In reply to:tryed to cut down as i dont want anything to happen to my baby YOUR CHAIN SMOKING AND YOUR 8 MONTHS PREGNANT? Alright. Im out of this thread. god help your child.

IM 8 WEEKS.CANT U READ DO U THINK IM THAT DUMB?????

You are still causing your child permanent damage. Forget about what your doing to yourself.

8 weeks, not 8 months.tee&ezekiel, I don't know what the best method for stopping smoking is (my mother went cold turkey), but you really, really need to stop right away!

Yeah im trying like i havnt had a smoke all day which is good some people say food is the best comfort but i cant keep it down so i think i'll just keep myself busy its wen i get bored i think of having one... thanks...

your in deep shit lady!quiting is a bitch, makes you irritable and pissy and anxious and stressed.I quit and it was a bastard. after about a week I used the patchesff, fthey took about 2 days to start settling me down and then I had to avoid coffee and beer and long drives, all the things I normally did with a smoke in my mouth, what helped most was keeping something in my hand and sunflower seeds. sheling those little bastards with your teeth and tongue keep ya busy but it doesnt replace that cool 'hic' in your throat when you inhale, it helps though. I quit for 9 months and it got better after about 3 weeks then Id get panic attacks and want one but never didf take a dragf. I bought a pack and had one in my mouthf but never lit it, that helpe too if you cna resist lighting it.at 9 months I was feeling pretty damne good and rarely thought about having a smoke. I was on my way to meet some friends for a fishig trip and a dumb bitch of 23 years of age who never had a drivers license and no insurance ran a red light and totaled the mustang (1968 coupe sniff) that I had rebuilt and restored an had an appointment to have painted the following week. while I was sitting there on the curbf fwatching trafficf while an emt was puling glass out of my tricept and trying to stop the bleeding to take me to the ER to get stitched up and looked over, after dealing with an idiot cop who informed I had been drinking because my car smelled like beer (I had a cooler in the truck full of beer and ice for the trip that was to be a 3 day vacation) wanted me to say the alphabet backwards to prove I wasnt drunk, I saw a pack of smokes sticking out of his breast pocket. bummed one and a light from him and have stayed on them ever since. That was in summer of 1993 .I know I could quit again but I really dont want to. You have to decide that you really want to stop or nothig anyone does or says will do you a shit lick of good.take it one day ata time, make small goals like 5 hours and then a whole day then a weekf.You havent really made it until you dont have the number of days weeks months in your headf since you quit.fGood luckffff, your going to need it, the little bastards are harder to fquit then it was when I quit coccaine.

Don't be scared by the horror story above. It's different for everyone. After smoking for many years, my mom quit and stayed "quitted". She was sometimes tempted (like when having coffee after a meal), but she got past it.Maybe hypnosis would help? (I don't really know how effective it is.)

thanks you guys for all the help, i didnt realize i had deleted my post...lols, its quite funny my little brother must have been playing with the buttons..hehe thanks guys xoxo :   

I wasnt trying to scare her, just to state it was a bitch when I did it, its not easy to quit the damned things, its a rough go.My horror story is my own, thousands of people quit and stay quited every day, I just happen to not be one of them.Honestly I like smoking and I dont want to quit, I know the risks and the damages and what it costs me I dont need to be educated about it. Someday I may try throwing the little bastards away again.aside from my own horror show with them it did offer tips on how I did it and if it had not been for the car wreck or even if that emt hadnt of ha them sticking out of his pocket I may well of made it past that 9 months and still not be smoking today. Most people wont face anything like that, just smaller set backs that make you want one.If you really want to quitf you can just be ready for a fight while your body purges the shit out of your system and gets over its need for them.

I know the risks and the damages and what it costs me I dont need to be educated about it. As long as you don't smoke in the presence of non-smokers (especially your kids), that sounds fine.

We dont smoke in the house or garage or the car if the kids are with us. They know I smoke, they have seen it on walks or camping and they know its a dirty disgusting STUPID thing to do.

Actually, The thing about parents smoking, not neccesarily still in the womb, but after they born, is even if they, like me, know its something stupid, they still smoke. For instance, my mom is having some health problems related to her smoking as a teenager, about the same age as me, 14 she started. Regardless my first butt was today. Your kids knowing its a terrible thing won't stop them. You need to stop smoking parents, just stop. If you ever have a craving to smoke, think about your kids. Im not old enough to buy butts, so i share with my friends, they let me take a drag or two. Thats how bad it can be for your kid smoking. Also- Smoking hurts your immune system, and makes you 3 times more succeptible to AIDS, and with a kid who will end up sharing drags with people, that is not a good thing.

Regardless my first butt was today.Why? Why? Why? You know what a stupid thing it is to do, and you see the problems that it causes for other people, including your mom, why would you do it?Hang on...in another thread, you said:> I used to smoke a little bit, barely ever inhaled, only once, about 16 months ago (Im 14 now, i was 13).

He did say in that other thread "Today, was my first real smoke, pretty much ever". I think, like Bill Clinton, he didn't count it when he didn't inhale.Kohakusango, welcome to AfraidToAsk. What you're discovering is that even when you know what is right, it's not always easy to do it. Of course you should try to do the right thing, and the fact that you are asking for help is very good. Your failure today (which does not make you any worse than the rest of us) should remind you that all of us are fallible. I hope that when you give advice to others on other topics, it will keep you from looking down your nose at people who fail in other ways that you happen not to have failed in yet; and I hope you will not blame your failings on other people, while insisting others bear the responsibilities of their failings.When we recognise that we all are weak, we can more effectively support each other.

Let me share a story....My mother has been and still is smoking for 23years now, and during her pregnancy with me. And quess what? I'm not retarded and my brain and everything else is functioning perfectly well. My advice...Smoke less until the baby is born!

That is awful advice. You may be 'fine', but others may not be so lucky. Smoking and second-hand smoke damages your lungs and heart...among other things.

not to mention Orb posted to an old thread.Smoking is HORRIBLE. And the MOST difficult challenge of my life has been quiting. Even not drinking is TONS easier than laying down the cigs. And I havent had one for 2 days...but have been loaded with nicotine. Don't go there orb, its bad no matter how you try to slice it.

well done peps, keep it up the first days are the hardest......you CAN do it!

first, where the hell is that quick reply thingy!! I liked that!Yeah, thanks Angel, but like I said I am still loaded with nicotine. Also, I have done it for a day, a week, two weeks, another couple days....off and on for the last six or seven months. Its HARD HARD HARD!!!I want my mooommmie!!! I just keep trying, maybe this time will be it.
