Hi Jacqui - Hope you are doing okay...I have been away for abit but you have reminded me of the rough ride that it took to get here. Being angry and totally cranky is totally normal in my book...I do believe that I went through a period of time where I hated almost everybody and I was a miserable toad....but mostly my hubby got the brunt of it. Some people have an easy time of it...but the rest of us have to ride the roller coaster....hang on tight during the rough spells and enjoy the good ones....They will come..honest!! (By the way....I am back to normal now - which DOES mean that I am still cranky from time to time but those roller coaster days are gone) All the best to you...

Hey Jacqui. Please don't give up on giving up! You are doing so well and I can give you a 100% guarantee that it does get easier. You are only 28 and you are giving yourself the best gift you can. Even if you have had a slip, just get back on the horse and start again. Now, your mind is your most powerful weapon, if you choose to use it. Your brain is now screaming out for its drug of choice, nicotine. I remember you have young children so, try this. Every time you think of wanting a smoke, substitute a picture in your head of your children sitting in your lounge room with cigarettes in their hands, smoke curling up to the ceiling, looking at YOU Mum, cos that's where they learned it from. Then substitute in a picture of you all, healthy and smoke-free doing something as a family from all the money you have saved from not smoking. 50% of your tobacco money goes back to our government! Surely, they take enough from you with taxes, GST etc. I hate the fact that they "pretend" to want us to stop, when in fact they take billions each year from tobacco! There's so many reasons to stay quit Jacqui, and not many for starting up again, except that you have just set yourself up to crave another cigarette, and another and another. That craving will NEVER stop until you end it. Kia kaha - remember you'll be on the beach soon (literally, since you live at Papamoa), feeling the wind rush into your lungs and loving life.

Jacqui, That's not you. That's addiction. The longer you go, the louder the nicotine addict screams for it. If you don't give in and stay the course, the addict gives up. What coping techniques have you tried? Chances are we can give you a few hundred more to try and hopefully something within that list will work well for you. Danielle, Bilingual Support Specialist
