    Sorry if I have not been exactly supportive today....Struggling a bit....but will get through it...feeling very bitchy...I dont know...antidepressant dosage is increased so probably have to get used to that as well,the first few days will probably not be that great...but should get used to it soon.

    Cant quit while living in this house. Just can not. Need to make a plan to get out as soon as I can.

    New approach: no antidepressants.Sceletium instead.Not lighting up.

    I went cold turkey about a year ago. It was tough, before then I tried quitting many times and going back to it. I still get agitated and crave cigarettes. I'll chew gum or take a walk if the agitation starts stressing me out. I find being friends with non-smokers helps too. None of my current friends smoke. My past friends ALL smoked. It's hard to quit when you're around it all the time.

    My mom has been smoking for 45 years. The image of her one day soon being 24/7 hooked up to an oxygen tank just breaks my heart. :frowning2: I've never been a smoker myself, but if my encouragement to stay strong means anything, you have it.

    Thanx for all the responses.I feel that cold turkey is the best approach. Malestrom-sorry to hear about that.Your encouragement means very much to me at the moment.

    I am in a better mood though,so that serves as further motivation to stick to my decision. Sense of smell and taste will be enhanced again soon enough.

    That's great! Sooooooooo jealous. :slight_smile: I've always wanted to be a concert pianist. But lesson-denying parents, plus a congenital condition have quelled that dream. Now I just appreciate. Do you have any favorite performers?

    I love Rachmaninov's transcription of Tschaikovsky's Lullaby, opus 16 no. 1. :grin:

    Performers-I do not really think of them as ''favorites''...I can name a few that I enjoy I suppose(whether alive or not hehe): Martha Argerich,Murray Perahia,Ashenazy,Horowitz,Gould(getting lazy with typing out all the names),Pires,Gilels,Kocsis,and others.
