Hi Everyone,

im under incredible stress and anxiety. I’m craving a cigarette now, and the cravings are horrible. My mind is telling me that I want one. I’m going to hot yoga in a half an hour. I can’t handle these panic attacks without wanting a cigarette. Thank you for letting me vent.

Thank you! I couldn’t go to yoga because I was running late to class. I didn’t smoke so I don’t feel that this morning was a waste. I won against cigarettes today!

You did great getting through the horrid crave @Juliejules2456 deep breaths and keep moving forward stacking up those precious days of ~ DOF ~ Days Of Freedom so each evening you can say YAY for another Day WON! You're doing this quit and you're doing it one precious day at a time or hour minute or even a second at time, it may not feel like it right now BUT the more time you have under your belt the easier it's going to get stay close....

You DID it!  Good for you!

You might spend a minute and think about how you got past that bad time, then write it down so you don't have to reinvent what works when it's needed.

Keep at it!  It WILL get easier, I promise!
