I'm sorry you're having a rough time ArwensMom. Remember that after things go down, they always have to go up. It may be hard to see a way or how right now but keep your chin up. Take care and be strong. Many ((hugs)) for you.

I definately think you need to go and see your doctor. BUT, don't think that you are alone in all of the things that are happening to you. On the third day of my quit, I rear-ended some guy because I was trying to distract myself from not smoking while I was driving and not paying attention to actually DRIVING! Tuesday night (my fourth day), I almost burned my aparment to the ground. I lit a candle maybe 2 hours before I went to bed. I woke up at about 5am and realized that I could smell the scent of the candle in my bedroom UPSTAIRS. I ran downstairs and realized I forgot to blow the candle out. It had been burning all night. The cats could have knocked it over and that would have been it. You can do this though!! It IS possible! It's only a habit, that's all it is...an addiction. We can pull through! Maybe you should try some therapy as well. That can really help A LOT. Good luck my dear!

Arwens' Mom, The first time I tried to quit I went cold turkey. I found out two things. First I have no will power and that after two days I got the shakes real bad. I started smoking again after three days. This time when I decided to quit I used the patch I still get cravings now and then but I don't have the shakes. Is there a site in your area where you can get the patches for free? It might be worth it to try one box of one of the lower steps to see if this will help control your shakiness. I wish that there was some magic wand that I could wave and make every thing allright for you but I will try to offer my support in any other way that I can. I hope this helps you Kaiser [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 53 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,147 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $530 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 10 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 6 [B]Seconds:[/B] 32

I use the nicorette gum which does help. I'm probably not saving much on smokes because I buy the gum instead. I cannot take any of the usual medications because they give me urges toward suicide. I did this before. I know I can do it but I wasn't working with live animals then. It's been 24 days now. Shouldn't it be getting better? At least a little.

I don't know that I can cope with all the disasters this endevor is causing me. Last night I was so upset that I left the shop and didn't lock the door. Thank GOD that no one came in. All I can say is that a guardian angel must have been guarding my door. All I could think about was having a cigarette. That was on my mind so strongly that I forgot to lock up. First time in my whole life. I spent two hours last night at home just saying to myself, "don't smoke, you don't want a cigarette" until I so stressed out that I took sleeping pills. I have had tremors so bad that I sliced open several dogs and ran up HUGE vet bills. There were dogs I had to return untouched because I couldn't get it together enough to deal with them. Because of vet bills and returned dogs my finances have suffered so horribly that I will just have to move into the back of the dog grooming shop. I can't say that this is worth it another day. I really can't. If someone had noticed that the shop was open, I would have lost absolutely all the equipment computers, everything. There must be another way to quit. There must be a way that will serve me better.

I have been to the doctor and there is nothing that they can do for me since I cannot take the medications prescribed for this. I did get some sleeping pills which helped last night. I will absolutely get through this.

I have taken a lot of your advice and put it into practice. I got mad. Instead of telling myself that I won't smoke, I've started telling myself that I don't WANT to smoke. I am a non-smoker! As of right now. Because of you all I've started to see how I was sabotaging my efforts. Like, I'd stand around someone smoking just to whiff the side smoke. Now I vow to cross the street. Walk away. The tremors aren't constant anymore. Yesterday when it hit, I just put the dog away and took one of the kennel dogs for a walk. Thank goodness I wasn't alone in the shop (I am alone sometimes and can't leave at all) so I was able to do this. This morning I woke up sick though. My cough was back and I hope it was because of a cold because I surely have not had a smoke. Instead of willing the craving to go away I denied it existed. I am a non smoker, this isn't a craving for a cig, it's just a bad feeling that will go away. And it did go away. It went away faster than if I sat around thinking "I want a cig and I just wont' have one". Today is much better, it's the best day (so far) that I've had yet. My boyfriend who has insurance (I don't) got a prescription for Nicorette so it will only cost $1.00! If anyone has insurance with low cost prescriptions, see if you can get one for NRT.
