        It gets better after the first week

        The first seven days, it probably would have been wise to institutionalize me

        I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

          Hang in there G, I really feel bad for Madame Buttonfly & your Pappi.  You are difficult enough as it is.  I won't pm you with any of my questions till you pass seven days smoke free, by that time the edge should be off a little bit.

              Thanks.  Madame Buttonfly also gave up, but she was more of a social (i.e. with a drink) smoker.  I, on the otherhand,  was a proper smoker, so we are in ths together, but she is getting pissed off with my tetchiness…..........

                Don´t know if that helps, but when I did quit for a year I used a simple trick..

                always had one cigarette with me - and I kept telling myself if I really needed to smoke - I could.

                We can do anything

                    I quit smoking in 1996 (and have only had 4 or 5 cigarrettes after that, of which the last one was in 2005 or so). It will get easier with time but I still had urges a couple of years ago. In fact, dreamt about smoking last night (really stressed out from work at the moment)…

                    Smoking doesn't fit my self image anymore so I doubt I'll ever start again but I do consider myself a smoke-a-holic for life.

                    Quitting has easily been the best decision I have made so far in my life. A big thumbs up to all quitters!

                    AIAN HA-TO!

                      My trouble is that I have given up for years at least 3 times in the past…..............Pathetic............

                        This is precisely why I'm sticking with the ecig at a low dose of nicotine. I've quit before and then come back to smoking when I'm stressed. I've kind of given up the idea of being a true "non smoker"

                          I don't go back when I am stressed, I go back when I think I've been off them long enough to have one just once in a while.  I have no facility to learn from past mistakes when it comes to smoking….....................

                            Idem G. Last time I started again (after my third time stopping) I thought i'd have one with a beer now and again…Problem was I started to want a beer everyday! It's a slippery slope that we forget all too easily. Once a smoker always a smoker...just like an alcoholic. We can't do the occasional one now and again...and more's the pity 😞

                                          Well, G – you're at least trying to quit/have tried to quit/want to quit...at least that's what I gather, and for that, I am proud of you.
