Electronic Cigarette New York City – Quitting Smoking During Pregnancy Made Easy
Sunday, September 25th, 2011Is this progress for quitting smoking?
Sunday, August 21st, 2011I have smoked for 7 years. I have tried to quit using the electronic cigarette but it didn’t work as I feel I am addicted to the habit, routine, more than the nicotine itself. My doctor prescribed me the nicotine patch. I have been using it for 2 weeks. I smoke a pack a day (20 cigarettes). When I began the nicotine patch, it worked like magic, no desire hardly at all for a cigarette. I have been smoking one am cigarette and one pm cigarette as a reward to myself for not smoking during the entirety of the day. I know it sounds silly, but that really does motivate me. I cannot seem to find the strength to say, I will never have a cigarette ever again. Anyways, I smoke a pack a day so I should have started step 3, the 21 mg patch but instead the doctor gave me the step 2 14 mg patch cause i lied about how much I smoked, saying I only smoked 10 cigarettes a day. It is a 24 hour patch but I only leave it on for less than 12 hours, ultimately giving me only 7 mg’s of nicotine and my 2 cigarettes which are another 2 mg’s. I have been doing this for 2 weeks, is this good progress? In a few days when I run out of cigarettes I will be stopping the am and pm cigarette as I will not be buying more. Does this sound like I am progressing successfully to quitting?
The E-Cigarette worked like magic for me, better than the patch. But the product broke about every 3 weeks. We used Blu. We got a new one for free every time but the time without the device I had to smoke again so it was more detrimental cause I hated having to resort back to real cigarettes and start all over again
How to deal with Quitting Smoking?
Saturday, July 2nd, 2011So I quit cigarettes on Sunday the 10th of April. I was really excited to quit, I received the E-Cig in the mail and thought this was going to be a lot easier with it’s help. I know all the reason’s I want to quit and I know in the long run it’s the best thing for me and my family. So why then is this so darn hard. I thought the Electronic Cigarette would be the cure all, and I could wean myself off the Nicotine little by little. The truth is, the damn thing just frustrates me, gives me a nasty headache, and makes me feel sick to my stomach and silly. Yes, I know its not the same thing, but I was really hoping for something that would make this easier. I never thought it was going to be a piece of cake but I never expected to feel the way I have been feeling for the past 4 days. I’m in a lull, and don’t know where to go from here. I don’t want to do anything, because it all makes me want a cigarette. Cleaning the house, answering the phone, eating, playing with the dog, having my morning coffee, playing with the kid out side, talking with my husband, going to bed, everything I have ever done for the past 13 years, I have either smoked through or had a cigarette right after it. On top of wanting or being reminded of having a cigarette, I feel so angry. I resent my 3 year old and also the New born, (Probably doesn’t help I am also going through a little postpartum.) and I have nothing but anger towards my husband. I think the only one I’m not angry at is the dog and it’s because he some how knows enough to steer far away from me. If I could just curl up in a hole and sleep for the next how ever long it will take to get through this I would. I don’t want to be around anyone and all I want to do is scream at everyone and everything that comes remotely close to me. When I smoked before it was my way of getting away from a situation and thinking things through over a cigarette. I guess it was a stress reliever for me, and my way of getting away. I was able to push a lot of feelings away or over come them with just that five minutes of smoking a cigarette. It was the only break I got in a 24 hour day. Now I have no where to go and no one to talk to. Just the stress and pressure I have reeling around in my head. On top of quitting smoking, my life has pretty much been turned upside down. We have been re-stationed to Fort Rucker AL,and I hate it here, we are in complete an utter Dept, with about 200 dollars, to live off of for the month, which has to buy everything for the new born, food for the month, gas, and all the other necessities. I know I have things much better then most, for sure, but right now, all i feel is frustration and anger. I don’t know what to do and it’s only been 4 days, and I could drive my car off a cliff. I have more restraint not to do that, but I don’t want to feel like I could every day for the rest of my life just because I quit smoking. I don’t want to resent my kids cries, or my husbands touch, or my own being. I know that as I write this all down, it sounds so silly, but it’s how I feel and I can’t escape it. Please some guidance would be appreciated, and you can tell me to suck it up pansy all you want. But I don’t think sucking it up will work this time.
Thanks for listening.
