Hi.....
Just wanted to touch base with my girl and see how your doing.
Your posts sound somewhat upbeat. Glad.
Hey.... you know this feeling well.... have you ever worn the patch, chewed nicorette, and smoked... just about all at the same time?????? (while trying to quit of course.)

Kristi

Kristi,
Buttin' in here cause I do it so well. People have ended up in the hospital for nicotine overdosing...really.
If you're going to smoke, lose the patch and the gum (if that's what you're doing). I'd like to keep you around for awhile.

>No no no... thanx for caring, but that's not what I'm doing. Both of us are trying to quit(me using the patch)... and one time she said she was upset on the patch and started chewing the gum. More a joke thing.... don't worry... I'm actually doing good.... just sometimes the THOUGHT is nice. :-)

Thought? What thought? Who said we could do any thinking, and why the heck didn't anybody tell me about it? I feel really left out of the loop. There goes the whole day!

> Kristi - I'm glad the stop smoking campaign is going ok. To be perfectly honest, I didn't think you stood much of a chance when I found out that you lived in Las Vegas and in a smoking workplace. You should be all the more gratified by your achievement to date even if there are some slip ups. The reward at the end is great. Have you noticed an increase in appetite? Are you snacking more?

Hi Mair,
I know.... that is the MOST difficult part, Las Vegas.. the smoking capital of the world. EVERYONE... including all my friends. That is one good quality that I know I have... and that's willpower... thankfully. But that's not saying it's easy.... I think about it 24/7. I never thought it would be this hard.... But... I've smoked 2(cigarettes) in about a month and a half... where I usually smoke about a pack a day. Yet I still feel guilty... I was weakened twice.I haven't had much increase in appetite... in fact , the opposite which isn't a good thing because I need to gain a little. When I was sick(if you've followed any of my posts) I lost a lot. But now.... after I eat, thats when I crave the most.... so I avoid eating, and I have to stop that!!!!!! One of those...you know you should, but you don't things. This whole thing is mental ... that's what bugs me out.
Are you an ex smoker????????? Sorry to ramble on...... take care,Kristi

Greg - I am quitting smoking with the patch. It is a little expensive, though. I am up to 14 patches a day, but I am running out of room on my body. - Cam

Cam..... that's where I am, day 14. I didn't know they had "clear" patches.... much better.
I know what you mean tho, you run out of spots. Good luck... Kristi

hey kristi,
i'm glad to read you've only smoked 2! i've been smoking socially being a complete BUM, my friends who encourage me to quit smoking always give in and bum to me...i chew the gum sometimes...i'm on the final step of the patch (the little clear ones) and they don't seem to have much of an effect on me.
right now i figure at least as i don't have a pack in my possession, i'm somewhat okay, and i haven't had a pack since august.
i'm okay, riding an upslope while sliding down a slippery one. it's all very confusing right now. i'll post about in a later thread, prally.
how are you? has business at the casino picked up at all?
love ya,
sar

Come on, come on, come on, your my inspiration! I'm just kidding... I know how hard it is to be around people That smoke. My close circle of friends, I made swear to me no matter how hard I begged they wouldn't give in. And they didn't. My girlfriend said to me the other night "if you want one so bad, you are going to go have to buy a pack." Of course I didn't.....

> right now i figure at least as i don't have a pack in my possession, i'm somewhat okay, and i haven't had a pack since august.That's really good!!!!!! It's so hard to stay away from the "trigger points"..... I've been sucking on a lot of those "dum dums"(remember those little lolly pops?)

Aw..... I'm sorry. You have a new man in your life now right? How is that going? Well.. I'll be watching for your "prally" later thread.
> how are you? has business at the casino picked up at all?I'm doing pretty good. Physically things are getting better, altho I'm still "packing" which is very disheartening. I have these little mini panic attacks right before I have to do it... a major smoking trigger point. I'm down to once a day tho.... an improvement. Can't wait till it's all a nightmare.
Business isn't picking up too much, altho I somehow managed to make good money this week. It isn't getting any worse, and that's what matters at this point I guess.
Speaking of which, I never even asked... what do you do for a living? Or hobbies for that matter.
