My only night at home through the week and i am going crazy . I feel like i have been imprisoned for years. Too early to sleep to late to do anything. Might chain myself to a radiator to stop my popping out.Or wire the widow's and doors up to the mains.

Thanks Lynne, bashed myself over the head with a hot iron for ten minutes, that seemed to do the trick. Only kidding but thanks for your support. Apologies for the English on previous post. I am wearing boxing gloves to stop me from picking cigarettes up so typing not that hot . Kidding again.

Alexander,
Just breathe and keep reading and keep posting. You need to do something to change your focus....is there any projects you can start working, clean out a drawer...a closet, do a load of laundry, do up the dishes....try and occupy yourself. You can make it!!

alexander,
i have found that when I feel like that, the only thing is to distract myself, so I go and have a hot bath, or read a favourite book,or watch a dvd, anything to get cigarettes out of your mind
hugs

Hey Alexander...As long as you have those boxing gloves on...why not head on over to the gym....or it that's not possible, go for a walk...I'm getting a little lazy these days...but those first two weeks I had to go to the gym almost every day to deal with all that extra anxiety!
P.S. I think you are going to be mighty fun to have on this site. Bashing oneself over the head with a frying pan is a very creative method of distraction....and the boxing gloves...you've gotta be one of the most creative thinkers here! :)

Alexander, Perhaps you're getting through this with some humour. You've made me chuckle. After supper, I'm settling in for an evening of crime scene shows. That'll take my mind off things. I could cheerfully throttle anyone who walks my way, so I figure its safer to watch TV. Hang in there, it all gets easier with time. Cheers, Jan

Golly, I hope you pulled through this without admittance to the critical care ward!
Chaining yourself to the radiator is a unique idea....explaining the ligature marks around your ankle to your spouse is another issue! :gasp:
Anyone up for a game of twister?

Alexander,
You've received some great advice from your fellow quitters. I can only echo them: get up and moving with a distraction.
Also try to sneak in a reward for staying smoke free.
Keep persevering,
Danielle
