Hmsram - What about your smoking?

[devlina2u]

Just wondering......how have you been able to keep up with the pressure? Are you holding on? You can be an inspiration to most of us here......so, do let us know!

[hmsram]

OH my well I was kinda hoping no one would ask
But being the honest person I am I will admit:
I failed I did good for 6 days and the pressure got to me bad...
My DH had his surgery for his wisdom teeth and he was really grumpy and mean that was on the 18th of Jan. and to this day he is still being grumpy.
In the 6days I quit I went from weighing 155 to 160.
I just really couldnt handle it. I was really disappointed in my self. And trust me every day since my hubby reminds me. He quit the same day and still hasnt started back and he tells me several times a day. Oh you just couldnt do it.
You cant handle it. Your nothing but a smoker .. I wont smoke inside. I go out side and he hollers out the door
"Get away from here I can still smell the smoke ..LOL"
I find it funny but also at the same time I feel sad cause I know I messed up and just makes me mad at my self....

My hubby's the same way!! LOL He quit on Jan 1st and I was going to try also BUT I did cut back for a little while!! He was complaining about the smoke and putting me down and all. He finally shut up about it though!!

But you did go 6 days. I am very proud of you. Next time try for 7 days. Eventually you WILL do it!! I feel good about quitting when I think of it and tell myself I AM GOING TO QUIT but when the day I am supposed to quit comes I just can't seem to do it. One of these days I will..I will, really.. I will!!!

God I love this place and all the good people here

Hey I am proud of you six days is six days. I couldn't stay quit for that long until the last time that I quit and it has been almost a year now. We won't talk about the weight but I have started working on that now. Hang in there and don't let hubby get you down I am sure he has some bad habit you don't like. Mine lets me fall in the tolit in the middle of the night because he leaves the lid up.

[devlina2u]

At least you made a sincere effort! You were genuinely trying to quit and THAT is what matters. I hope that you will be able to quit it some time in the near future.

Did you try cutting back little by little? That is how I quit......I quit it in 1997 and then I did not smoke till now. And now, I don't feel like doing it at all. Made my husband quit too.....he used to smoke when we got married but then made him cut down little by little and I suffered the brunt of his anger but NOW everything is fine and I am happy that he quit.

[hmsram]

I cut back alot from what i was smoking.
Possibly because I have to go outside, which really doesnt bother me.
Sometimes when I would sit in front of the computer. I think I would just smoke way to much.
So now having to go outside is better because I am to afraid to leave my computer spot once I get the chance to get on LOL

Hmsram...don't let it get you down. You will get there. I mean, I quit last year for 3 months...cold turkey, was a living b***h, my husband kept saying, why don't you just go buy a pack and get it over with. Well I took those as "fighting words" and stuck to my guns and proved he wasn't going to convince to to start again. Well I did it for 3 months. On New Years 2000 I bought a pack. Then 3 months later in March I quit again. It's been almost a year now. And even sometimes to this day, I have considered stopping and buying a pack. When stress get's too high. But I don't...I am just saying, hang in there. Take it alittle at a time. I gained 10 lbs...and it sucks, but easy to lose...I hope to lose more.

I am rooting for ya!!!

hey please do not be so hard on yourself you made it 6 days with a lot going on.when you are ready to try again we will be here to cheer you on.remember you did good you just tried at a hard time.stress makes it harder to change any habit.i asked one of my friends what helped her the most when she quit her answer was orange juice she drink a glass every time she wanted a cig. she could have the cig. but she had to have the o.j. first for her it was a way of cuting back to none.i do not know if there is something that would work this way for you.here is a (((hug))) and know we care.
