Profile Information

About Me:
I am twenty years old. I live in eastern Kentucky. I recently moved here because my mother up and left. She had a really bad gambling problem and needed to get away. I had no option but to go with her because of my economic status. I also felt that she would need support with her addiction. Many people do not understand that there are hundereds if not thousands of addictions out there. Anyway long story short, since i've moved down here (in January...todays date May 30) I became severely depressed. It got to the point where I wanted nothing to do with anybody or myself. I have no job, no friends, and no life. I've never had a situation where I have had to start over and make new friends. Needless to say I went to the doctor and asked him to put me on something for depression. He gave me..tada..Welbutrin. I had no idea that it would help you quit smoking however, I found myself not being less depressed but not wanting to smoke. I saw the ad on t.v. for Becomeanex.org and here I am. I figured that I have medication now and support but most importantly I have the will.

Impatient..

Sorry I haven't been on here in a few days. I have been wrapped up with things going on in my life. Not only am I trying to quit smoking, I am trying to lose weight also. I am finding this to be very difficult. My road trip to Columbus to see my brother graduate was not all that fun. Being stuck in a car with my parents for almost four and a half hours was enough to make me want to throw up..lol. I did ok, I guess. I did not smoke in the car on the way there, but we stopped a couple of times…

The First Car Trip Day Two Separating

Well I woke up this morning and waited about an hour before I had my first smoke. It was a little depressing. I got on here and returned a few messages and got into the shower. As soon as I got out of the shower, I wanted a smoke. So I had one. I kinda felt bad because it had only been an hour. I'm going on my first car trip today without cigarettes, I'm going to see my little brother graduate high school! I do not plan to smoke the entire way there eventhough both of my parents will be with…

Ahh..Day one of separating

I have recently realized that I am very impatient. The type of person that needs instant gratification. What I have had to painfully realize is that quitting is everything but. For the first time today I realized how much I really do smoke. I went from smoking over a pack a day to only 5!! That is EXTREMELY huge for me. I haven't decided to set a quit day yet. I am still trying to figure the whole site out. The only thing that I'm really worried about is the withdraw symtoms. But I'm willing to… Continue

Hey Nick,

Came across your post in first time quitters.

Just wanted you to know that you will always have friends here. People that are here know exactly what is is to try to kick this addiction as well as the others you speak of. Some have been quit quite a while...some are new like you. But everyone here wants the same thing....for everyone to quit smoking and live good long healthy lives, Given your lucky age you will live a much healthier life then most of us especially if you quit now.

You can do this! We are here for you.

Prayers Susan Day 95

hi nick, was just wondering how you are doing today?
At 11:54pm on May 29, 2008, cindy j said…
ya, i used to think the same thing, until i was diagnosed. haha...
i know if it weren't for my meds, i would be flipped out somewhere. luckily, i have a family who is very supportive of me. there are some people who scare me, because of their illness. but most of the time, i am very sympathetic of what they are going through.
well, sweet dreams, talk to you soon.
