    • About Me

      I spend my free time doing anything creative I can get my hands on and low and behold, not having a cigarette in my hand has not hindered by creativity at all! I feel that smoking has held me back from so many things, I've felt so ashamed (and controlled / pack and half for a while, smoking for 19 years!) and well, when i came here I didn't know what to expect. But I'm here, and smoke free as of Jan. 22. 2008 NOT one! Not one teeny time smoke! Holy Smokes!

    • Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      Started smoking at 14 to impress a boy!. 19 years later...here I am...I don't think they're impressed anymore.

      Treatments

      Chantix Working / Worked
      Yes-- but it makes me sick often.
      Commit Lozenge Working / Worked
      When I've quit before, these worked well. But then again, i started smoking. There is no box for mental preparation. That is what is different this time.

      Loved it. I recommend this book to everyone!! It really gets inside your head.

      It worked, until I yanked it off and smoked.

      Couldn't have done it without you all.

      Treatments

      it works, when I do it.

      It's fantastic, but I have a knee injury and can't right now :(

      I've learned so much, and forever will be a "core" girl.
    • Open Food Addiction

      Had gotten control of my eating before I quit smoking. Now, it's as if binging is the new cigarette. It reminds me of episodes I had in college when I was 50 pounds heavier.

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      It only works if I do it!
