I have had a very crappy day....frustration at every turn. I need a redirect. I could use more info or testimony about smoking. I know intellectually, but the cravings are overwhelming. GGRRRR
ok Marie, go on over to Candid Quitters and pick something to watch or read, some things are funny and some are serious, but all of it helps. You also might want to go to Wikki and put quit smoking, hit serach and do some reading...where are you now in your quit?
you are at almost 18 days right? You will have days like his, you know the kind where you are seriously talking to yourself and thinking you are half crazy. If you hold on though, it gets better and cravings last three minutes or less. I always ask, is it really the cigarette you want or is it that you feel like crap and just want that to go away? There is a difference, the second one sucks, but it is your crazy body trying its best to help you...so hang on, who wants to go through it more than once?
Its not that I want to smoke its more like I want something that I enjoy and relax me. I've tried many alternatives, I've got lots of tricks in my book, but none is working. I wish it was time for bed
My quitting date is April 25th and I have been cutting down. I know what you mean by a crappy day but do not smoke I have been playing video games for Free on my computer so that I can keep my fingers busy do not despair
hey Mecedes that is what I do, my fingers are actually skinnier:) Marie what about music? If you like music, put some of your favs on and just lean back and relax and let the music do the rest.
Don't Do It, You don't smoke any more, tell that nic pirate to get off your ship, fight that urge, run around the block, get now Edith page and dance till you fall down. You come 17 days, one urge at time. Hang in there ,hang in there...
You definetely dont want to throw 18 days away my friend, i have been having days like that to, you know that and i survived without smoking,, it was hard,and it sucked, but when u get thru them you will feel so much better. And like everyone says, you dont wanna start all over again. Keep them hands busy, get on your computer and write a two page blog about your whole life if you have to, lol. Just dont smoke, or maybe just the opposite, get off, become an ex for a while, somethimes when i want one, the site is to much for me at the moment because its all about cigarettes, you know what i mean, i love the sight, but sometimes a break is needed, from nicotine talk, does that make any sense to anyone. So you fight it girl. We are in this together!!!!
I totally understand whatyou are saying Nory....I get upset especially when I see anyone fall; gets really depressing and in your face with failure, argh.....BTW, I have had the worst week and am at day 55, I feel like I'm at day 2 half the time, but I was told that after 60 it does get better, so i'm hanging in there for dear life too
Ive been excercising and listening to music and went on you tube to watch john madden impressions and kenny rogers jackass. I laughed until it hurt. That helps. Im just going through the emotions. thanks tons, everybody! You are the best. I dont plan to give in. Just want to get thru this bad (temporary) time. It so helps to be able to verbalize my feelings and what im experiencing
Marie???? See what good it does to come here???? I even see a smile on your face so things must be getting better. It is just one day at a time...or one minute at a time. whatever you choose you will do good if you keep coming here just like you did. This is a Wonderful Journey you are on...don't ever think of giving up your quit, always come here first. Someone will always be here to help...the beauty of this site. Congrats to ya....18 days!!!
Marie, I have had a rough day too. This is day 39 of my quit and I have wanted to smoke alllllllllllll day! Instead I cut and trimmed the grass and then washed and cleaned both cars. I don't know when this urge to smoke will ever stop ,but I'm fighting ever inch of the way.You can do this. It took me many years to get into this mess. I guess it will take more then a few days to beat it. Hold on to your quit!!!!
Marie, You need to be strong and hang in there. For some reason everytime I celebrated a milestone, 2 weeks, 30 days, 60 days and 70 days I got the worst urge / craving and I was like - what the heck why now when not in between those days? Doesn't make sense does it? It's those nicodemons, ignore them, keep yourself busy for 3 minutes, they will go away. I know when you are feeling like this 3 minutes seems like a life time, but it really isn't, that's why you need to entertain yourself! Get on here and blog like you did or read read & read, heck go walking, ride a bike, hey I even got out the hoola hoop, remember that? Whatever you do, do not give in. You will get past this if you remain strong ! I'm here for you if you need me ok?
