Going mad

One more thing eat can not stop its all I do anyone the same or is it just me god hope not
Yeah, the kids like to test your limits.. I think they were doing it before too, but you were all satiated by nicotine so it just didn't bother you so much. I wanted to sell my kids for the first week or so.
My wife was supposed to quit, but she was freaking out and thought I was intentionally pushing her buttons for amusement. She got upset and started smoking again. I keep encouraging her to quit, but I just wish she would have the consideration not to smoke next to me or in the car with me, its hard enough quitting without her blowing smoke in my face.
Yes, I find that I can eat non-stop as well. I treat the urge to eat the same as the nic-cravings.. I mostly ignore them, but occasionally snack on carrots or celery. I figured that was a much better habit to get on than chips, pretzels, and junk, even though thats what I would prefer to have.
Good luck, and keep up the good work. It does begin to get easier. I am on day 33.
Hi Selina, It's not just you. You are normal, most people seem to want to eat more and I think we all think we are going quite mad at times. I know exactly how you feel but from my experience, I don't think the kids are actually worse, I think they are the same but you just don't have that vice, no excuse to escape them for 5 minutes. Kids will always be kids, sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes adorable, sometimes not so much but we love them all the same, they'll always be this way whether we smoke or not. It's how we deal with it that makes a difference. I changed my attitude and found that the kids actually helped me so much. I found I loved being around them more & more & kept myself busy with them instead of trying to escape them & have a smoke. Why would I ever choose spending time with cigarettes than spending time with my kids?? that's how bad this addiction is! We all need a break, that's for sure but there's better & healthier ways to do it. They have kept my mind off smoking more than anything. I couldn't wait for them to get home from school so we could do homework and play together. I'm now present in their lives and enjoying every second & so are they. Good luck with it and read as much as you can on this site, you will get there, it's very doable. I've done it, you can too!
