Great advise you got above. The thing is, everyones different. Although we all are addicts to Nicotine, we all have different 'stressors' and 'limits' we can personally manage with our quits. Thats how I see it anyway. That book was exactly what I needed....but its not for everyone. and thats okay. We just share what works for each of us.
I would also suggest a quit journal. Keeping track of your emotions and what's going on when the craves come and then list things you can do to replace the crave. I dis this also and it was helpful, along with walking alot, jumping on my mini tramp, drinking water and doing artwork or knitting...cleaning our every cupboards and drawer and closet in the house, kitchen cabs,,,,you name it. Anything to keep my hands busy and drinking water all day longs as I did all of this.
Don't be so hard on yourself. Hate the addiction....not you. Don't allow the 'addiction' to have the control anymore and keep you in a defeated mood. Your here now, and we will help support you if you let us, okay?
One day at a time. You can do this.
