YUCK!

Well, it’s day whatever....notice my happy positive energy is gone?  Well it’s gone today.  I feel like crap.  I really am disappointed that this urge to smoke has once again become so strong.  I am shocked really.  It seemed to have died down and now it’s back.  I feel like okay...it’s the first 3 days again.  This sucks.  Because of the holiday and we took a little trip, I have not been to the gym since last week and I usually go every single day.  I am going tonight and everyday after so I hope it helps.  I strongly feel like I may have to go back to using those Commit lozenges.  Is that a bad thing?  It is better than smoking but nicotine nonetheless.  Thank God no one around me smokes or I would have lit up by now.

Same thing happened to me when I lost my last quit!  I am determined not to let it happen again!  Go to the gym, it really does help!

Don't go back on the lozenges.  This is temporary.  You will find that you'll go along not even thinking about your old habit then suddenly you will get an urge, or have a bad day.  You have to be prepared for them.  Just hang in there and keep busy and it will pass.

no lozenges,, if you put nicotine in your body now, You will have to learn to give it up all over again later!! Grab a water bottle and take drinks whenever a craving comes on,, that got me through my first 2 weeks, maybe it will work for you, Stay Strong Mari, we all have faith in you, and we know you CAN DO IT!!  Bless you 🙂  Jamie

Me too Mari. This is Day 35 for me and I feel whacked. I am craving a cigarette and I know that is wrong. I can't seem to get that thought out of my head which is probably dangerous. I don't know much about lozanges. If you are 20 days and were on that plan, I think you should be patient and follow the plan. I don't know how long you were off them though. I suspect that is the problem. But we will get past this Mari. My patch and your lozange are just aids. We need to persist no matter what. Lets be ready when we are among smokers and just say NOPE. You are doing well.

Hi Mari,

There's nothing wrong with having a down day. How long have you been off the NRT's? If it was recently,,then why start them again? That could be making you feel up and down. I had to stop Chantix just like "that" and it was shocking at first, but now I made it and I feel great, sleep great and all that other great stuff,,lol,,,,I still get little urges here and there, but sometimes I realize it's lunch time or I need a glass of water,,in other words my urges are not for a smoke,,I just have to stay focused.

YOu can do it girl! You are doing so awesome!! Exercise is way better than NRT's and you get the endorphins you've been craving,,,lol,,that's what you're craving now!

Hang in Sista!

Keep Kicking Them Butts!

Hi Mari! I've been forllowing your quit and you are doing great! I wouldn't suggest etting back on the lozenges. Just push thru today - you CAN do it!  It will get easier and better. Laugh at the craves. That's what I did!  Also, try doing some stretching exercises to relieve the tension that builds up. Keep drinking water. You are doing this girl - keep going!

well, for me it has been 25 days and counting! don't know how long you have been quit but I will use lozenges as long as it takes "much better than a cigarette"! Sometimes you do whatever gets you through the rough times!
