Haven't been on for a week. Bad week. But, I wanted to thank all who responded . Brought tears to my eyes! My sister died at age 63 from complications of emphesema. I am 63, and that's really working on my mind. I am GOING to quit May 1. I have the patches and am not worried about weight gain so I can snack away! I am worried about will power. Hope I have enough. My MIL gets on some kind of breathing machine, and then, when her treatment is done, smokes a cig! And I think she's crazy! And then I go home, use my inhaler, and smoke a cig! Addiction is crazy, but I'm going to beat it. The weather is breaking and I'll be able to get into the garden ( I've never smoked in the garden). That will help. Both my DD quit. That will help. You guys talking about your experiences wii also help. Susan

Morning all,

Ok so I went to the doctor for peace of mind and yes it is anxiety. I need to remember to breathe long deep breaths lol. I am not one to go to the doctor but this feeling had me worried for awhile, just hope it goes away soon.

I had a smoker at my house yesterday and I stepped outside for a minute after my run and the smell hit me in the face. I have no desire to smoke, I dont really even miss the smoking part. I do miss what a fresh pack of Marlboros smell like lol.

We can do this!

Susan, we are happy to hear that you set a quit date for yourself. The patch shouls help you out a lot, just try to keep busy and change your routine. I used to grab my coffee go outside and smoke. Now I have my coffee upstairs in the morning, watch tv and stretch instead of smoke. Seems to help a lot.

Judy, it sounds like you love to garden but you might have to cut your time out there until you get used to being a non-smoker. I miss sitting outside with my dogs in the evening but I still have trouble doing that. I dont know what to do with myself when I go out there now, sometimes I bring a toothpick with me which seems to help.

I feel like I am blabbing on now but I dont really have anyone else to talk to about this. So glad you are all here!

Thanks all! =)

PLEASE don't feel like blabbing isn't ok.

It's what i do when i come on here as it helps me get through the rough times

So dr said anxiety.

Well i'm glad to know that's it for your sake

i just keep thinking it's too long for me but be like this but with our moves and adjustements to all these 'changes' i guess we might just be too hard on ourselves.

i look forward to hearing from others.

it really helps me.

i guess the garden will have to wait as the porch is calling now.

WILL TRY TO GET BUSY.

lol that is funny you say that, I love the way matches smell! I had a pack of matches the other day and I lit one in the truck. Right as I did that BF comes around the corner and busted me lol. He thought it was funny, he knows I love that smell.

I can at least say bf soon to be dh has been very supportive through this, I couldnt ask for more from him. He has been so helpful except, he wont let me do the dishes after dinner and when I first stopped smoking I really really needed to wash them lol. I would tell him, no its ok I really need to wash these. haha. ;)

Thanks Mushroom........(what is your name :lol: ) I'll call you mushy ............

Oops, sorry, rudeness in not identifying self. Please don't call me mushy--sounds like squishy, oozy, slimy, wishy washy... not good.

Whole long story about my name. Don't normally use it on here 'cos it's usually radically mispronounced. Neroli, rhymes with verily (I say unto thee), but usually (except in NZ or Italy) comes out as Nero Lie, or NarOly. To those with bad ears or warped sense of humor comes out as Nearly, which becomes Almost, Not Quite, or Just About (this from much younger days working in a coffee house frequented by US Operation Deep Freeze guys). So while resident in U.S. called myself Lee until I underwent an identity crisis and reclaimed my name. Patti (I believe) coined "the shroom" which is heaps better than squishy (or nearly).

Loved being in Italy; I want to be where everyone knows (how to pronounce) my name!

At any rate, let me say hi. I feel I know you all because I lurk a lot on the Psillies thread, but haven't posted because me psilly went south for a long while. Been taking lessons. :lol:

Shroom, me friend, we have to help you get your silly back! (BTW, those lessons are paying off nicely ;) ) :D I think your real name is beautiful, but I can understand how much of a pain it is to have it mis-pronounced all the time :angry:

Ok.....getting back to being a cheerleader for all the smoke-quitters :rolleyes: You guys are the best ! :wub: Happy Saturday!! :D

Oh Judy!!! :lol:

You do make me laugh!! ;) ..... but seriously, I KNOW you can kick this!!!!!!!!

It's been 2 years since I gave up, in the beginning I was 'a smoker who didn't happen to be smoking'

Now, without a doubt I am a 'non smoker'

It creeps up on you - the knowledge that you'll NEVER go back to it :D

....now, if I could just lose that 15pound I put on when I gave up... <_<

HI all

msmini14 Enthusiast

Morning all! How is everyone doing?

Glad to hear you made it through Judy! lol, I know is tough being gluten-free then not even being able to smoke at a get together.

Can anyone give advice on how to relax while going through this change? What helped you when you quit?

Valium! :lol:

I like the perspective that it's easier to replace a habit, rather than quit. Can you add in something? Do a yoga stretch when you're thinking of a ciggy? Learn to twist a coin through your fingers? Juggle?

msmini14 Enthusiast

lol mushroom you are funny :lol:

It isnt so much the crave, I dont want to smoke. I am just tense, I know it will get better over time.

I do stretch in the mornings now instead of smoke, which is great. I dont have to go out in the cold anymore lol.

I hope everyone is doing good today!

mushroom Proficient
I am just tense,

That's where the Valium comes in. Seriously, could not have slept at night (which is only time I took it) without it. My muscles were rigid and aching.

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info
