Anyone cut smoking clean turkey and relapsing pregnant ?

Question

Well I don’t technically think I’m relapsing but it is killing me not to be able to smoke… I’m wondering if it’s just a mind thing or why is it so hard to stop smoking but I definitely believe it’s easy for some others because they have more self control and maybe quite more disciplined than me… Its going on almost a whole week but I feel like I’m dying😩 if I can just stop for about seven more weeks when I deliver and I think I’ll be all right… What are some motivational tips or things I can do to stop thinking about smoking? By the way I don’t smoke cigarettes I was smoking marijuana I have never smoked anything else but weed, please no Judgemental or out-of-pocket comments. Just keep it simple

Answer

Mental addiction is real and it’s hard. Definitely keep busy and even look into counseling it would help soooo much. And just reminding yourself why you’re stopping will also help. Maybe try journaling as well so when those feelings come up you can have a document to show your thought process, vent, and grow from it.

Answer

I’m currently going through the exact same thing. I’m not pregnant, I’m just preparing to look for other job opportunities and I figure I might as well be clean so that I’m not surprised if i get an opportunity and they want to test.
I’m fuckin dying mentally. My anxiety is just going crazy which means I smoke too much lol. Anyone who says this shit isn’t addictive is wrong. I’m feeling really down and anxious about the entire thing but I know this is for the better. I didn’t realize how hard this is and how dependent I am on it.
I’m gonna focus on work, look for other jobs in my free time, exercise more, go outside now that it’s getting nice out, reorganize shit in my house, read, try to start going to bed earlier, find new things to cook and just try to keep a good mindset.
You’re definitely not alone and I think we got this 👍

Answer

So idn how heavy a user you are, but you’ve probably become dependent on it. In severe cases marijuana is addictive. Honestly, if I were you I’d seek out a therapist to see if you meet criteria for marijuana use disorder & to receive treatment. If you don’t meet criteria, they can certainly help teach you coping mechanisms to deal with any withdrawal symptoms & your emotions.

Answer

I smoked during my whole pregnancy with my 2nd child and he came out fine and healthy I did stop a couple weeks before he was due and haven’t had the urge to smoke again

Answer

Just know your baby will be healthy and that should be motivation enough. 
I think it’s harder on you cause you plan on doing it again. I think it would be easier if you committed to stayed away from it. Cause the closer you are to smoking again, the more anxious you’ll feel. 
Deep breathing when ever you get that overwhelming sense that you need weed is good. 
In through your nose for 4
Hold breath for 4
Breath out for as long as you can without getting dizzy. 
Repeat for 2-3 minutes. 
All that anxiety and stress will go away and you’ll feel peace. I promise ❤️ you can do this

Answer

I smoked over a pack of day prior to having our first baby. The day I got a bfp, is the day I quit cold turkey. It was hard for the first week, I sucked on suckers and hard candy to help my cravings. What also helped me quit and never go back is the fact that my husband's mother smoked while pregnant for him. My husband has a lot of issues even now in his adulthood, such as allergies, asthma, sensitive to smells, and coughs up mucus.

Answer

Weed doesn’t have addictive components to it. So it’s more likely that you were addicted to the routine/habit of smoking.
Try finding something to do in place of the times you smoke. A crossword puzzle, chew gum, chew on a pencil, click a pen…a new habit. 
Good luck!

Answer

Oh God you scared me for a second thinking you were talking about cigarettes. 
Girl yes I quit cold turkey twice with both of my pregnancies. It was hard for about a week if that and then I was fine just do other things to distract yourself but I get the feeling!!
