Cravings and an emotional rollercoaster

Hi everyone, I'm on my 4th day and I'm on an emotional rollercoaster. Anxiety was horrible this morning and so was the crying. Its also Thanksgiving and I'm so tempted to go across the street to my neighbors house for a cigarette, but I won't do it. I need this quit. You guys weren't lying when you said the depression can just hit you. I am on antidepressants and I see a counselor, so for the most part its under control but I used to rely very heavily on cigarettes to get me through the hard times. Its Thanksgiving and the hard times were today and I'm going through them without cigarettes and its really hard, quitting is hard but I'm going to stick with it. Also, I'm stuck inside with my 15 year old son who is bored and driving me nuts.

BUT - you got through today - CONGRATULATIONS - You did it!!!

One day at a time, remember?  Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better one.

AND - As you get further along , I promise it will get easier.

Hang in there until it does!

When we first quit it is so about not smoking, but also, about firsts of everything.  The first Thanksgiving without smoking...it is hard, but doable and you are creating a new memory.  You are getting stronger and nico is getting weaker...fight it and hang tough...you got this...Colleen 725 DOF
