15 years i have been smoking and tried to quit a hundred times but it drives me crazy …. i think its part of my personality by now and if i do quit forever this may phsycologically change my personality…. where does will power come from and how is it developed ??? my theory is as a child when you want toys and sweets and always demanding for them non stop and throwing tantrums coz your parents wont give then after half an hour of putting up with the stress they eventually give in and say o.k this time…. there you go…. and there goes everybodys will power at the same time…… what do you rekon !!!

I quit smoking the week before Thanksgiving cold turkey. I haven’t even told people cause if I talk about it, I feel that makes it worse. Right now, I am almost in tears I want to smoke so bad. I feel like it’s part of my personality or something. But I can’t smoke. I am a mother and I want to be alive and not die a slow suffering death for my children to witness. WTF?
When will this stop?
Holy crap even the limited categories to put this in is making me want to smoke. I mean, what kind of choice is HEALTH. Healthy people won’t get it. How about, the I want to smoke so bad I feel sub human category?

Each person is different. I am also a quit smoker, lol and have been quit one time for 9 years in my thirties, at which time it took about 6 months to stop coughing up gunk. I quit again permanently in late forties and it took a lot longer that time. I have asked lots of doctors about this, because it is so annoying and disgusting and they all just look at me and say “every individual is different” it kinda makes me wanna smack ‘em, ya know???, could they not just admit they have no clue??? Lol just stay quit, eventually it will stop!

I want to quit smoking and thoght if I am going to eat like a pig why not eat the food that would help me stop smoking.

Im 19 and I have been smoke since I was 14. Im really into this one guy, but he hates that I smoke so Im trying to quit. Is it true that if you stop smoking that your lungs and body go back to normal?

I really feel like having a smoke. I have been quit for 8 days and the only thing stopping me is that I know I have to do this for my baby but in the meantime I feel rotten. I’m craving a cigarette so bad and I’m VERY moody right now. Well, actually I’ve been a real ****** since I quit, it’s just getting worse. It would be helpful if my so-called partner was more supportive but he is the cause of a lot of my stress and a main reason why I need a smoke right now. How long will the withdrawal symptoms last? I thought after hanging in there for 8 days it would be a lot easier but no, instead I have a wicked headache, feel depressed and I really want a smoke!! PLease tell me it gets easier!!

I think I pretty much have the worst possible scenario here. My dad left 8 months ago. My mom and sister are the only people I truly have left in my life. My mom smokes and has been for about 20 years on and off. But the problem is she tries to hide it from everyone. my entire life she’s tried to “hide it”. When I was younger, she denied it. Then I caught her one day and she confessed. Since that day about ohhhh 12 years ago, we havent spoken of it with eachother since. I am so worried about her. She is over weight, smokes, and doesnt eat healthy and in her mid forties. She is at risk for SO many diseases and things. I want her to quit, but shes so embarrased to even talk about her addiction. Will she ever quit? Even if I confront her and tell her she should, she is going to have to want to do it on her own. Im so frustrated because I’m close to her and I don’t want her to die!!!???

Hellooo TTC women ,
Me and my husband have been TTC since last month, I got my AF grrr! We stopped smoking after we read it lowers our chance 40%. I am ovulating from Thursday to Monday… do you think its a better chance than last month?
I keep seeing ppl get pregnant and I’m like “wwhhyyy noott mee”? Lol.I bet I’m not the only woman thinking that… any advice ladies?
Btw, me and hubby made 1 yr married yesterday! Yay

Even if I dont replace my smoking with constant eating or dont change my eating habits at all will stopping smoking still make me gain weight? If so why and how do I stop it from happening? Also any suggestions on how to stay confident and not give in to my cravings (cause its only been a day and im going crazy). Thanks so much for any help.
