This is the worst.
I'm getting the crazies not to mention the chatter in-your-head-thingy. Now, this is withdrawal. ARRGGHH! Is this what my W was going thru dumping OM? I feel like there's a million worms crawling over my skin, I'm dizzy, my equalibrium is of, my breathing is sort of shallow, my throat is draining and my fingers tingle ever so often. Anyone else ever quit smoking? It's been almost 2days smoke free Yiiippppeeee <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

ack! Thanks for the warning! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I was a psycho you-know-what when I quit 6 years ago! But it is well worth it and you will feel so good afterwards! Good luck, my friend.

Thanks Melody, I promised my W if she'd go thru her withdrawal I'd go thru mine <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> besides, what good is doing all this hard work trying to be a better H and father if I let some darn cigarettes take me out? I know I know...I could get hit by a BUS...but what if I don't get hit by a bus? This withdrawal experience is trippy. I keep visualizing myself smoking a cigarette watching the Redskins get their butts kicked by Dallas.

Of course its just withdrawal, I haven't smoked in 2 days, but YES...the Redskins are getting their butts kicked...darn Redskins and darn withdrawal!

Hey man, I was taping that game! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
At least you didn't give me a score (he, he). <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
[relax, just kidding with you]
Sarcasm doesn't "write" very well (at least not for me).

Anyway.......
Hang in there guy....you can do this.
My W quit just about 6 months ago (after doing it for 22 years).
Best part (other then her health) is that she DID it for ME! Ya, imagine MY surprise! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Cause I've always wanted her to stop.
But I put up with it because it just came with the package.
But then after the Heck we've been through she just UP and DID it as a way to PROVE something to me. And guess what?
IT Did Just that! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

(But that first week <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> is a butt kicker)!!
Good night.

FM!!!!!

OK OK...this explains where you've been! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Quit once...cold turkey a few years ago...for 2.5 weeks!...not sure of even why I started again...I would say, has absolutely nothing to do with my compulsive behaviour! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

(Yes...I actually said that for awhile.)

Hey...Keep up the good work on both fronts!

You quit and started again because you're ADDICTED..down with NiCotine! I want my soul back, screw big tobacco. Yeah I'll be around as much as possible, being on the computer is a trigger for me. Oh those were the days, the keyboard, my cigarettes and MB. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Well, I can still have my keyboard and my MB <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />
