Hi Working on it. I'm feeling like you are right now. I keep thinking, "am i really doing this, am I really never going to have another smoke? EVER?" I feel so discouraged when these thoughts creep into my head, and I find myself comparing this quit to previous attempts by thinking that I've gone a little longer then the last quit, so if I have one, I can quit again. I know this is just crazy talk in my head, but sometimes it really gets me down. Smoking was such a crutch to me, I still feel like I've lost my best friend. Crazy huh? They're only stinky cigarettes.
You've been so strong so far, keep on going. I like your thought of going back to the basics. It really is one day at a time. Hopefully smoking will be a distant thought afer a while. I'll keep going if you will.
Hi Litsa, I'm on day 43 and am also struggling this week. I don't think I have ever been so grumpy and aggitated in my life! BUT I WILL NOT SMOKE TODAY.
N.O.P.E. - this little word is the only thing that's saving me right now.
Wow, time sure is flying by. I can't believe I've made it to 48 days already. Starting to feel a bit better these past few days, I'm not spending as much time dwelling on my quit.
Good for you for sticking to it! Only you can decide what will work best for you. I have been using the patch to help me quit. I agree that it is prolonging the process, but you know what? This is the plan I chose, and it is working for me. I am down to 7mg a day this week, and plan on being nicotine free in 2 weeks. I wish I could have quit cold turkey to get it out of my system faster, but I did not feel strong enough to get through it on my own. There is nothing wrong with using NRT's for a little help.
