I made it my first day but man was it hard at one point my friend came up with the nicorette gum I was ready to cave I was going cold turkey the longest time through the day and did alright but then I had this craving around 4:00 pm that would not go away. I really enjoyed smoking so I have a really hard time getting it out of my head. Anyway the gum helped alot I haven't use anymore since I didn't really feel I needed it I am only doing it when I get really bad cravings. Like I did at that time I was ready to cave I cannot believe it, I was just going to go out and get a cigarette and smoke it. This is so frustrating that this is what it has come to with me I cannot believe how much I got addicted to it and how much I liked and want it! I know I am going to feel better I quit before when I was pregnant and I didn't think anything of it I stopped immediatly and I was done. It is a shame I don't care about myself as much to just quit and not think about it again. My children were more important. Anyway that is a given.
I am quitting for myself but I am also doing it for my kids I am explaining to them whenever I get a bad craving or like last night when I was ready to cave I tell them this is why you don't even want to pick it up it is so bad for you, you don't want to go through this you don't start it and you won't have to quit it. I really hope they see and understand what I am going through where they know it is not even worth starting because it is so hard to stop!
Well I am done babbling for a while I don't even know if I made any sense but I tried.
I have been a smoker for 20 years I quit 2 times in the past 10 and both of them were when I wanted to get pregnant with my son who is going to be 9 in Oct. and then I started up again 16 months later after he was born. Then I quit in 2003 when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. I quit for 4 years and decided I could smoke for one weekend while at a wedding and I haven't stopped since. Well my 2 friends and I are quitting together. I just cannot ever pick one up again!
