I am usually good at that.. But today I want to go to bed and sleep until I dont want to smoke and my back and knees quit hurting.. Everytime my totally awesome kids talk to me I am thinking "shut up shut up shut up, do you ever shut up"?

How bout a nice neck and back rub when the hubby gets home? That will usually help my wife if shes cranky.

A little violence can be a real tension tamer. Be reasonable about it and Throw your telephone through a closed window. Then yell at anyone that comes your way to get out, use profanity too. Then take a nap. Always seemed to work for Sandy…my girl.

I would suggest to the guys in this thread to get the hell outta here, there's nothing worse that a woman on PMS that is trying to quit smoking..

I'm outta here, you've been warned..

You need to either be really nice to yourself and lock the door to keep everyone else out - or you need to go shopping alone or whatever you can do away from the house for a while that you like to do.

P.S. Are you trying to quit cigs cold turkey - I chickened out and used the patch - much easier!

Take a word of advice, if you can afford to pay for the cigarettes, you can afford to pay for the patches. I say this because they are not cheap, I bought mine from WalMart and got a generic branch which worked just as well as was cheaper. But the point is....you won't have the withdrawals like going cold turkey, it has something in it to calm your nerves. I took them only 8 out of the 10 weeks, using less potent dosage as I went and took them off before bedtime (gave me crazy dreams) and before I knew it I was off the cigs and never had a second thought about them. Of course,I had no choice - I have COPD (emphasema) and can't go back no matter what, they would kill me.

Jenn, I too quit smoking Monday and am using generic patches. Works OK, but hard to get the stupid adhesive off. Sorry you are having a crazy day. Chocolate helps, Xanax helps too. If you live in California there are all natural meds to help with things like this. LOL

This made me laugh, I can just imagine. Why don't you lock the bathroom door, take a bubble bath, relax, and remember its only 3 days before the worst of wanting a cig is over. I quit 8 years ago. Gum helped me too, started with nicorette, then to regular gum, then quit.

You should be me. For the last few days, I have had a terrible head cold. The only thing that's kept me sane is this website. I'm sniffling and sneezing almost none stop. I's unbelievable, I have sniffed through so many questions today.
