Joel,
I have been quit for 39 days. The longest, hardest 39 days of my life (and my husband's, too, I'm sure). At the start of my quit, I was pumped up and ready to go. I found your site either the first or second day of my quit and I can't tell you how amazingly helpful it was for me. I'm SURE I would not still be quit at this date if it weren't for your site. I tried to post, but either my computer or your website wouldn't let me. Or, maybe it was just me not being able to figure it out! I really wish I could have, thohgh.
I smoked about a pack a day for 7 years prior to this quit.(I am only 26 yrs old) I had tried to quit a few times before and once made it almost a month, but that was for someone else, not for me. The thing about this quit that has helped it to stick for so long is your site and all the "education" I found there. Learning why and how cigarettes are bad and do what they do really, really helped.
Here is where I am struggling, though. It's been 39 days and I'm STILL overly angry and "nasty" at times. The only person who knows I've quit is my husband because no one else knew I even smoked! I've always been "closet smoker". I still think about smoking, I KNOW a smoke would make me "feel" better. I know it would not change the circumstance. Everything upsetting me at the momet would still be happening and all the consequences and outcomes still there. BUT, a cigarette would make me FEEL better. My husband naively thought that I'd be "over it after 3, 10 days at the most", because he's never had an addiction.
So, what do I do? Please help me.
I have so much more to say, but.... could go on forever. Just really anxious to hear what you have to say if you respond.
Thank you for your time,
Frances
