I have betrayed all of you, but most of all myself.

I am a fraud and have wasted three days for nothing.

I shouldnt have gone to my friends house :(:(

I'll try again from scratch tomorrow.....

Aww hun...don't beat yourself up! I read something similar about dieting: if you slip up and have a cookie, you have two choices: either continue to pig out and eat more cookies OR realize your slip up and get back on track!

It sounds like you are going to do the latter. Big [HUUUUUUGGGGSSS] to you. We are all here to support and help you xx

hmmm, I read something similar with dieting...

Thanks so much Jen...I will try again...:) Youre a star!

Arent BD and all the rest clever little cookies...a MONTH!!!

Hey don't be so hard on yourself. You managed three days ... you know you want to carry on ... you can start again

You can be disappointed but you are trying this cold turkey, and after the loss of someone very special to you. What you acheived was great and when you start again tomorrow you start knowing three days is possible.

No one is here to judge but to help.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again

***starts warming knuckles***

Three days is at least a start mate. Yeah if you knew you were that vulnerable then maybe shouldn't have gone.

Back on the horse young lady...you've got the right attitude

Really, do tell

I basically work for myself and currently trying to do about 3 hrs a night study after work. It gets a little sterile sitting in the office that long studying so I go to a nice quiet pub for the last hour and suck down a few coldies......good motivator

Left Porch

I went off of the patch yesterday and today, just to see how it felt and the only difference I found in being on the patch and being off is a HUGE increase in my appetite. I literally have consumed double the amount of food I usually do over the last two days. This is good because I am attempting to gain weight, but I'm going to go back on the patch tomorrow, I feel like I'm in dangerous territory when it's not on. Anyway just checkin' in, hope everyones doing well.

*points* YOU were the one I was most worried about, only because you said you'd punch me in the face :eek:

It's all good, no smokes today, not gonna buy any, ive decided to stay away from situations that entail mondo amounts of tobacco

Yay to Left Porch for coming off the patches, and eating is good
But I guess, yeah, if you feel you need to go back on em, do it.

Whatever makes you feel comfortable!

Are you actually beating yourself up!!! Come on Y24. 3 days is awesome under what you are going through with your aunt and a smoker in the house!

When you are ready make another go! None of us are going anywhere!

Great advice everyone! This is why we are doing this! No judgement, no pressure, no comments.

Everyone has troubles. I have tried over 100X. Everyone here has gotten me to this step. I know I would have caved if I did not have someone to talk to everyday!

One day to a month folks! I am soooooooooo happy and grateful!

So it seems I read the free morning newspaper thinking of your guys ... so apparently there may be one more bonus for the women quitters ... so something else to add to the reasons to quit

... for yellowled24 and DonJon (and any other Aussies who drop into this thread) do you know what your Government spends money on ... made me giggle ... guess it's to balance out all the Aussies coming over here

Hey, thanks for this. I hope this is not true since my appetite has been off the charts with the patch on! :eek:

So I am on 24 hours with the second patch! For those that have done it on the patch know it is 3 levels, the 2nd levels is 14 mg vs 21 mg on level 1. No major differences to report yet. The only problem I am having is that my pants are not fitting . 13 pounds so far. A lot but I will start the diet in month 4. I can feel the appetite declining though.

30 Days!!! I just paid off the AC/DC tix with the savings (Thank you Chime ) and am now looking for something for Month 2 which starts tomorrow.

Oh, BTW I have been giving half of the cost of a pack of cigs to a street charity here in NY, so not only getting healthier but doing some good too!

Argh I couldnt do it to ya. You'd get off with an exemption for trying.

You are gonna have another crack though I see. No temptations for a coupla weeks chick.

BD you say you've tried over 100 times previously,....why is this time different? Kudos re the charity also!!

Chime great articles....very interesting read.

This THREAD!! Seriously, the ability to talk to people who are going through it with me and getting support from former smokers and good people like you have made the difference. My wife would constantly be all over me about it to a point where we would argue while I was trying to quit. Does not work.

Everyone here has been amazing!
