Hi everybody, Please remind me again what are the advantages (except health issues) of quitting. Because now I am really questioning my decision to quit. I am very unhappy, very depressed, very tired, very unfocused, very forgetful, very bitter, very angry; not very fat, but will probably get there. And this is all on day 29. How much more? I am 57 years old. Will I have to live like that until I am 60, 70? If yes, than what am I gaining, except weight? I can totally understand younger people's quest for not smoking. But at my age? What do I have to look for? Every day struggle with Nicodemon? Every day depression and anger? I know that it will go away eventually, but I don't have luxury of time. I know that you will say that this is junkie talking and it probably is. But this how I feel. I am not saying that I will start smoking again in a few minutes or hours. I am just questioning timing of my quit. To me it is too late in life to really enjoy advatages. I am probably wrong, but his my honest opinion. Thank you for listening.

alexia... You are 57... your life is not over. You have many good years ahead of you and will have even more now that you have quit smoking. Sounds like you are in that 30 day pit that we talk so much about. Yes it sucks. I cried and cried and whined and never thought anything would be "normal" again. But it passes. Things are not going to be the same as you have known them for all these years. They will be better. I know it doesn't seem like it now. I thought people were full of it when I was at this stage of my quit. Take some deep breaths, have a "me" day. You do have the luxery of time. Think about this: If you continue to smoke, get cancer and are only given a couple of months to live, when you are lying on your death bed with all your loved ones around you, you will be wishing for just one more day with them. Wishing you had quit smoking. Wishing you had more time. Don't sell yourself short. You are fighting for your life here and it is worth it. Believe in yourself. This is an awful time in the quit. Probably the worse time in the quit but you can survive it and you will not regret it, I promise.

You know the answers to every one of the questions you asked in your post. Don't you? The addict in you is talking - don't listen. Don't rationalize. Stay strong and remember why you quit in the first place. Don't let your guard down. I don't care how old you are, stop smoking and your health will improve, period. You can do it - you know why you're doing it. KEEP DOING IT!

Alexa, I'm the same age as you. I quit smoking 16 months ago. At the same time, I started exercising -- something I had never really done before -- and made a drastic change in the way that I eat. Although I put on 12 pounds and have struggled to get them off, I have also been able to lower my cholesterol and blood pressure to the point that I don't have to take medications. So those are my own personal benefits -- yours may be different or the same. I'm reading a book by Dr. Andrew Weil called "Healthy Aging." His premise is that we cannot reverse the aging process. But what we CAN to is to make ourselves as healthy as possible to try to avoid debilitating disease and dependence on others as long as possible. The goal would be a long productive life with a short period of decline at the end. You DO have time, as Lady says. You could live another thirty or even forty years. It's your choice to live them in a healthy way or to live them in a self-destructive way that will insure heart disease, circulatory problems, lung disease, and so on. It's not too late, and I encourage you to look toward making the rest of your life one of quality and health.

alexa, Look forward to a healthier life! This is normal and it will pass. 29 days is a great accomplishment and you should be proud. It is a tough path to follow and you can do this. What are you doing to combat these feelings? Try keeping yourself occupied. Go for a walk, join a club, take up a hobby. Since you have more time on your hands, don't let your thoughts wander or become idle. If these feelings persist, check with your doctor to rule out anything medical. Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
