lololol always have to know where it is. i keep it in my hand all the time. unless i smoke. but i sure cut down on smoking.i have to do it this way. i cant just stop cold turkey. no way im all most positive ill cut the cig's out compleatly soon. and just use the puffer then slowly cut that out.i guess what ever it takes. just like your skin.. certain things work and some dont. so i guess this is going to be my way.the house doesnt smell like smoke to much if at all.i can kinda smell things easier too.well time to start the FACE ROUTINE ttyl

yeah the first was awful.. but its sunday now and smoking a couple of cigs down from a pack and a half seems ok. the nicotrol cartrige inhaler is very help full. its like holding a small cigar and you puff it like a smoke .. it delievers nicotine in a light dose..anyone else attempting to stop ?
