Richie, I remember you from the old days and just wanted to welcome you back and cheer you on.
Those people you speak of would each want you to never give up and just do what you need to do to make it to better days ahead.
Glad you are here.
Hugs

Thank you Ann. And the rest of you. I wrote a long reply last night but there were the technical issues. Suffice it to say I glad I found my way back here. Now lets see if it works this time.

Still trudging along. Tonight I have my grandson with me which helps a lot. Its still the dreams at night that get to me the worse. I know it was like this when I quit before. Over time they will get less and less.
At least this time I have the support of my family and I am determined never to smoke again!

I quit smoking 18 days ago. I'm having very weird dreams, I'm constantly irritated n have headaches n I still feel slightly paranoid n uncomfortable like when I was smoking which is why I quit because it's making me self conscious n giving me depression and anxiety. Just wanted to say this to get it off my chest . I can slowly feel myself getting better but it's very difficult sometimes to get thru all this. I can't go back to smoking otherwise everything is going to fall apart again n I don't want that to happen. I can't take it anymore . Smoking weed has changed me to the point where I don't feel like myself n I've been smoking everyday for the past ten years ( minus a few attempts at quitting ) n I can see how I've completely lost myself n who I am. I need to stay sober so I can be happy again n start feeling like myself again.

I want a hit tonight more than any night since I quit! Not gonna let it happen though. Yesterday I tested negative for the first time on my home test strips. Gonna test myself again tomorrow and if that's good I'm gonna hit the road with my resumes. I believe if I hadn't been laid off I probably would have never quit smoking. So I'm grateful it happened even though it's pretty tough to deal with right now. Thank God for my kids and ,of course, my grandson.
