Day 7 Anxiety ++++

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 2614

One step at a time one day moment at a time. All of your reasons for quitting, they can be an arsenal of ammunition to get rid of the craves. Keep going to see Santa at the mall. The life you give to yourself and your childen and husband and family will be a life of love and can only get to be because of your loving intervention and your commitment to be smoke free. :) Peace Phillip [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/17/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 278 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,969 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2224 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 45 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 20 [B]Seconds:[/B] 43

Penguin, What's more NORMAL than an addict wanting to use? It's whether we pick up or not that counts! I am trying not to judge my thoughts or feelings right now. Just let them wash over me and do nothing more than that.

Penquin. Deep breaths. Take some really deep breaths. Let's turn this reward thing into a movie. People don't smoke there and it will occupy your mind. Get busy doing something. Anything that will keep you busy for a while. Get through 5 minutes at a time and tell the junkie to leave you alone. You don't belong to the junkie anymore. Your life belongs to you! If you don't feel safe going out, don't go out. There are a lot of people here for you offering you support. Your commitment is to yourself. You want to be free from this addiction once and for all. The only way to get there is to go through what you are going through right now. Once you get through it, it is done! You are free! You are fighting for your LIFE! DO NOT GIVE UP ON YOU! I believe in you. YOU can believe in you too because you really are doing this! Seven days! Hell week is over and you made it! Remember how hard it was just making it through a few hours. Now you've got that down. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Every day is one day closer to never feeling this way again. (Remember?) Thank you for keeping your promise. It means a lot.

Ride that roller coaster! And remember the ride well. You don't ever want to repeat this again. I remember the roller coaster. It keeps me quit. Use it to your advantage. Remember that when it goes down, it will also come back up. Hang on tight. It's quite a ride but you will be so glad when it is over!

Thanks for all the responses!! Feeling a little better today - started off the same way, but I have been reading posts and laughing a lot and I'm ready to go and get my reward for one week - I choose what's behind door #2 - sorry only Canucks might get that one.

Cigarettes Not Smoked

Woke up this morning rather rudely from somewhat of a nightmare and I was scared. It felt like I needed to run.....and fast...almost panicky. Didn't know why exactly, except that I wanted to take some cigarettes with me. OK, Jude, this is an anxiety attack, how are you going to handle it. I remembered something I'd printed out from another site about anxiety and quitting, and once I had my coffee and the offspring his toast, I started to read. I was Normal.....no kidding, but this sure is uncomfortable. This feeling has remained with me throughout the day, and the addict and me have had an almost constant conversation today about relapsing. (Keeping my promise, you know who) And no I haven't smoked yet. But it is still consideration at this point. I was going out this evening to buy my 1 week reward and now I'm thinking "what the heck would you do that for. You're thinking about relapsing. A little more work need be done before I reward." I know, I know the Junkie is talking. But it is something I am having trouble with, this consideration of relapsing and when the heck, does the commitment come in. I decided to post first, and I decided to just not smoke...for now, but this all day crave thing has really got to me. I did better on day 1. I keep telling myself it will get better, but Jeeez, I just can't come up with a good excuse. The Junkie can be so convincing sometimes!!!
