Hi there.
I am quitting with Chantix and the site "getquit" seems to be offline, so I found you! I need support. I have been smoke free for only 12 days, but that is 12 fabulous, awesome, incredible days! I feel so much better already. Smoked over a pack a day for the last 43 years and seemed to be smoking more and more lately. I think about that, and I think of all the money and time I have wasted. I am trying not to focus on the negative and stay with the great future being smoke free holds for me. I plan to move to a place in the mountains that requires a lot of physical activity. I want to be able to function there. The last time I was there, I was short of breath within minutes of walking at that 3500 ft. elevation. This is what I need to do. This is what I want to do. I hate my addiction.
So, when does the feeling of being in limbo stop? How long does it take to stop thinking about cigarettes every other minute? Ugh. I want this to just go away, but I know it will take work.
Any advice is much appreciated. I have never been in an online community (unless you count Facebook) so I am not really sure how this works.
thanks,
Lisa
