Fed up,..god only knows why, fed up of being fine one min and then down the next and then feeling sorry for myself!!! what the.... If that no-smoking nurse tonight is one of them patronising (never smoked) people then I will just take it out on her.... :D:eek::mad::confused:

[nsd_user663_11476]

Sounds like a brilliant plan. Bet you hoping she is one of them:mad:

Seriously though, lets hope she is switched on and able to give you the support you need right now. Otherwise feel free to take it out on me.

[nsd_user663_10813]

you are one of our quit buddies remember.

and rage is good sometimes -directed at right person [and internally I hasten to add through punching a pillow etc]

hang on.xx

It will pass, stay strong and when it has passed you will have every right to feel very proud.

This place is great when you just need to lash out, shout out or otherwise "out"!

Looking forward to reading the post to let us know your feeling better.

Hey guys,

No smoking woman wasn't too bad, seemed a little bit peeved that I had quit on my own before going to her!? Must be an ego thing....Also to "save time" she had me and another guy in at the same time...charming...talk about support and privacy!! Also she kept checking the information sheet she had when explaining what Champix does to the stranger beside me as she seemed to keep forgetting lol oh dear,...it was funny

Anyway she is changing my patches from 21mg to 15mg starting this week and 24hr down to 16hr because I havent slept well at all. I blew a two on the machine though which is good right?

Just thought I would pop on anyway and say hi, a bit fed up (it angers me because i know I have loads to be happy about but its just there!!) Going to try and get a good sleep x Hope everyone is ok.

Drives me mad Kitkat, quitting smoking sucks! Our temp smoking fan is not amusing me today, not one bit, it just irritates me instead because I have got it on me went out at lunch had loads to do...can people walk any slower? It seemed people were literally blowing smoke in my face, it stank. Rushed round town like a loon, no shop having what I needed...a man begging me for money whilst smoking....I could have kicked him!! :mad: Harsh I know but at the time....grrrr

x

[nsd_user663_7469]

Sky go back and kick him, what right has he to beg when he has cig in his hand, if he can afford to smoke then he shouldnt be begging, and today I feel angry with the world so kick him twice once for me

And 2 on blower is good for the start it goes down to 1 eventualy.

They like you to be on their list from the begining so they can say they were the reason you quit, points make prizes LOL

Rollercoaster for sure isn't it!! I am doing ok today, been in better spirits for the last two days although that could change at any time lol how about you? I am taking B50 vitamins too, might help you it is full of b6 which balances out the hormones and calms your nervous system at times of stress and I would say quiiting smoking is definately at the top! lol x

Depression is common in the short and long term. In the short term we can simulate the grief felt when a loved one is lost. Why stupid as it sounds, a smoker should plan in real time of mourning for the early withdrawal through the depression.

Ha, I know that feeling very well. On my previous cold turkey attempts I have almost always dissolved into tears (normally only about 9 hours in :o- ), and when it happened i could never find the willpower to not reach for a fag. Well done for coping so well!

[nsd_user663_15147]

I found tai-chi useful, great breathing excersises... people laugh at me but at least I've (more or less!) stopped bursting into tears for no reason!
