Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
That is right in two days I will officially be a Non-Smoker. I am at a carton a day in preparation... just kidding down to a pack a day. Doc has given me the step 1 nicotine patch. I have tic-tacs orange to help. But most of all I have some serious house cleaning to do to help me stay distracted.
My diet has been going good and if I can keep at it with the withdrawal I hope not to bloat up like a non smoking balloon. Thursday will be a busy day getting rid of ashtrays an stuff. I have taken the weekend thru Monday off so I can sleep through the worst of it if I have to.
I know you all are supportive and I really appriciate it. There is one thing I am looking for though. I saw a list once of a time frame of changes I can expect in my physical feelings, like taste changing, breathing easier, etc. If anyone has or knows where I can find a list like this again I would be forever grateful.
Anyone wants to quit with me hey the more the merrier!

Good for you. I love your optimism and spirit. You can do it!
I wasn't aware of the physical changes--although, duh of course there would be--but I know that there can be some sense of "grieving" that goes along with it. I hope your doc has prepared you for that as well, although it sounds like you're surrounded by support.
This is coming from a non-smoker, just to be transparent. Just the friend of many successful quitters, so I know you'll be able to join the ranks
Hmmm. Maybe I could give up COokies? Yeah, no more nice, warm, tollhouse morsels for me.....oh, wait. I've already Given up cookies.
*sigh* Um, I can give up Chocolate....I haven't given up That....(no! No! I don't WANNA give up chocolate!!)
Maybe I can give up posting about food. Or smoking. ...I could try to give up my Parents....yeah, I could live with that. And maybe give up...give up.....
Nope. Can't think of Another thing I want to give up.
Uh, I'll keep thinking....I really don't want you to "give Up" things Alone
:/

"never take another puff"
You can do it !
20 min : blood pressure and pluse rate return to normal
48 hours : Better sense of smell and taste
72 hours : can test 100% nicotine free
10 days : the average ex-user experiences less than 2 craving episodes per day, each lasting 3 min or less
2 weeks : recovery feels stronger
2-3 months : lung function improves, heart attack risk falls
3 months walking is easier, any cough likely to dissapear
It is the time about the change of taste and smell that motivates me. I know I will smell the smoke on things but I will also get to taste food more. (watching the diet of course.
Thanks for the support everyone less than 24 hours until I become a Non-Smoker =)
