We Quit Cigarettes

[sourland]

I was going to ask you the same question! I'm just ...ok. I'm still having a hard time. They say this shit can go on for3-6 mos. I ain't gonna make it!

Oh, you are gonna make it - your punishment is not complete.

How do you know they left if you 'ignored' them

I don't know if they have left. I can see that many of their posts have been deleted. I no longer see this member is on your ignore list or something to that effect.

My mother told me to stay away from girls. She said they were nothing but trouble.

Well, she was correct in that.

I'm trying to think of something my parents told me to stay away from. Seem to be drawing a blank.

I remember my dad being furious when he caught me with cigarettes at 15. His furor only lasted so long, as he plenty knew where I'd picked up the habit. He still blames my Grandma for his smoking, but I don't blame my parents. They may be at fault for me starting, but they can't be held accountable for the things we choose to do as adults.

You can do it, Webby. Are some parts getting better and others worse? How are you sleeping? Are you getting any exercise and sunshine?? I worry about you, lady. We all believe in you.

I'm doing pretty good It's all about perspective, I guess. Had 6 Friday, 9 Saturday, a couple drags Sunday, 13 yesterday haha. In my defense, I spent most of yesterday reading the news! On my worst day I'm still 10 or so less than I was regularly smoking. For me, that's a win.

You guys are all doing far better than I and I'm following along and cheering you on, even if I don't post much.

Well, I'm smoking 11/2 packs a day! I'll work on the smoking when all the other stuff quits bothering me! I wish some of you would do a little research on bipolar and ADHD. I feel alone. I don't know if any of you know about those two things? And the drugs that help them? I'm not talking to just you. I'm talking in general. Meg you have been so helpful. You and ShannonR and Urs, and sour, and all of you. I love you all!

I'm familiar with bipolar and ADHD, but not the meds for them. I have immense respect for you for making it so far.

You have plenty to focus on right now, Webby. Do not overload yourself with too much. The smoking can surely wait until you get through the rest of it. I don't have any experience with ADHD, but I do with bipolar and depression. I wish you could get into a doctor sooner about that particular subject. You aren't currently taking meds for that, are you? There is a gal on here that has spoken pretty openly about her bipolar disorder. She may be a good one to talk to.

Oh Meg, I am so proud of you! That's a big difference . Can you notice that you are feeling the difference? Smelling, breathing, tast, do you feel better?

Hook me up with her. I've never had to go without Meds! It may help to talk to her. Thanks,
Edit: no I quit all Meds at the same time. I am completely drug free! I don't like it. I know I need some of them. I can tell by going back and reading my post here. Some of them don't sound like me at all. And I don't remember weighting them! That scarey

Yup, my whole life...alcoholism too.
Meds have helped during certain catastrophic events, probably kept me alive,
tricky to balance and not like 'oh now everything is wonderful'...
...but long term, not so much, so I learned to keep it mostly curbed myself thru what I learned from some counseling and AA/Alanon.

Thank you, I sorry to say I don't think I will make it much farther. I'm having to much trouble. I can't think , I can't plan or make any decisions. With this virus going on now, I have to make some major decisions! And I just can't.
