Quit Day 4

0 13 62

Woke late, 7:57 am. Very unusual for me. Immediately was excited to get to my smoking porch to smoke a cig and have coffee. Then it dawned on me that my porch is no longer there and I no longer smoke. The angry feelings began at that point.

The anger is not as bad as Day 2. What did I do instead of smoke? Walked the dog, called a friend, texted with my EX support, drank tea, deep breathed. The crave is still gnawing at my brain. How to handle the rest of the day? Go to health food store to remind myself of health and wellness, paint, knit, read, deep breathe more.

That said, I still would LOVE one cig.

About the Author

I am a 55 year old health care professional and have considered myself a non smoker my entire adult life. I was a runner (and smoked), yogi, walker, exerciser, clean food advocate, etc. But smoked secretly anyway. It is the nicotine I’m addicted to, not the habit. Quitting nicotine makes me feel so uncomfortable and disoriented. Have used patches and lozenges. Patches kept me awake at night so became addicted to lozenges years ago when quitting. Am now back in the same predicament. Quit again today and am back on lozenges.
