Okay.. so far I have smoked only 2 cigarettes since I left which is a HUGE cut back for me. I usually smoke at least 15 when I am at/on the way to and from work. Only reason I broke down is 'cause of this stupid person that decided to start bitching at me. But tomorrow is another day.. and if I don't have one in the morning I won't need one later right

My husband and I are going rounds on that topic.. He's a smoker too, and it wouldn't be fair for him to punish me for smoking, and he doesn't want anyone else doing it.. so.. we are at a stuck point there. Any suggestions?

Is there anyone else that quit smoking? I have a couple of questions.
(Actually just one)
Did anyone else get a really bad cold shortly after cutting back or quitting all together? I woke up this morning all stuffy and sore throat, and coughing, really congested! It sucks

Kryssi...it has been YEARS since I have smoked, but I can tell you what might be happening.
There are tiny microscopic hairs along your trachea and the lining going into your lungs - they are called cilia (they "wave" back and forth - helping us get rid of mucus, dust, etc..). When you smoke, these hairs become almost "paralyzed" - and don't move for up to 8 hours! When you stop smoking - these cilia begin to move again, but must now try to get rid of the pollutants that have accummulated. So, this might be the reason you feel "yucky"....This too shall pass
Or.......you could be getting a cold LOL~~ But my $$$ is on the cilia "waking up". Trying drinking lots of water. It might be helpful.

Kryssi, I stopped 4 years ago but I did not have a bad cold and cough, I did notice my taste buds got better, I like not smelling like an ashtray, I did develope a sweet tooth that I did not have when I smoked. I always put off not stopping but I wound up with 2 blocked arteries and now have to live with what I did to myself....

I have been drinking lots of liquids, although water hasn't really come up I was drinking cranberry juice earlier, but ran out of that . Anyway, hubby came home to me laying in bed, and said I had a slight fever. I feel a little better now.. but not 100% yet.

I'm sorry you feel so lousy Kryssi. I agree with Pinkcheeks that your body is trying to rid itself of the toxins. You will be more vulnerable to colds while going through this part, but it will ease up soon.
Feel better. 
If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.

Kudo's Kryssi! You've made a good decision to quit smoking. I quit smoking (again) 4 years ago. I started as a teen, quit in my early 20's, then started up again when I became single. I smoked for a couple of years then gave it up again. What worked for me was allowing myself one critical ciggy a day for a while. The one I really needed was the one on the commute home from work. I would stop and purchase one cigarette (you can get the single, flavored kind at most little stop-n-robs) and savor it on my way home. It really took the edge off.
I don't remember being sick after quitting, meybe you've just got a case of sniffles. All the benefits of quitting are so worth it! Good luck!
Some day you'll spank me... er thank me for this!

For somebody who likes to be spanked i,m not sure if spanking is a deterent to smoking.If every time you wanted a spanking all you had to do was light up you might increase your smoking. |

Buenaventura we kinda covored that last year (When I tried to quit right after my daughter was born).. and the spanking that I would get for smoking would be far worse then anything else. Very stingy, very quick, and probably not something I wanted to look forward too. I totally see your point though! So far I've done pretty well.. I only have one cigarette left in my pack, and I am not going to allow myself to buy anymore. So however long I can go without that one smoke is good! Right now, sunflower seeds and winterfresh gum is my best friend.

Thank you Redhinney for the encouragement. I totally broke down today and there no one around to do anything about it which really sucks, but tomorrow is another day right?
*speaking of nobody to do anything about it.. don't I still owe Teddy those essays? I totally forgot about it.. maybe I will do that tomorrow*

*applause* Go Kryssi!!!
I know a bunch of ppl who quite smoking and were sick for awhile afterwards. Something about your lungs getting used to it or some other weird explanation. No worries honey, but if it continues, you might wanna get a Dr's opinion. Congratulations though!!!

Kryssi - don't be too hard on yourself! You are doing so well! Did you end up getting a spanking for slipping up? I do when I do and it helps... at least for a little while, LOL.

No, I didn't get spanked for that! Only because he's a smoker, and I don't think it's fair for him to spank me for smoking. Although we haven't worked out a reasonable agreement as to the repicutions of smoking.

So, I've totally relapsed. I am not sure at this point I can do this. I really want to, but it seems like everything I do won't work. Katie suggested the gum, or zyban, but I've been out of work for 2 weeks, 'cause of my knee swelling and stuff, and I can't afford it right now

Here is the out of work CHEAP version on how to quit
First off you are saving money to start with by NOT SMOKING ....incentive there
2 when craving hits ..get off your duff and do something .. fold a load of laundry ... grab out tonights meat for supper ..
3. still suffering roll a pencil back and forth between fingers ..feels like a cigerattte
4. still antsy drink half a glass of COLD water slowly .
5 Now you absoulty NEED to suck something ...ok make a cup of coffee or Tea . (need steam) take your lil straw and SUCK the steam (only steam liquid this hot would burn through straw). amazinly the heat of the steam fools you
6. invest in pretzal sticks .. cheap not too fattening and you can suck them as long as you need to
&. Switch your set off method . if you smoke every time you sat in a certian chair ..either move the chair OR .. do not sit there ... smoke while on the phone ..get your pencil going
Cravings last 5 mins .distract yourself you can do it ..
This method does work its how I went cold turkey for a couple years.
He asked what I needed , timidly gave it at first, now he just knows.

I just saw this and am sorry to hear of the relapse but the best thing to do is just get back on and stop beating yourself up over it. If you are hard on yourself you'll only want to smoke more and that is the last thing you want so just get back on the horse and congratulate yourself for doing such a difficult thing in the first place!

I'm still smoking occasionally, but not nearly as much as I did.. now i can't make a pack last 3-4 days.. as opposed to the 1-2 days as before. So I'm not really the one to ask, but I'm sure alot of people in the den could help you. As they have helped me alot.

Atomicpuppy, you can help your wife in stopping with the smoking, have her not buy any, instead you do that for her, and each day you give her one less than you did the day before, and don't have any extras in the house. also buy her some fresh fruit and give her some when the two of you are together.it's better for her than smoking.
You may want to have a no smoking rule in your house, she would then have to go outside to smoke as they do in the work place.
I don't think there is just one way to stop, but give things a try, and don't let her get down on her self if she has a bad day, keep her pumped up.
I stopped out of fear, fear I would have a second heart attack, now I have to live with the damage I did to myself, not a good thing. I wish her the best of luck.
