About Me
I spend my free time doing anything creative I can get my hands on and low and behold, not having a cigarette in my hand has not hindered by creativity at all! I feel that smoking has held me back from so many things, I've felt so ashamed (and controlled / pack and half for a while, smoking for 19 years!) and well, when i came here I didn't know what to expect. But I'm here, and one month smoke free as of Feb. 22. Holy Smokes!
Interests
Interior design, fun finds at flea markets, laughing with my friends, painting my condo (again), upholstering furniture (again!) really sappy movies and adventure movies too, dunkin donuts coffee, going to see live music, people watching, writing short stories, soaking in the sun with my toes in the sand, traveling, watching bad television and good TV too (huge LOST fan;) )

Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery
Started smoking at 14 to impress a boy!. 19 years later...here I am...I don't think they're impressed anymore.
Treatments
- Chantix Working / Worked
- Yes-- but it makes me sick often.
- Commit Lozenge Working / Worked
- When I've quit before, these worked well. But then again, i started smoking. There is no box for mental preparation. That is what is different this time.
- Easyway To Stop Smoking Working / Worked
- Loved it. I recommend this book to everyone!! It really gets inside your head.
- Nicotine Patch Working / Worked
- It worked, until I yanked it off and smoked.
- Support Groups Working / Worked
- Couldn't have done it without you all.
Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
Although I successfully lost and kept off 15 pounds two years ago, I still battle the fat girl in my head. I just quit smoking and have gained 6 pounds. Now, I'm obsessed with getting back down so that I can see my cheek bones. I check the smoking addciction site often and thought maybe you all could cheer me on here too. I'm really bummed -- and though I know I'm facing two things at once, it's really important to me to feel good about myself.
Treatments
- Eat Less Working / Worked
- it works, when I do it.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- It's fantastic, but I have a knee injury and can't right now :(
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- I've learned so much, and forever will be a "core" girl.
Open Food Addiction
Had gotten control of my eating before I quit smoking. Now, it's as if binging is the new cigarette. It reminds me of episodes I had in college when I was 50 pounds heavier.
Treatments
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- It only works if I do it!
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) Depressionnot right now...
Treatments
