congragulations on your 15th smoke free day!
nice to hear you are not having a hard time. of course you can do this, you have come this far:) some people are having trouble sleeping at night, dont worry. just give it some time. are you on any medication?
we are going to be here for you any time you need, mace.
you decided to quit, that is the hardest phase. you are not going to deal with anything bigger than this, beilive me. when a craving hits just take a deep breath, and let it go.. it will go away.
hello Linda, welcome
quit is different for each one of us, you are the one who knows what works best for you. You did it before, and you stayed quit for 7 months! You remember the strategies you used back then?? You remember how you handled the cravings when they hit hard?? it is a long time to stay quit! You can do it again. Some say you should not try to reduce the amount you smoke before your quit day, and it is working with some people, l dont think it is making any difference if you quit in the end. Either way the first few days are difficult, and as time goes it will get easier.
Good luck!!
Good morning all..
l was doing so well lately, l guess l was just caught offguard:( l wasn't even craving! dont want to bother you with details, l was in an uncomfortable situation, surrounded by smokers and just gave in:( You know what? it did NOT correct the situation, did NOT help in any way! Plus l got mad at myself for ruining everything l have done lately.
anyway, no need to cry much about it. l stand up, brush myself off, and keep going!
(l reset my quit meter- so l know how terrible it feels to delete all the good work done, it will help not to slip again hopefully)
thanks

thank you all for caring and the cheering
l am still so mad at myself, it was going to be day 9 for me now:(
last week l actually enjoyed my cravings, getting over them, now the excitement has gone, and l dont feel the success at all:(
but everything happens for a reason, right? maybe the way l feel now will help me from future relapse, or maybe make someone think once more before taking another puff..

it is all about attitude l think Danielle, today l am feeling much better. l decided to look ahead. l have lots and lots of things to look forward to. l am going for a vacation this weekend, it will be a lot more challenging l guess, but it will also be kind of my first week reward:)
nonic, l don't know what to say.. you are truly a godsend. l dont know what made you send those last 2 posts, but they saved my quit! l almost gave up all the efforts thinking it is impossible for me to quit with all of this going on.. there are really no words to show how grateful l am. l will try not to dissapoint you. And you are right about having the benefit of those days, it is not like my first 3 days all over again, it is much easier this time..
new me, there is no way l can avoid smokers, as most of my friends are.. l would feel so lonely:( but the reason l failed is partly about being with smokers, and constantly having cigarettes around, l was with friends when l lost control in the first place.. but when l tried to avoid them, l felt so depressed anyway. l have to figure a way to handle these kind of situations. l will be away for 2 weeks, and when l come back hopefully l will be done with the hardest part, it will be much easier to be around them:)
thank you all!!
