Tubbie, It looks like you're hanging in there. Good for you! The one saving grace that I keep coming back to is that these miserable withdrawal symptoms are only temporary. And thank goodness for that. Keep that quit going, and keep posting!

Tubbies, Although not much fun, take this as a good sign! You're body has finally been given a chance to heal itself and is doing so. Chemical changes occur in the mouth and throat as much damage is done by inhaling hot smoke. Your doctor is able to prescribe topical ointments if they are really bothering you. Remember the withdrawal symptoms are temporary but the consequences of going back to smoking severe! Danielle, Bilingual Health Educator

tubbies, are you eating? You must eat something every few hours because as the nicotine leaves your body, it really messes with your blood sugar. Eating some cheese and crackers, fruit and nuts will help keep your blood sugar up. Stay away from sugary stuff -- it will make your blood sugar spike and then crash. I call it the heebie-jeebies, that shaky feeling you get when your blood sugar is low. Also, the mouth thing is very normal...do a search here on mouth sores. Lots of folks suffer mouth pain, but it will go away. Stay away from citrus and other acidy food for a bit. You can do this!

Cigarettes Not Smoked

hi everyone. gosh, i didn't think it would be so hard. i gave up once before without nrt and i don't remember it being this hard. i went upstairs and used the inhalator for the first time. it took the edge off. i'm seeing the stop smoking nurse for the first time tomorrow. i should look at that as a milestone because i never thought i'd actually make it to the appointment without a cigarette. thanx for the support. tina [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]1/2/2008 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 4 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 80 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �16.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 18 [B]Seconds:[/B] 33

When the going gets tough, the tough keep going. Don't let yourself down with a splurge on cheaper death sticks, that's definitely goin to make you feel a hell of a lot worse than you feel now. The mouth pain really sucks but it goes away. So does the insomnia, the hefty cravings, the 'wind of death' aka horrible gas pain, headaches, the shakes and every other really awful withdrawal symptom out there. These symptoms are all nic's way of staying in control of you. You wouldn't let a drug dealer control your life, why would you let a drug? x T [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]1/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 370 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 8,510 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �2,035.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 31 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 56 [B]Seconds:[/B] 3

tubbies, We all know what you are going through. Even searching for the cheaper cigs is part of the quitting journey. As is, switching to lights, or a brand that advertises "no additives", or only allowing ourselves 10 a day, or only smoking on the weekends, or at night. These are all deceptions that the addiction leads us on with. You know the bottom line. Smoking is a horrible addiction that is linked to many, many fatal illnesses. They are extremely expensive; they make us smell bad, they CAUSE (instead of relieve) anxiety. The list of negative impact on our lives goes on and on. Do what you need to do to stay smoke free. Take a nap, or a hot bath, or go for a walk, or cry. Take some deep breaths and use some positive self talk. Be proud of yourself for those 4 fabulous smoke free days. Think about and heed what Sparky has shared with you. It is the truth. My thoughts are with you. It may not seem like it at times, but, you can quit smoking. new me [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/26/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 225 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,400 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,125.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 31 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 23 [B]Seconds:[/B] 48

Ok. You go on your 'money-saving' venture and 'save' whatever. I've saved about $10,000 dollars so far and with the added bonus that hopefully, I still won't die of a smoking-related illness. It is not impossible to quit. It is hard for you at the moment, but please, tough it out and you will eventually be glad that you did. all the best [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 692 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 20,760 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �5,190.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 112 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 28 [B]Seconds:[/B] 43

Tubbie, I know how hard this is. If you give in now you will only be mad at yourself. Listen, I have had more slips than I care to say. What I learned is, it is so much easier to go though this and get it over with. If you smoke you are only going to wish you had stayed stopped. Then you will plan another quit date and have to go this all over again. Believe, unless you like going though withdrawal over and over and over it is so much easier just not to smoke. Our bodies go though all kinds of changes in the beginning but it will get better. Just don't smoke today and then when you wake in the morning decide what you want then. I hope you choose not to smoke.
