I know that it is tough, but it will all be worth this frustration in the end. I find that if I get up off of the computer and take a walk, tend to chickens, something to occupy my mind, then that helps alot. Here is another one, just to help a little more.

The cocoa tastes different than the coffee... nothing to do with caffeine... for me anyway. Love my soda!

We took a brief nap, I woke up coughing again. Now I'm wheezing & feel so much pressure in my lungs I can't quit the coughing. It feels like I've smoked all day long ANYWAY. So.. I couldn't sleep anymore due to breathing, now I'm cooking some Fricase de Pollo because I'm getting hungry and we have houseguests to feed tonight too.

Played with the chickens, watched some TV... ate a handful of Fruit Loops & 2 handfuls of Cashews. Not overeating yet anyway.

Patch still on... Step 2 working well still, will need to pick up more tomorrow.

Take your regular smoke breaks, but instead of smoking, do a word search or crossword puzzle. Putting the pen to rest on your lips can cure the hand to mouth addiction. Thats why snacking is common for quitting, just resting a pen to your lips will stimulate the same, added bonus, it makes you look deep in thought!

Sorry you guys are going through this rough patch, but it will get easier with time. You will be so proud of yourselves when you can say that you are a non-smoker. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. GO INTO THE LIGHT! Keep busy and distracted. I'm rooting for all of you.

It was TO EASY for me . After smoking for 40 years
dr. put me on Chantix for 3 months and I had NO problems quitting .

I am trying, but I am behaving like a royal b***h. I can't help it. I feel so angry, don't ask me why because I can't explain it.

I am dizzy, have nausea, I can't sit still and yet I can't force myself to get up and DO anything. I tried eating dinner and it tasted awful. I feel like I could just cry with all the frustration.

I took one drag of a cigarette a couple times today but then I just put it out. It just made me more dizzy.

AUUUGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I am not giving up though. I cannot believe I let these darn things affect me so much.

I am fighting, and I am fighting HARD, didn't know this thread was here, just logged onto BYC as a distraction, I swear I am going to roll & smoke DH's Copenhagen... Was a "Marlboro Girl" for a LOT of years, quit, but have been smoking "clove" cigs for months... not as much nicotine but holy cow the mental addiction is just NUTS... NOT the best time for me to decide to quit; I have a surgery that I am VERY nervous about tomorrow, hey can you say "PINK RIBBON", everyone???? Wish me luck & prayers, here's to 2009 being a much HEALTHIER year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luck, love, & prayers to all... Suellen
