Well, the nicotine monster got me again! :( I have been really stressed the last few weeks, what with the whole law school transfer and moving thing, and I just snapped! We'll see how long this lasts before I get sick of it again - or decide I really want to get my nails done! That was my reward for quitting smoking - I took the money I spent on cigs and used it to get my nails done and a pedicure. So we'll see if the stress or the vanity wins out

When your ready try again. It took me several tries to quit.

It seems like I'm always trying to quit...but at least I'm always trying!! I know one of these days, I will look back and realize I haven't smoked for a long time - just not there yet. Thanks so much for the encouragement - I needed that!!

You can do it. I can just imagine the stress your under right now. :? :roll: You'll be fine, at least your posting, and that's a really good sign that your really trying.

Good Luck Everyone!!!

Good Morning Everyone!!

Hope is well for all of you. I'm hoping a friend will post here, because he stopped smoking again and he needs the support that this thread will give him...

Well, I've been going about 4 days, no smoking at all, then breaking down and having one or two, then 4 days or so, no smoking again. This has been going on for about 3 weeks so far. Whenever I do have those one or two smokes, I feel bad then stop again. I just wish I didn't like it so much! I read Alan Carr's book and tried to convince myself that I really wasn't enjoying it and that I'm much happier when I'm not smoking, but I'm finding that I really do enjoy it. I will keep trying, and refuse to let myself go back to where I was. The car is not so bad any more, so that's good. That nightly walk in the park with the dogs is still really hard. If I can get past the week mark, I think it'll be okay. I haven't gotten through a weekend yet, so that is going to be my next goal. I've also put on a little extra weight, which ticks me off. I usually do cardio at the gym 3 x a week for 35 min., so I've added 10 min. to each session to see if that will help.

Hope everyone else is doing well!

You say "i just wish i didn't like it so much", can you tell me what you like about and enjoy about it?

If anyone has quit, just vent out here... even if you need some support, this is the place to be...
