Quit day was Dec 24th at midnight 2016. It's been two weeks. I feel I've come a long way already. But the last few days have been a little more difficult. I keep feeling taunted somehow. I keep thinking of a cigarette as a reward or treat. This is where I need to change my thinking, but it seems like I'm not able to make it stick. Is it just a matter of putting the good information (Allen Carrs book, this website and others, etc.) into my head consistantly? Maybe I let up on it the last few days and just need to listen to his book some more? Or watch more whyquit.com videos?
I think it's the worst when I'm not so busy. As in the past, when I finish a task, or get up from the computer, or before starting a new task my brain wants to go to the inbetween "treat". And now everytime I think about it and of course tell myself 'no", I feel deprived. Empty. Longing. I keep seeing the ONE PUFF fullfilling the emptiness and longing. I want to get the image/thoughts out of my head. For good. I feel like my mind is flirting with disaster and will eventually make it happen unless I do something....
Happy for this site. 😃 Not only is there wonderful support here, it's nice to be able to just have the place to put my thoughts out to. Thanks to all of you!
Listening to a book always helps me more than reading it. I'm going to listen to Allen Carr's "The Easy Way To Stop Smoking" utube book all the way through again. 😃 If anyone else could use it, here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd_MTSQ6kNM >>>> N.O.P.E. <<<<<
