We Quit Cigarettes

I am glad your husband will be around, just in case you need medical help with all you are going thru. :hugs It's really important to have someone you can rely on in this type of situation, and for you not to be alone most of the time. Not trying to be a know it all, just an RN who is concerned. :love
Thank you. I feel like I just need to do this by my self. My doctor knows what is going on. Her nurse called today to check on me. I guess they are afraid something will happen to me and they might get sued. So, I'm pretty sure they will call daily. Don't worry about me, please. I plan on sleeping all day tomorrow, I'm so wore out. I feel like I will be able to sleep through the night. I haven't done that in a long, long time!
 
Hope your fam is safe after all of the storms?! My husband and his fam are all from TN, too.
I got off perscription sleeping pills thanks to this thread, some nights are better than others, but the feeling of being free from those nasty chemicals in my body is worth it! Swollen knees gone, amongst other issues. Don't be in fear, have faith that if it's the right thing, you can do it! God bless
That's another one that I don't have anymore, Clonazapam. Helped me with insomnia.
The kids are fine. They live in Jackson, quiet a ways from Nashville. I was really worried though. I talked to them this morning. I've had so many different chemicals in my body over the past 10-15 years, I don't know what to expect. I'm not looking forward to it though. I know I will be in constant pain. And I can't stand that. I'm really worried about it. Keep me in your prayers please? Good night. 😰😰😰😴😴😴💤💤💤
I hope‼️

Win through to freedom! One day you'll look back on this, so much stronger. You'll be able to help others do what you have done. Praying for you!
 
Webby, you are doing an amazing thing!!! You have a tough road ahead of you but I have a feeling you will prevail.

I know you will think I'm crazy (and you may not even care for awhile yet) but as far as the physical pain you feel.... it actually gets better, to varying degrees without the pain medication. A lot of the pain is a game your mind is playing on you. I am NOT saying the pain isn't real, but it lessens with time and sobriety. Honest.

Sweet dreams, wonderful brave lady, and please keep us updated. We are all here for you!!

This goes back to why I waited until 3/3 to start my Chantix. I was having horrible “old lady” symptoms. :lol: :old The night sweats were keeping me awake, making me cranky as all hell, etc etc. My mother had breast cancer, so I do not want to go on hormones. I tried all the “herbal” type stuff and nothing really helped, so my doc told me she had had patients have some success with anti-anxiety meds. Since my moods were a mess too, I decided to try it. Almost a year later, it’s taken me 4 weeks of lessening dosage to wean off that stuff. Tuesday was my last low-dose pill. Now I tingle all over. But I’m getting it out of my system. I’ll deal with the other stuff, I can handle hot flashes, etc. Hopefully my hubby can handle the mood swings! Lol But I’m committed to being free of it all.

Have a great day everyone!
 
Congratulations to all and just WOW for the courage here.

Thank you for the encouragement, you are a sweet lady. But my demons are way bigger than my smoking one, sweet girl. I'm addicted to opioids and Adderall. All prescribed by my doctor. I'm also an alcoholic. I have manic depressive bipolar and the drugs that go with that. THERE, I'VE SAID IT ALL‼😰
I'M ASHAMED OF IT. BUT IT WAS NOT INTENTIONAL AT ALL.
I have been in some major pain for the last ten years. I was diagnosed with bipolar 20 years ago. I take full responsibility for the drinking. So, you see, I'm kind of a mess right now. I have no drugs now. Nothing to drink. I live out in the country and I don't drive. This is what I want. Quit it all cold turkey. That's the only way I can do it. I told my husband to leave. He did. So, that's what's going on with me!

No one wakes up one day and says, "Hey, I think I'll be an addict or alcoholic." It just happens - shame is not deserved. Keep on smoking for now. The demons you are dealing with now are more than most can conquer. I wish you strength - there is another life on the other side of addiction. :hugs Your husband sounds like a good man - do not shut him out completely. Keep coming here. Folks will be your support. Nicotine you can deal with later.
