[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 519633, member: 13558"] Dear DDD, Thia is one time I can honestly say, 'been there' and know exactly how hard it is to quit!!! I worked with 3 women and was in the 'marriage from hell' and was stressed. All 3 women smoked and knew what I was going through. For about a week they would offer me a cigarette on breaks and then I started buying my own. The first few times I smoked one I didn't care for it at all. I've heard other people say the same thing!! We are all different, but I became highly addicted easily. For about 2 years I tried the gum, accupuncture, hypnosis, meditation and nothing worked. I smoked a cigarette first thing in the morning, before doing anything. I woke up on January 1 about 15 years ago and was out of cigarettes. I decided this was the day and I quit cold turkey. My blood pressure went dangerously high and I was nauseated the first week and very nervous. I made a doctor's apppointment and that was the first time I was told that stopping smoking was as hard as stopping herion addiction, for some, not all. My hubbie's daughter had allergies and he stopped with no problems at all. I gained at least 20 pounds and it seemed like over night, I ate hard candies and chewed gum constantly. I also dreamed about smoking! I think I crocheted an afghan in 2 weeks lol. I can honestly say it was a full year before I could say that I no longer smoked and mean it. Today, smoke fumes bother me and I am not tempted at all to start again.! I have known people to start back after 10 years. It did give me compassion for my difficult child's problems, but that lead to my enabling! Stay strong, it's not easy, but you can do it one day at a time! [/QUOTE]
