Now all we need to do is work on SugarGirl's substance abuse problem.

I've seen that cat in action-- I KNOW she has a drug problem.

Hey! No slandering my kitty!

Catnip?

You stopped counting hours.

My mother, after 45 years of smoking, stopped after her first grand daughter was born. It's been more than 3 years since.

Well I am certainly glad I never started Keep strong Carrie

Thanks!


Today's a hard day.

Just think of the baby seals that will breathe easier today because you put less smoke to accumulate at the top of the earth Wait, maybe that wasn't a good analogy :globalwarmingsucks:

Just think about the iPhone you're getting me

the first three are a real challenge, but then quitting really sinks in. It becomes less of an addiction and more of a choice.

NDRU said:

Yeah, for the next three days. Three days later it goes back to being hell, only this time, your spirit and body have been crushed and you want nothing more than to kill everyone around you before you wither up for eternity.

This cycle continues for 3 years at which point you're free and clear.

Good luck, Carrie!

You're not far off! I did this for 2 months a few years ago.

3 years! I guess everyone's different. Quitting was easy for me once I decided I wanted to do it. But years later I still kind of want a cigarette every once in a while.

The physical action of smoking is the thing that has stayed with me, for pot as well. I can feel myself lighting up, inhaling, etc. It's muscle memory.

Hang in there Carrie!!!!!


I'm a binge smoker. I don't smoke all day then when I get home around 5pm, I start smoking. I hate it!

I went back to the gym on Monday. All I did was cardio but it was hard. Now I have a cough. I know my body is trying to get rid of all the gunk.

Stay strong Carrie. You can do this, I have faith in you and I believe you will overcome this!!!!

great job Carrie! Keep up the hard work
It's tough breaking a habit, but you can do it

good sign when the hours turn into days!

keep it up!

Good gor you Carrie!!!


Keep it up!

Today has been the hardest day so far.

It's yucky.

I broke down and bought potato chips even.

I'm gonna gain 20 pounds in the next month.

CarrieMpls said:

Thats just today..... Breathe sister.

CarrieMpls said:

that's awesome! Not that you broke down, but you didn't buy cigarettes.

One of the great things about cigarettes (that people don't do enough without them) is they make you take breaks. You go outside, breathe in a controlled way, and contemplate the world. That's a very good thing, if only you weren't smoking.

Maybe you are missing that. Try going outside and breathing slowly.

NDRU said:

That sounds funny. I do make a point to breathe deeply, particularly when I'm having a craving.





I'm spending lots and lots of time in the restroom. All the water I'm drinking is making me pee like crazy.

Can't wait to see the thread title hit double and triple digits!
