Well its better than ten or twenty,how many have you had now?? Be honest!! You sound as though you re building up to your quit day,if your on tablets wait till doc is happy with giving you nrt patches.. Set yourself a quit day now,maybe something 2/3 weeks away,then you have nt got that stress to deal with,between now and then,try and space times between cigs,making it longer each time. When d day comes you ll be mentally prepared..I run those classes remember!!!

well folks ive had 5 fags in 24 hours,i still feel terrible for doing it.

hi alko it's nice to hear from youxx
the problem is im on too many tablets ive got another two weeks then all i have to take is my steriods and the drug for preventing me from having
a epileptic fit(have i spelt it right).
i cant wait until the day comes when i can throw the bottles away.
but in the mean time im still going to try and give up smoking.

Elizabeth, you are NOT a failure, no way. You be proud of yourself for what you have done, never ashamed. I smoke 20. Congratulations just for trying, you much better than me, we all luvsya hun, remember just be positive about it xxxxxxxxxxxx

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

i smoke 10 a day.but to me its 10 too many.xx

Listen hun you are NOT a failure he is right you need to stop gradually and need a way to release the stress what about a punchbag :)
Sorry just trying to make you smile are you ashmatic because regardless of what you may think stress can bring on chest problems as well which can constrict the airflow the steroids will help open the airways etc.
do you smoke many a day ?? try and limit it down a little but most of go with the Doctors advice as although smoking is not good for us it relieves stress which sounds like you have a lot of hun
Big hugs Sarah xx

P.S forgot to say take it one day at a time Rome was not built in a day ok xx

im back from the quaks(doctors).
grrrrrrrrrr i feel angry because he told me not to give up smoking straight away until my chest is completely clear.he has referd me to a clinic.
my x-ray showed clouding due to asthma and bronchitis(please for give my spelling if ive spelt it wrong).
oxygen level is now back to normal.he is going to keep me on steroids for a while longer.
he said the reason why i got upset was because of the stress im putting myself under.
he also told me im not a heavy smoker(to me i am).
i still feel like a failure to myself.xxxxxxx

Please dont feel bad I tried my hubby said I was the Spawn of Satan it was as though I went nuts. The nicotine is an adictive habit
You will find yourself tearful and moody and often having a go at those nearest to you it basicaly like going detox your body is craving.

a few tips that help::
Have a bowl of fruit near to where you put your ciggies
Carry an apple in your bag at all times in case you get the craving whilst out
If freinds smoke tell them no smoking in your home they will have to go without
Drink a glass of water when feeling the urge to light up

Most of all dont be too hard on yourself as its hard hun going cold turkey is like an alcaholic going detox keep posting and if you need a friendly bit of support feel free to message me :)

hugs Sarah xx

Hope your doc listens to you Elizabeth and gives you lots of help.

The most important thing is that you want to stop, and you will. Don't beat yourself up about having a little lapse. You're not going to let that beat you, I'm sure

Lots of love,

So you had a slip up,so what,you can still do it,

Don't be ashamed-I havent even got the guts to try.

i will do it,ive got to because of my health.

xxxxxxxxxx

Okay so you've had one, but how many would you have had if you weren't giving up...
Some people crave the cigarette, some like you feel down, some just feel poorly..

Don't feel guilty, and you haven't let anyone down.

You've been doing really really well and you WILL do it.

You still want to be a non smoker don't you? For all the reasons you had before. Feel a bit yuk, remember fags make you feel yuk, and get back on with not smoking.

You're doing really well. And well done for coming on here and saying you felt you were going to have a bit of a wobble.

Don't worry, you're going to do it :o)
