[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 140813, member: 1721"] Week eleven? Sounds so much longer than week ten! I am doing alright on the smoking thing, everyone. :) It's been off and on, but mostly off, since mid-January. I am using a nicotine patch, and have the gum here too in case I feel like I miss that extra little boost a cigarette gave me. The doctor did prescribe Chantix, along with an anti-depressant and xanax to treat the symptoms ~ but I haven't needed to fill or use them. At least this way, I know what I am addicted to, and am not adding anything else to the mix! It's the strangest thing, too ~ husband is still smoking? And it DOES smell horrible. And it DOES give us bad breath ~ when I have smoked during this time, I notice the difference right away when I am flossing my teeth. Which might be more than anyone wanted to know ~ but smelling (and tasting) so much better is one of the best things about not smoking cigarettes for me. The thing that I noticed, once I made it through those first few weeks, is that I stopped remembering to compliment myself, or to excuse irritability. I think that might be where self-sabotage begins, with cigarettes. It is really important to mark and compliment ourselves for all the good things that are happening for us when we stop using them. Otherwise, we remember smoking as a better time than it was. Congratulations on all you have accomplished, LDM! And thank you for continuing this weekly check in. It's fun to learn how the others of us are doing ~ and I think it has helped us to know others are out there, struggling to accomplish the goals they have set for themselves ~ and making it ~ too! This HAS to be the hundredth time I have tried to stop using cigarettes. Only this time? I am doing it. Barbara :blushing2: [/QUOTE]
