Today has been blah

Today i am on day 6. Days 4 and 5 were fairly easy, so i knew a day like today would be coming soon. I was prepared this time. 

All day, I've been having these craves or urges to smoke. I'd get through one, then what seems like 10 minutes later another one would hit. 

So I pulled out my phone and read here and other places about smoking and other people's experience. I also would suck and chew on a honey stick ( my salvation). 

I thought a couple times to go to gas station and buy a pack of smokes, and just start over tomorrow, but i know how that turns out, and i don't want to continue that cycle. 

So here I am, happy I haven't smoked through the hardest day ( this quit), and can go to bed a winner. I still have a couple hours before bed but i think I'm safe from smoking tonight!

Thanks everyone for being here!!

Becky!

I've been smoking since I was 13, and I am going to be 42 in a few days. I have had 2 quits that lasted 11 months. I have been trying to quit again now for over a month. I would get 4 days smoke free, then smoke for a couple then get 4 more days ect... I'm bipolar, with an anxiety disorder and ptsd. I'm also an alcohlic. I go to a group for dual diagnosis for these, as well as AA meetings. I also see a therapist and a psychiatrist regularly.
