ccali78 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I just quit smoking. I am on day 3 or 4. I went cold turkey and I am having a nervous break down. I have not slept in two days. I could cry at anything and everything and to make matters worse I am taking on my insecurities out on my ex and he may think I am crazy. Everytime I start getting along with him I go crazy!!! What is wrong with me... Link to comment
Catdancer Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I smoked since I was 11, I am now 34 and 4 months ago I quit because I'm pregnant. It's been hell. Probably a little easier for me since I have a "little" motivation. lol Hang in there. Chew gum. Suck on hard candy and grit your teeth. Link to comment
StretchGee Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Is it quitting cigarettes or your ex that is driving you mad? ;+) Link to comment
CallingAllAngels Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Quitting smoking is hard, but believe me, it's worth it. Try drinking lots of water to flush all the impurities out of your body, and remind yourself that you're doing something really good for yourself. I quit for 8 years, but took it up again last May AFTER my divorce was over. I am quitting today so your post gives me extra incentive. Link to comment
alli Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Get those nicotine patches!! And tell your ex you're quitting; that should be enough to make him understand the moodiness, lol. Link to comment
Clementine orange Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Nicotine gum works too. Do the ABC thing..."Anything But Cigarettes" Link to comment
ccali78 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 It is the quitting smoking but I do not know why I would start bugging him because of my sensitivity. I guess I am just confusing my emotions. It has been long enough since the break up that I am not suffering from missing him. But it is totally hard. I thought about the gum and patch but I have never used them when quitting in the past. I have always gotten moody but never insomnia... Link to comment

Nicotine replacement therapy was the only way I could quit, that and saying that I refused to be a slave to something that was killing me. Don't let cigarettes run your life... The patch to keep things even and the gum for instant gratification, I used both, they say not to but "they" also tell you smoking will kill you. GOOD LUCK I smoked on a daily basis for 20 years, I am 10 years smoke free Link to comment
ccali78 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 I am afraid of Chantix. My dad tried it and became really depressed and actually cried to my mother. I have never seen my father cry so to say the least I am scared to death of drugs.. Except for the one's for my anxiety as I cannot contol that. Link to comment
CallingAllAngels Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I'm still on day one. It's tough, but my BF hates smoking, so that is a little more incentive for me. Plus I am starting the pill on Sunday and I can't smoke on it because I'm over 35. Link to comment
