crappy day, wont go away.

[nory]

Well, weirdly enough, today is day four, almost five at ten tonight, and i feel probably worse than day one two or three. I cant seem to get stupid cigarettes off my mind, i keep thinking about how they tasted, and keep craving them, its making me tired, and lacking energy. Those damn cigarettes, suck, what they make you go through. I am not gonna smoke, no way, no how. I just thought maybe if someone has some enlightening info on these horrible feelings, let me know. the thoughts just seem to be overwhelming today, and i can feel my mood changing from bad to worse because of it, and im trying to control it, cuz it aint nobodys fault but mine. EERRR, i hate this, gotta be strong, right all. Thank You All!!

BREATHE !!!!
Then maybe walk....drink plenty of COLD water....(you need to flush your system out yet).....drink some juice (you may need the sugar !) And one of the BEST things I heard of in a long time...LAUGH !!! Do not stress out...laugh - out loud !!! Silly nicodemon thinks it's goona get YOU ???? LAUGH !!!!

Stay strong...it gets easier...really !!

You can do it! Do not feed the nicotine monster. The monster is trying to trick you into smoking, one little puff and he's won! Ruined every minute of your progress. Tell the little nicotine creep to shut up, your not going to smoke! He'll go away, and everyday will get easier. Stay busy.

Do everything you do in your regular daily habits backwards, mix things up...wash dishes if you have a diswasher...drink lots of cold water...deep breaths....Read, do anything that it takes to get you mind off of them. The craves should last no more then 5 minutes...go into your bedroom and empty a drawer full of clothes and refold them. You can do this and you aren't going to let those stinking cancer sticks rule you...you have the upper hand now, you are in the drivers seat.....keep up the good work, it is hard, but oh, so ever worth it.
write me and i'll write you back...type your fingers away,
You did the right thing by coming here......Good Job!

I remember in past quits I always had more energy, but this time, I think it's the Chantix, I have been so lazy. I have no energy on weekends. If you're tired try to nap thru the pain. Hell, take a sleeping pill and go to bed, I'm all for trying any drug temporarily that gets us thru. Hope tomorrow is better for you.

Oh hell, I remember days like that in the beginning of a quit. Good part of the reason why I protect my quit now! No repeats please....HA. Carlie is absolutely right, breathe, juice, laugh, and know this is part of the process. It has its crappy moments and crappy days, but thank God its all going to be behind you and at some glorious point you will not even think about smoking in your day. It happens so hang in there! Awesome job bloggin' and reachin' out for the support here. That helps a lot!!! 🙂 Congrats on 4 days too!!!!!!!!

If your home and able to sleep, then do that! It worked for me the first several days! Also, coming here is always a good idea! It helps to express what your feeling especially to others who, know where you are! Stay strong and just know that YOUR DOING IT!!!!

Talk about laughter, I'm sure Claudia didn't mean it as humor, but "empty your drawers and refold them". I had to laugh. Because of my laziness since I quit smoking, I have ENOUGH laundry to wash, dry, AND fold without having to empty out drawers.
