Need Help Quiting!

I have been smoking for about 38yrs,about 1 pack a day or more. I've tried the patches ,gum and Wellbutrin,but nothing has helped. I have 2 cartons left and after that I'm not going to buy any more. So my husband will  want to kick out of the house because I will be so grouchy, I'll drive him nuts. He has had the brains to never smoke so he has no idea how hard it is to quit. Iv'e lost about 10lbs. trying to get ready because I know I will gain weight. So if anyone has any ideas that will help, let me know.I need to stock up on gum and suckers or something.

Husband needs help

My husband injuried his back on the job nearly 10 years ago. He has had 3 back surgerys and has a spinalcord stimulator now, but it doesn't help much.Needless we don't have a normal life. He usually lays in bed most of the day, just gets up for lunch, goes to the record store about once a week, and if I'm lucky , go out  to eat once in a while. We're trying to find a new pain management dr. to go to because this one seems to have given up so hopefully we find one that will listen to us . So wish us luck. I'd like to have a normal life again and enjoy our retirement, We're not that old yet, still in our 50's.

caught in the act

I hope Kendra gets caught again and gets put in jail. That is why we have to pay higher prices for our clothes,everyone has to mark up their prices to pay for people stealing. I worked in a dept. store for 14 yrs. and  I would see women in asset protection room with their little kids in there with them after they were caught stealing. Of course most of the time they were just given a fine. BIG DEAL!

Quit Smoking Buddy

Quote From: roxnboys

I also need a Quit smoking buddy.  I am 35 years old, and smoke 2 packs or more a day.  I see these horrifying commercials on the t.v. and still sit there and smoke not thinking about my two teenage boys.  If not for ourselves, we need to do it for our children, grandchildren, our families, and mostly for our own health reasons.
Lisa, I really wish you luck, I have about 12pks. left befor I run out and I hope I have enough willpower to not buy anymore. This is the 12th, how are you doing so far? I have been smoking as long as you are old. It doesn't matter how long you have been smoking, it will always be hard to quit.I just hope we all have the willpower to do it and not start back when we do quit. GOOD-LUCK again.     Kay

hypnosis

Quote From: jillian57

i have been smoking for about 7 years.  im 23 years old and i've tried just about everything out there except hypnosis.  have any of you tried hypnosis?  i would love 2 hear your feedback before i try it. 
Jillian57, I tried it once, but I really did't go under, so it didn;t help me any at all. It could just be me though, I don't relax real easy, or it could have been the Dr. I went to. Good luck if you do go,maybe it will work for you.

2 days left

Quote From: linda12k

Hi,

March 31,sounds like the perfect date to quit. You mention wishing you luck, I wish you well. There is so much good information on this board, please read the archives too. It helps to know some of the phases that a person goes though in quitting. I too tried a many time to quit, but always failed. I believe it was the support of this board that helped me get past the hard times. And a really good friendship came out of it too.

I have not tried  "Chantix", but have heard good results with it. Everything you can prepare yourself with to help, will make it easier. I used the Wellbrutrin, and the inhaler. And coming back and forth to the board when I would have a rough moment. Post often, it helps take some of the pressure off.  I also smoked about 35 years too, and about pack and half a day. But my quit day was March 30, on that date I will celebrating 2 years smoke free. Looking back, the time flew by.

Linda, thanks for  the (well wishes). I do hope I have better luck this time. I,ve stocked up on suckers and gum and bought some nicotine patches, plus I renewed my membership to the health club. My excuse has always been, I don't want to gain weight, So I have been lucky and lost about 12 lbs.But hopefully I don't gain much weight back,and I do quit. I always say that smoking is the only enjoyment I get out of life, so hopefully I can find something else to enjoy.

Mike&Jamie

 I can't believe the way Jamie  acted befoe the wedding. Making Mike uninvite his friends. It does sound like she has a control  issue. Poor Mike, couldn't go to a club and she spends all that money on the purse,clothes and the limo-she wanted. I've been married for nearly 29 years and my wedding was (very ) small. We got married at a friends house with just them and theit little boy. We did have a small cake. For our wedding supper we went to a small Italian resturant which probably cost at the most $7.00 for the both of us to eat. We didn't have a honeymoon or anything, we both went back to work on the following Monday. In fact we didn't have a trip until we had been married for about 20yrs. Just because you spend a lot on a wedding and all of the trimmings doesn't mean you will have a long and happy marriage. Ours probable cost $30.$40. of course not including the rings, I did get a nice ring.That is the onlything that we did owe on was the ring. We did't go nuts and spend thousands on a wedding that you will be paying on forever after you get married.

Well, this is April the st. I still had about 10 cigaretts left, so of course I couldn't throw them away, so after I finish with these, Hopefully I have enough brains not to go buy anymore. So this sounds like the day to quit. So wish me luck again. Hopefully I have the will power to no go to the store and get another pack.

No willpower

Quote From: ronda72

If you truly want to quit you have to be able to throw away those last 10 smokes, I cut and flushed up a whole carton and I live in MI they cost about 55 dollars a carton. 
Well, evidently I have no willpower at all. I went back out and bought 2  pks, Monday. Decided I couldn't do the cold turkey thing. So now I am slowly trying to cut down each day. Hopefully by April 15th. A date I can shoot for. I'll have better luck.
