Glad I'm not alone.

I'm glad I came across this site seeing everyone else have the same issues that I do helps me. I have quit before up to 3 years always going back to the bad habit usually because of a stress induced situation. not this time I am done my 3 year old is too hard to keep up with! this time around is different than the last one I have the shortness of breath and wheeziness. I don't like it but it is part of the healing definitely scary so thank all of you for sharing your issues as well. This Tuesday marks three weeks.

Good Job and I agree that you gain nothing by starting back due to a stress inducter. You invite more stress, every 30 to 45 minutes when you want one again and again. Not One Puff Ever, NOPE. Also Never Take Another Puff NTAP.

Hi Stacydburns a big warm welcome to this lovely quit site and a fantastic well done to you for reaching very nearly 3 weeks quit

I will have your new 3 weeks Winners badge ready and polished for you early tomorrow morning

As for your shortness of breath and wheezing, this should get easier for you as your body clears itself out drink plenty of water, get out in that fresh air and please spit any phlegm you may have into a hanky or something, get rid of it, I know its not very nice, but it will help you and your body to recovery

Good luck Stacy

Hi Stacey,

only a few weeks ago I was in your position and its tough. Even with all my Nicotine patches and gum, I thought about it, a lot....and then not so much....

You never know how your body is going to react, everyone's different.

I have a four year old so my main reason for quitting and staying quit.

I have noticed recently far fewer smokers and as supermarkets/shops are covering them up they are not so "in your face".

As they make it harder and harder to advertise I am hopeful that "temptations" will also disappear. Had terrible flu last week and was bed ridden with aching everything. Didn't cross my mind once, Getting there one day at a time.
