We Quit Cigarettes

[The Farmers' Daughter]

I was prescribed that once and don't know if my cravings went down because I think was temporarily insane. I never felt ( mentally ) so detached and unstable. It was actually scary. It affects everyone different I know but Wellbutrin is something to be careful with

It made me violent. Physically & mentally.

Wellbutrin did the exact same thing to me @The Farmers' Daughter It was scary, and it didn't help my smoking in any way shape or form.

I haven't read much so forgive me if it's already been said...

99% of smoking addiction is not the actual nicotine, it's psychological. That's the toughest part of all. Battling your own brain.

Alan Carr wrote a book that a lot of people have found helpful. I think it's just called "Quitting smoking ". I was in the middle of reading it, when one morning I picked up a cigarette and said yuck. Never craved one and never missed them. Really weird in my opinion. Then, 4 years later, I was at my mother's house and subconsciously picked up a smoke. 5 years later....

Hang in there hon.

I'm really proud of you @Kiki for beginning the process! Thank you for alerting me of your thread. This is an inspiration to others too.
I'll go back and read thru to catch up.
My father was a chain smoker around my mother and us children. Mom died of lung cancer....never smoked a day in her life. My younger brother and sister both smoke and have battled it for years.
You stick with it!

I'm wishing you luck & all the strength you can find! You are a bad ass & you got this!!! If possible
go places & do things where you can't smoke, movies, libraries, take a class, visit people, take a book out to your coop & read to your chickens. Once again, good luck to you

Yup

Looks like a good one!
