Alright Ladies
I'm in need of some help from all those who have quit smoking or are currently trying to quit. I'm on second month of TTC and I desperately want to quit smoking. I have been trying for 6 months to quit but it's extremely hard for me to slow down or stop cold turkey, because I'm so used to the motion of moving my hands to my lips and so used to smoking I'll grab cigs unconsciously and realize what I'm doing after I'm over halfway finished. I currently tried to quit over the weekend, I went away with my boyfriend and brought absolutely no cigs. I made it about a day and a half before I absolutely lost control of my temper and was going off over almost everything and snapping at my boyfriend and before I suddenly started feeling the same sharp pains in my upper abdomen I always get when I try to quit cold turkey, I also ended up with the worst migraine I've ever gotten. My boyfriend ended up giving me a couple because of how awful I was being and how awful I felt.
I really want to quit. I have slowed down alot since I've been gone the weekend, I went from about a pack a day to 3 or four in 3 days but since I've been home, which has only been for about 5 hours, without realizing, I've smoked around 6-7 cigs and the number is only so low because I took a 2 hour nap due to how exhausted I was.
I am begging anyone for tips on how to quit. I try to distract myself until cravings pass, but it doesn't seem to work. I've tried so many things. I can't get the nicotine gum to help, due to it makes me vomit for hours. Whatever the adhesive on the patches makes me break out in an awful rash so that's out. I really want to quit, not only because I'm TTC but because my health has been so low and I'm constantly sick since I started. I've been smoking for about 5 years.
If anyone knows anything, anything at all, please comment. I'm willing to try anything
