So I had a set back. I was cruising along doing great with not smoking. Then a whole bunch of little things started happening. Not big enough where alone it would cause me too much grief. But tons of little things piling up and I caved. I smoked. I've been smoking for almost a week. Work and medical testing and a puppy who is sick from getting into onions the old owners of the house planted and migraines and 63 days of 90+ heat and I just had it. Other things here and there. But it was smoke or have a melt down. Just one little thing on top of the other while I am already stressed about surgery and insurance just set me over. I won't take the meds to stop because I have no idea what they might do with my ms meds or my insomnia or anxiety. Just don't want that.

*sigh* :-(

If you are doing this cold turkey......you are doing GREAT! I am proud and envious of you for only have cheated once! The scariest part of this for me is the quitting smoking! But as of next tues I will be part of your club ....keep up the great work;)

i too can relate my grandma only grandparent left just hard a heart attack and they dont know if she is strong enough to go through surgery to help her get better.

my 2 year old is driving me nuts! temporary separation from my husband. just started 2 online classes. work full time and financial issues are always a burden.

BUT we have the surgery to look forward to. we dont want to sabotage this amazing gift that weve all been working soo hard for!!

i got chantix a week ago and stopped taking it. i want to start again tomorrow because all in all smoking is so bad. i can barely walk up the stairs without being out of breath (and i work out 4 times a week).

its ok if you slip up its very hard to quit. almost depressing. but i have faith in you! and reading your post gives me more determination to not buy a pack on the way to work in the morning!!!!!!
