Quoting Luke's Mama:“ I quit my entire pregnancy too and started back up about a month after he was born   Worst decision ... [snip!] ... was born   Worst decision I ever made!! My boyfriend smokes too so its sooo hard to quit living with a smoker!! Any advice?!?!”

My SO is a smoker too, that's why it's hard for me too, idk. It's harder for him to quit though. I am looking for an answert to this prob. too; it is not good at all for our babies.

I am a SAHM and I know how hard it is but it must be harder for my SO bc everybody at his work smokes. I had my last cig. yesterday so I'm starting clean again. Good luck to you too.

I'm starting over again tomorrow.....dun dun DUNNNNN!  
I keep trying different things.......cold turkey worked last time so I'll do it that way again....grin and bare it.

Quoting Splooge-For-Brains:“ but i don't wannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnna!”

hahahaha. i couldnt have said it better myself

I quit about 1 1/2 years ago, I stopped smoking on New Years 2008! I just did it for me! It was the hardest thing I have ever done or so I thought. Now I'm battling one of the harderst thing ever.... WEIGHT LOSS i think trying to lose 25 lbs is way harder than quitting smoking! I do feel better that I have given up that nasty habit, it was very stressful I cried and was very moody all over a little cig. and i will tell you there was not a day when i didnt want to pick up one and just choke on it. but now after almost 2 years i can careless about it. It does get easier as time goes on. It takes about a year to quit. the first month is the hardest! but it takes about a year to get over the "I want a cig" But as long as you stay strong and just keep telling yourself that its what you want and smoking is nasty then you will be alright. Good luck to anyone that is going to quit.

I had my last cigarette this morning. I'm leaving work in an hour and that is the worst time for me. I have smoked a pack a day for 15 years. I dont know what to do without one. I dont remember life without them. I smoke when I'm bored, hungry, stressed, driving and when I drink. But.... lately I'm ashamed to smoke inthe car I feel like everybody is watching me. I have started working out and feel like shit becausewhen I'm done I light one up. Plus I'm walking and realllly want to run. I wake up int he morning and my lungs feel so full of smoke. I cough I'm out of breath going up stairs. My breath stinks my clothes stink. Its just nasty! And I still realllllly want one.....

I quit today. I had two puffs of a cigarette and tossed it. I can do this I'm strong. Although, I havent had a positivie pregnancy test just yet, I'm two days late, and severly constipated....and I'm never late and only constipated when I'm pregnant and / or taking pain medications and I'm not taking any pain medications so my guess is I'm pregnant. Confirming Friday.

i quit BOTH times while i was pregnant and BOTH times started back up again..im so mad at myself for doing it. 

Last June when i found out i was pregnant i quit smoking...with every intention of starting back after i had him..then my husband decided he doesnt want me to, but that it was up to me (but boy men are good at making you feel guilty) so here i am 6mths after having the baby and i have smoked twice..I dont feel.like I need to smoke anymore, but enjoyed smoking and would love to be able to just sit and have a cup of coffee and a cig, IT SUCKS

Ever since I had my baby I REALLY want a cigarette. I know I can't have just one, and I won't give in.

Cigarettes are evil.. I've never had anything control me like this before. I know the nicotine will leach into my breastmilk, but I still really really want a drag. I'm even starting to justify having a drag...after all, I didn't for 10 months.

but but but...

you're doing so good!

cigarettes are just the nastiest shite on the planet (i mean, aside from shoving rotten ox dung into a paper and smoking it-- although now that i say it, i STILL think cigarettes are nastier).

don't do it!!! you have the power!!! *makes he-man sky-peircing knifing motion*

yeah yeah I know...thanks...
it's only when I'm kind of exhausted that I want one.
I associate fun times staying up all night studying, with coffee and cigarettes...with cigarettes. I miss my old life, school and whatnot.
I don't study anymore. I don't pull fun all nighters. I generally don't even drink more than 12 ounces of weak drip-coffee dark roast per day.
I'm exhausted for a very different reason.
And I don't smoke. Not going to. But I do want to.

That's the pure evil of cigarettes. Whatever you did or felt when you smoked is completely associated with the cigarettes. Like I associate the feeling of sleep deprivation with a nicotine high (which kept synapses firing in the absence of sleep). I'm sure you know more about nicotine's effects on the brain than I do what with your PhD-level background in neuropsychology...anyway...I won't.

I just said I wanted one, that's all...

i totally know what you mean about the all-nighter and ciggies.

i used to smoke and that was the one time i really would smoke, back in college.

fortunately for me, it never quite hooked me. the longer i went w/out, the less i enjoyed them... until one day, whilst drunk-ish (pre-max), i lit up a cigarette, thinking it would be a fine time (as you do when you're drunk and have a craving for a cigarette), and it tasted like utter ass... right from the first drag-- which used to be the best drag.

ever since, i've been able to remind myself of just how disappointing and disgusting that first drag was and happily forfeit any delusions that a little drag while drinking would even be enjoyable.

Yeah...see...the longer I go without, the more glorious the nicotine rush. Pssssh. I shouldn't even think about it. I actually told my husband this morning that I've been thinking about smoking and he was horrified. But...he smokes a cigarette once a week, he knows exactly why I want one. If it wasn't difficult to quit, he could just not have that one cigarette every week, right?

Social smoking and smoking-smoking are two completely different beasts. You are lucky you never really got hooked. For awhile I was just smoking when I went out, then I realized I went out a whole lot (like every night) because I was addicted to cigarettes.  And then I was a smoker for 3 years. I justified it by being in pretty good physical shape...better than doing nothing I realize, but still not a correct way of thinking.
