Ladyjane14 Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 I did really well when I was pregnant and nursing my kids. Went cold turkey both times. I couldn't live with the horrible guilt of 'sharing' my cigs with my unborn babies. I've gone creeping back both times because I'd get into a stressful event, and couldn't cope without being a huge b*tch. Insane. I know. All I know is that at my age, I'd rather continue smoking if having more babies is the only way to quit!!! I'm too old for all that. Diapers and 2 a.m. feedings? Nope. Not gonna happen. I really do need to get off of them though. My parents both have smoking-related illnesses. Neither one of them have been able to quit either. I've been reading at http://www.quitnet.com. They have a pretty good support network, but I still haven't screwed up enough nerve to set a quit date.........again. I had some limited success with Wellbutrin/Zyban last attempt, but I've been getting a little elevated blood pressure from time to time so I can't use that. My doctor recommended Zoloft for me, because it's not that I can't tolerate the cravings...it's that I can't tolerate the moodiness. So, I'm hopeful that I'll have better luck with that. ...Whenever I get the nerve to set that quit date.
