Dh was just passing threw to go back to work n brought me McDonald's breakfast and I'm still hungry lol

 

[bexxc]

[annie00]

Lol it was just wish I had more lol... Hehe..

Man I'm sitting here beating myself up over ciggarites it's killing me that I can't kick this horriable habbit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like a horriable parent and selfish!! It's horriable
And I called my dr and the patch isn't recommend

 

[bexxc]

if your doc doesn't want you using the patch, what is recommended?

 

[annie00]

Call a help line!! Wtf is that gonna do I mean really all there gonna do is talk to me freak I have a addiction ya know what I mean I don't need a damn counciler kinda thing ...
I'm sorry I'm just havin a hard time

 

[bexxc]

oh i understand. quitting smoking is really hard. it took me a good 4 or 5 tries over several years to actually do it.

 

[annie00]

Last time I quit I quit on the patch in high school and I started after a yr of quitin.. Been smoking since but I went from a pack a day to 4-8 a day but hell I want to stop all the way..
I thought once I got preggo it would be as simple as seeing that bfp on the test and it was over kinda thing wrong!!!!
I honestly don't understand why a patch isn't better for the baby since its just nicotine and not all the crap in a cig.. Kwim?

 

[bexxc]

i don't really understand why the patch wouldn't be better. it seems like it would have less chemicals and be less harmful than smoking.

 

[annie00]

I totally agree!!! They didn't say I couldn't they said it wasn't recommended !!!

 

[bexxc]

so did they say you're just supposed to stop smoking?

 

[bexxc]

also, i've heard that if you can manage to quit before 14 weeks then the risk to the baby is greatly reduced. i don't know if that's something you can manage, but maybe it'll be a good goal to strive for. since you can space out quitting over a few weeks it might be easier.

 

[annie00]

They said either way stop all together r even cutting back was better for the baby... Like today I have had only 3 all day an it's almost 4

 

[bexxc]

that's really good. if it helps at all, here's what i did when i quit: i allowed myself 4 smokes a day to start, but every time i wanted a one, i only smoked half of it. that way i tricked myself into feeling like i got to smoke 8 times a day. the next week i went down to 3 a day (but again, just half at a time), then 2 the next week, and 1 the week after that. after that, just stopping didn't seem so hard.

 

[annie00]

Wow bexx that helped out a lot I'm gonna start doing that and only smoke half each time and that's gonna be my goal is 14 weeks!!! I hope n pray I can do it!!!!

 

[bexxc]

i know you can do it! smoking more often but not as much made it seem like i wasn't depriving myself of smoking. i'll keep sending you happy baby, healthy lung vibes!

 

[annie00]

Thank u do much!!! Ur the only one that has faith it seem dh just fusses me for it lol men

 

[bexxc]

your dh should really be on board with you! frickin boys. they've actually shown that even 3rd hand smoke--that icky smell that's left behind on clothes, skin, hair, furniture, etc. once a smoker is done smoking--can be bad for the people around you too- especially kids. you should kick him in the ass lol.

 

[bexxc]

[annie00]
