I woke up today, to a new day

I think he has given enough to the situation I wouldn't want to ask more of them .
All I can say is that he and Karen (you too Sue) are the best models of what Jesus wanted us to be like. I felt helpless in the thing but you guys carried of great.

Oh I know, I was just kidding since you brought it up. lol

Thanks for the kind words. I try my best to be a decent person & to help out others when I can.


I did break down yesterday & bummed a cigg from my neighbor. I didn't smoke the whole thing though. I took about 3-5 puffs, put it out & about a half hour later I smoked 3-5 more puffs. I didn't want to but I figured I had to. I had the worst migrane ever. After 1.5 days with a headache & one day with the migrane & I couldn't get rid of it with advil, alieve or sleep. It was so bad I could barely see & god forbid if any noise was made. Ouch! It did help my migrane, it brought it from a migrane to a regualr headache but it did make my neasaus feeling worse. And I haven't smoked one since. I woke up this am with a slight headache still but it is just about gone now. I feel bad but it did help.
So do I count today as my quitting day or not? I only smoked it to see if it would help with my migrane.

No, I think you're ok. I did the same thing, quitting cold turkey wasn't really an option for me. You didn't smoke the whole thing, and I bet it's less than you were smoking before - A lot of people quit by cutting down little by little, so that little bit is ok

Sue, I know this must be a hard thing to do so I think you are doing great. You didn't smoke the entire thing so I think you are doing a really good job. I have seen so many people try to quit smoking and not even last a day. Also Just think on how much money you will be saving after you quit. I know you can do it. Just keep thinking positive and you'll do fine. -hugs-

Sorry I'm a little late on this. I'm glad to hear your doing well, and half isn't bad at all, most people can't just go from cigarrettes to none w/o having 1 or 2 here and there. I have a friend who gets severe migraine, when she feels a headache coming on she'll have 3 shots of expresso (the caffeine dilates the blood vessels allowing for better flow to alleviate the headache) + aleve or tylenol. It doesn't always work, but it might help if you feel one coming on since I think nicotine has the same effect of blood vessels.

Thanks for the tip. I don't drink coffee though, I can't stand the taste even if it means possibly getting rid of a headache. I wonder if a couple bottles of MT Dew or hot Choc, or even the caffine pills would work?

My migrane lasted one day but the headache lasted many days. Today is my first day without a headache since Sat.

Still no cigs!

GREAT job!

Keep it up Sue we are all pulling for you .

[sandragonfly]

heey, how are you doing today??

I think it's perfectly normal to quit slowly. quitting from a couple of ciggies to none was more than a big step. I won't be surprised but only a few puffs was great!

((((a big, big bear hug for you anyway)))) - we love you, girl!!

[pnance]

No headaches since yesterday & still no ciggs!

That's great!!! A couple of bottles of mountain dew or caffeine pills might help if you catch the headache early enough. Hopefully it won't be something you have to test out...

[lv4dogs]

Day #12 and still going strong! No ciggs, no headaches. I rarely even crave one. Thanks for all the warm wishes everyone, they sure do help!
