norwichbluenose Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 I love smoking it makes me feel good. When I smoked i never had BL**** MOOD SWINGS shouted or felt like putting someones eye out with the cig they are smoking. Apart from that everything is going fine and all is good in my world.

The first few days tend to be the worse. Remember you are doing this for yourself and your kids. You will feel frustrated, short tempered but very soon you will feel so much better. Food will taste better, you will begin to realise that your clothes don't smell of smoke (no affence intended to smokers reading this) and above all else your kids will be proud of you for giving it a real go ! Support is here if you require it. Well done so far ! Steve :( Quote
mumof4 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 Thanks steve, i got real bad the other night, ive never cried so much in my life!! yesterday i felt a lot better, this morn i was ok till all hell broke loose with the kids, my patience is very low with them at the mo and i had to walk out of the house.i nipped to the garage and bought ten fags, had one and felt so sick and dizzy i threw them away.The craving is still there though and i know that it will get better.the kids are being understanding, they know its hard for me, as i explained to them its like them having to give up sweets, or crisps! Thanks for the support, hopefully i am over the worst, but who knows?? Head is still a mess though!! Quote
gregers Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 i tried a few years ago to give up,i went to the doc and he gave me ziaban,i found after a few weeks when ever i wanted a ciggie if i picked up an ash tray and inhaled the stench it used to make me feel sick,CRAVING SOON STOPPED lol.i lasted 7-8 weeks then a few probs occurred and started again and have been smoking ever since one day i will manage it(hopefully). big mistake maz buying and having one(imo)put you back to square 1. keep it up,im sure youll feel better in a few days.

Well gregers i hope you manage to give up someday. When the time is right im sure you will give it a go. I have never had a fag since the day i gave up. There was six of us gave up and i was the only one to stay off. It's easy to buy more fags but like gregers says when you pick up an ashtray and notice the smell :wacko: I remember the fist fag of the day and how that use to make me feel dizzy. I do miss a fag to a degree (no where near enough to make me start again) and remember having one after a meal. I haven't become an total anti-smoker where i think everyone should give up. I also don't mind people smoking around me or even in my house i just know how hard it would be for them to give up and i am just gratefull for the fact i have managed it. I'm glad you threw them away and only smoked one but like gregers has said it is like going back to square 1. I was told also that going to the gym would be good because it's a good way of taking your mind off things and also controls any weight that could be put on. I went for a bit and found that it helped a little and helped me to take the edge off things. Good Luck Maz Keep Going ! Quote
mumof4 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 sorry guys, i caved :huh: .i will try again. Quote
NikpV Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Posted February 29, 2008 get some lozenges - that way you can concentrate on breaking the actual smoking habit and separate it from the nicotine part - worked for me Quote
Mary Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 I tried the lozenges but it made my throat feel like it was closing up and I paniced cos I couldn't breathe. That was in january. Then tried the patches and they make me come out in a rash. So very naughty me is still smoking. I will have to try again.... make up my mind on a date then go cold turkey. God help all those who are near me. Good on anyone who can beat the damned things. Quote
mumof4 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 I think we need a smokers corner :angry2: as yes, im still smoking, weaning off gradually as my asthma doesnt like it when i try and stop! Quote
NikpV Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Posted March 3, 2008 I think we need a smokers corner :angry2: as yes, im still smoking, weaning off gradually as my asthma doesnt like it when i try and stop! apparently when you stop smoking the tar which stops the little hairs from standing up straight eventually is removed and you become very sensitive to air flowing over them and that makes you cough - I wonder what mechanism makes your asthma worse - you would have thought that the constrictions in the alveoli would be lessof a problem without the tar - maybe the lack of nicotine means the airways constrict more ??

mumof4 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 I wish i knew.Ive been trying to find info on it on the net.On another forum i am a member of, a guy suffers from hay fever, and when he stopped it went haywire, but smoking de sensatised him a bit to it. there has got to be something in it that is keeping my asthma at bay, the way i inhale? the way i breath? i dont know.All i know, is that when i stop, my asthma kicks in, i would wake in the morning having difficulty breathing, Whether it is psycological, or a physiology thing, who knows?.But im trying to find out.

Maybe your body senses a change so it doesnt like it and reacts to it. It will take a while for you to get use to the fact that you are not smoking. You might have to take your inhaler more ? Consult your doctor and see what he thinks. Quote
mumof4 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 i was constantly on both of my inhalers, and last time i ended up on steroids as my asthma went way out of control. Quote
