Impish Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Word of advice: Just don't. Seriously. I was feeling a bit out of sorts, so I announced to Tazzie that Mommy had quit smoking this weekend! Isn't that great? Isn't it wonderful? Aren't you proud of Mommy? He looked at me and said, (I quote), "Meh" and wandered off. *sigh* Princess, overhearing this exchange, at least came and stuck her hand out at me for a high five. She then wandered off too. I need a better cheering section. Maybe if I bribed them with cookies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impish Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Thanks for the suggestion. I'm just all...eeep!...right now. Not anxious, exactly...but feeling like I should be *something* if that makes sense. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD4 told me last night that my (new, cheerful, for-once-not-plain-white-or-beige) underwear "are really big!" :glare: Stinkin' kid... And I agree, congratulations on quitting! It's a very big deal, you should be proud :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillian Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) i highly recommend exchanging something there when you want a cigarette and not food lol. i substituted in exercise (pre-kiddo). I quit smoking in 2005, and replaced the urge with working out. i loved seeing and feeling my breathing get better and i was able to not feel my lungs burning. however i highly recommend finding a healthy replacement...you can do it and congratulations on quitting! eta: i quit 5 years ago in march :) Edited April 26, 2010 by jillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Congratulations! it will take a while for that feeling to go away. And I totally agree with not using food as a substitute. I packed on quite a few pounds after I quit smoking 8.5 years ago, just from shoving things in my mouth when I normally would have been smoking.

Sasharowan Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 August will be 12 years for me. I spent the first week playing solitaire with an actual deck of cards, not on the computer, while my oldest, who was 2 at the time, watched tv. It was hard at first, but now I can't imagine having ever smoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
