We Quit Cigarettes

[FortCluck]

Ok...on my errands was to pick up a carton of cigarettes.....they went up again.

I am joining the journey. This open pack is my last pack.
I will be going from 30 a day to zero. God help us all.

I will use the "put the $ that would have gone to smokes up and use it for something better" idea.

I want a new stove. That will be my first goal.

Whoop whoop... This thread is kicking some serious behind!!!! You got this!

I am so proud of everyone CHOOSING to quit and in support of Kiki... This is the greatest thread ever!

I have turned into a f ing crybaby.
I hope it goes away soon.

I got like this after kids. I cry easily and it pisses me off so much. Some days I don't even know what I'm crying about.

 

[FortCluck]

It will. I hate crying. Gives me a damn headache. Better than feeling numb though.

Being emotionally absent I heard is awful. Plus it destroys lots of relationships.

I'm glad we can all cry...

Maybe you have some sort of hormone imbalance or something? That can cause weepiness/crying sometimes and/or a vitamin B deficiency.

100% agreed!!!

Kiki was unsure about creating this thread and now we have what... 3 or 4 people quitting with her! VICTORY

Do you have Chantix?
Can you get a script for it?

I did Chantix in the past and it worked wonderfully. Then life happened. I wasn’t really committed and just let it do it’s thing. I don’t think I ever mentally quit and started later thinking how easy I had quit before.

I’ve failed in the past because most of my friends at a minimum casually smoke. I’m married to a smoker. We have always been child less and the place everyone comes to... and smokes for the weekend.

I use all sorts of “I’ll quit by” moments in my head, especially when I had a kid. That alone has become such an extreme force of anxiety in my life that I have to have a change. That, and having a kid makes you think differently. My husband and I both think it’s time and I’m going first because my anxiety over the whole thing is through the roof and I’m looking forward to easing that more than I’ll “miss” smoking. He is going to start Chantix soon.

I love and appreciate that you made this thread for accountability and support because it is an integral part of quitting that I have not ever taken advantage of for myself. I will continue to check in on you with this as long as you want check ins. I’m happy this journey coincides for both of us and I am sending lots of positive energy.

do you have plans over the next couple of days that take you away from your regular patterns? I do envision the moments that I had set in my schedule that were so routine based when I would smoke, like during a toddler nap, that will be the hardest over the first few days.

I’m quitting on Saturday. We have some of our non smoking friends coming over so my entire pattern will be disrupted.

I eat a lot of vitamin b. I sprinkle nutritional yeast on everything

This song has got me through a lot. Even through my friend passing away last year.
