I wanted to start a support thread for all of us who want to quit smoking. It's early morning, and boy, I want to smoke...it's a really powerful addiction. I just got out of the hospital with a really severe bleeding ulcer, yet I still want to smoke. Crazy. I know the craving will pass, it's just a real pain while it's happening.

Hope ur getting well in the hospital!!! non smokers rock

Oh, don't I know it! Just biting my nails and watching Project Runway reruns right now...it will pass, it will pass, it will pass...

Oh man don't do it i was doing so good yesterday had a smoke late at night and my head hurt so bad after idk. Have not had any today bit i have been thinking about them! I cant wait to home and brush my teeth and get in bed so i don't smoke

How's everyone doing on the smoking, or rather, not smoking?

I think yesterday I finally went through the day without thinking about smoking. It has been 2 months I'm non smoker... Its tough first two weeks, then it gets better. Good luck to all of you!

Three days smoke free !!! Still thinking about them alot but feel better already

Broke down and smoked 1/2 a cig yesterday..crap! Now I have to go through the crazy first days all over again...so disappointed in myself. I may see a hypnotist...I feel totally taken over by this addiction. Very demoralized today.

Well, not bleeding anymore Yay! Still waiting for my bloodcount to come up and taking Iron to help with anemia...

Just a word to us all...studies show it takes eight times on average to quit. Yikes.

Glad to hear the bleeding has stopped. Good news!!! Not to discourage anyone here but my mom had quit 20+ x before she quit for good over a 10 year span. This is probably my 8th x or more in my life. Ugh. My program requires a 2 month quit before surgery so I have NO CHOICE if I want the surgery and I do...so bad...so bye bye Marlboro!!!! I'm going into month 4 of a 6 month program so its time. Hope you continue to get well!!! We are quitters and losers...and those are good things here lol
