I am on day 10 of no smoking and today I feel like I could start crying any minute. I feel like the smallest thing may send me over the edge. I am overwhelmed also right now due to a crisis that has happened with my oldest daughter. It seems to compound my missing smoking. I realize smoking is how I coped with stress, but I do not want to be that person anymore. Today I am so sad though- please tell me this will get easier. How have others coped when a trauma arises early on your quit??? In need of support today. Thanks!!! Cat52
It's OK to cry. Makes me feel better sometimes to have a good cry.
Smoking will NOT do anything to help with the crisis going on with your daughter. Remember that. The only thing that it will do is put you back to day one. You should be very proud of those 10 days - don't give them up!
Take a walk, get a little exercise, play a game, do a puzzle, take a bubble bath, read a book - do whatever is necessary to get yourself through this rough spot - except smoke. It's not worth it.
