    Hi Guys,

    Well it has been 3.5 days since I had a smoke...I know your probably sick of hearing about it but, I really depend on your support here.

    (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((FOURM)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

    There has to be people here that have quit.Did you have the shakes just from quiting smoking? I have had some real long days and nights.

    I have drank water, walked a million miles,chewed gum and even took up knitting to keep my hands busy but cant get over how much I am

    shaking. I just wondered how long it will last......I just wish this terriable feeling to go away..........I'm hangin in there,but very depressed..

    Im assuming, it is the withdraw from the nicotine,but wonder if I should see the doctor about it......thanks for your advice.....

    Sounds awful!, why don't you go and see your doctor and get some nicotine patches to give you some help?

    After all if you went to see him with a chest infection and he offered you some antibiotics to help you over it, you wouldn't refuse them and say no thanks I'll manage it on myself would you?

    Just a thought.

    Be Strong, but get some help

    (((((((((("M"))))))))))) Hang tough......you will love yourself for it. I have never been addicted to nicotine........only an occasional stogie or pipe so I can't advise. Remember how you felt about discovering your childs participation in this vice? Do it for him/her....I suspect you are.

    You have all my support. And admiration.

    Have you done a search for prescriptive medicines that aid in quitting smoking? Zyban is one. There are patches and so forth, as Scooby mentioned. Please don't suffer more in quitting than is absolutely necessary!

    Best wishes. I do hope the shakes stop soon. I hope your son takes note, too.

    I have never smoked but hubby quit when we met 4 1/2 years ago. (It was a choice between me or the smokes) He won!!

    He had a real hard time of it at first. He is hyper to begin with but the withdrawal put him over the top.

    Your body is going to react to not having it's fix.

    Sounds like you are doing all the right things but you might want to even give your pharmacist a call. Sometimes they can be a good source of info about how bad reactions can get.

    it'll pass. I stopped and for 5 days it was unbearable. That was 13 years ago. Do I want a smoke? No, but for the first 8 years, every waking moment. But it was something controllable. Don't give up, it gets easier everyday. My trick was Minties, got addicted to the damn things, gotta watch you don't pull fillings out with them.
