Idiot Savant--w/ emphasis on idiot
Having a withdrawal moment……
Ya know….THANK YOU!!! I forgot all about that! Peppermint Oil - I used to use all the time when I get a migraine…..Duh?!!! What’s wrong with me?! I should have thought of that. Thank you, thank you! I will stop at the healthfood store on my way home today…. Yeah! Works like a charm….awesome. xoxox
Yeah, it was really nice of him to respond. I really appreciated that, especially since he is doing the same right now. I have (1) day on him… :) So, I hope we can both conquer this addiction and anyone else who might be doing the same right now….it’s the hardest thing!! If I could get past the headache, I could probably tolerate the other aspects of it a little better…. 3 days straight now, constant headache. Meds don’t help…..The thing about the headache is that its constant and is really distracting when you are trying to focus. It plays mind games on you when your in constant distress…..always appreciate the support, so thank you so much!! xoxo
Thanks Aimee! Much appreciated. My 11:30 am stint has come and passed…..I have just about chewed out the inside of my mouth (I know gross)…LOL And my leg is shaking a mile a minute…..my boss is like what’s that noise?? I keep hitting the inside of my desk with my knee…. :) - being in work is not a helpful tool in quitting… alot of my stress comes from here…. but thanks for the support!! I am trying….this is a one day at a time thing for sure. I have failed 3 times already this year….hoping for the best!
xoxo
Usually at 10:00 am every day at work I take a smoke break……It’s 10:05 am right now, and it’s amazing how not only this is a physical addiction (smoking), but such a mental one too…..It’s like my body & mind is totally programmed for these time periods…..I am grateful I am aware of this and will push on through this craving at the moment…..as tough as it is…..next one should be around 11:30 am… So DAMN PREDICTABLE……!stay strong April! I am soo proud of you.. :) I haven’t even gotten this far, I can go a couple of days if I am in the hospital, but not without begging and throwing childish fits to be taken outside for a smoke.. I know you can do this!! :)
hey, I just read Cardinal Cave.. you got a mention!! how freakin sweet is that?? :) that would make my month.. I am so weird… I can give you no advice because I have tried to quit 3 times this last month all to no avail.. but I send you my love and support.. :)
the headach and the drooling.. I drool constantly when I nic and it is what always breaks me down… that probably didn’t help you.. sorry. for headaches have you tried peppermint oil rubbed into your temples??
You can stop smoking just for five minutes at a time. I’m telling you: Wellbutrin really really really made a difference for me. After smoking since I was 13 (I am now 46 and still smoke), once the Wellbutrin reached “therapeutic levels” in my system (for treating depression), I lost a lot of my enthusiasm for cigs. I continue to smoke almost out of fear of the unknown: that of being a non-smoker. I am a damned genius, not? But I’m just saying: consider the pharmaceutical option.
