• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

My wife and I went to get the aricular (sp?) theropy done Jan 7th this year. So it's been almost a month since I have had a smoke.

Also found out that morning that I was going to be a father :clap: :clap: :clap: :D


Well now work is realy getting to me I'm "temporarily" being moved back to my old department where I worked for 2 years before transfering. Well the stress there drives me nuts I just found out yesterday I was going to be going back for an undefined period of time and I can feel the stress already. The past 2 days is feels like trying to quit cold turkey (which the thing we did is but it's like acupunture). I know the only reason I want one is because I think it will calm me down and relax me. Infact I'm pretty sure that my first one would make me high lol.

Any way it's going to be hard to stay a quitter.

God bless!
Raist

Thank you all so much for all the congrats.

I know that I'm being prayed for for the stress thing because I can feel it. It's working and the Lord is with me through all of this I hope and pray I stay strong in this and do not fail him.

Thanks again every one.

God bless!

You can do it man... It's been just over a year since I quit smoking FINALLY, and it's only by the grace of God that I've gotten this far. I still get cravings periodically-- the thing is though, cravings will pass whether or not you give in to them. It's a tough battle, but with God's help you can do it! :thumbsup:

Congrats on your progress and on your impending fatherhood!!! :clap:

Please please please don't give in to that temptation: this is what it will do:

You will feel really gutted you messed up your quit
You will have to go through stronger withdrawels again
Your chest will feel bad again
It will taste disgusting
You will smell awful
You will feel exactly the same as you did before you smoked within about an hour
It will not relax you or remove the stress

The nicodemon is telling you lies!! Stay strong, stay on the wagon!!

CONGRATS ON YOUR FAB NEWS!!

Think of your baby. Do you really want to give your child breathing problems? Smoking causes bronchitis, asthma, frequent illnesses and such in little kids. I sure hope your new baby is more important to you than those cigarettes.
