9 Days Nicotine Free with Cold Laser Therapy

Hi shadoww I too had cold laser therapy 8 weeks ago and found it very easy to quit. However, around the 1 month mark it started to get a little more difficult. Work the program tools on the left, if you haven't already and read, read, read - here and other sites. Laser therapy isn't a cure. All you have to remember is NOPE. It's a choice!

Barely hanging on!!

Had a bad day yesterday, and Nic has sneaked in the back door and is sitting on my shoulder, yelling in my ear. I didn't sleep well last night and woke up tired and anxious, knowing I was going to have a hard day. I know it is all Junkie thinking, and there is a constant conversation going on in my head that I having trouble ignoring!! I feel like I am barely hanging on by a thread! HELP!!

Can you say Blah?????

I agree this day sucks. I'm not only angry, but sad, mad, depressed, and anxious. I am feeling better than two hours ago. Stick close. Someone reached out their hand to me this morning and it helped, so here's my hand - hold on tight. We will do it together! It's a choice!

Barely hanging on!!

OK. I'm standing on more solid ground and I brushed off the dust. I realized I'd been rolling around on the ground fighting with the Nicodemon and when I saw how beat up I was I got really, really mad. I deserve to feel good about myself!! I deserve to be free from smoking!!! This is my quit and I'm not going to let anyone but me control it!!!! I have gotten this far because I wanted to quit - I'm not just trying. I've reminded myself of my reasons and I'm making a choice! [color=Purple]I CHOOSE FREEDOM!!![/color] :) Thanks to everyone for their helping hands! You're the best.

Angry Junkie!

Two days ago I had to buy classes for my son. Well, today, 2 days later they were broken. I exploded in anger, unfortunately for my son. He's only 4. So here I am storming around the house thinking. "Hey, I've been waiting for an opportunity like this, so I can talk myself into smoking." No Nicodemon involved here, just me. As I'm driving to the mall to go get a replacement pair of glasses, I was trying hard to talk myself into stopping and buying some cigarettes. "I'll just buy a pack and have one or two and then throw the rest away. I can stop at a couple. Or can I.?" Well I didn't buy any on the way there, but I tried again on the way back, but my last 6 weeks of effort kicked in hard. "You are not going to buy any. You are not going to give up this quit. If you smoke you will just be an angry smoker. This isn't a good enough reason. There never has to be a reason to smoke. I am a non-smoker." Whew. Got through that episode. Feeling much stonger after it too. It was like I kept stompin on the Nicodemon until he said. OK I Quit!
