    Lauren,

    I understand what you’re going through. It helped me when I changed my patterns. I would lite up after I got home from work because I told myself “I deserved it”. Well, since I have quit smoking. I alter my routine when I get home from work. Instead of going to the patio, I go for a walk. I get on the phone and call out of state friends. I try to get home and do something different and healthy, because I deserve to be good to myself. Hang in there! The cravings and the craziness will pass.

    Good luck!

    I was diagnosed with Graves a month ago(had it 2 yrs.)and I smoke! I have tried quitting but it’s not going 2 well! That’s bcause I know I NEED to quit but don’t WANT to quit! I quit for weeks at the time but then get that hyper feeling and grab a cig! I haven’t smoked more than 3 a day for weeks but I know it needs to be 0 a day! But I’m Not going to give up! Next week, I’ll make it 2 a day and so on and then it’ll be 0 a day! I know all the dangers that’s y I NEED to quit! Just hang in there! We can all DO what we set our minds to!!!!!!!! Good Luck and don’t give up! Nothing good is ever easy!

    According to my eye surgen it is mostly the people who smoke that get Thyroid Eye Disease. He would not operate on me if I smoked so I went into surgery with the patch on. That was October of 97 and have been smoke free ever since, of cource there are days when I would kill for a cigarette but it passes.
    Extra benefits are , my husband quit and my mother-in-law guit after smoking for 60 years.
