Give and get support around quitting
Day 10. I woke up excited because I didn’t feel agitated or have cravings. Then my family had put things on fb I responded kindly to, niece and nephew were rude. My sister was laughing about it and I was nearly in tears. She has been so aggressive since I quit (she smokes) and then i get out of bed, nose is bleeding. Does not happen with me. Now I am almost in tears, angry and ready to say screw it. My heart palpitates, I feel like my BP is up. I do not want to fall apart because I am quitting. I mean day 10! ALMOST TWO weeks.
Please don’t give up you have come to far for that, let what say in one ear and out the other. Don’t lower yourself to that level. Some people get jealous because we can make things happen. Stay strong we are here for you.
Thank you! I didn’t cave but man I came close but came here and just started reading then tried a walk. It is hard when it is family but this is my new ex smokers family and I appreciate all of you so much! Thank you!
RIGHT N0W! Do this breathing exercise. Raise your arms out in front of your shoulders with the inhale, let them fall back to your sides with the exhale:
Nothing that has happened will be impacted by smoking. It ALL will still have happened, and the impact will be GREATER if you lose your quit over it.
THEN - march in place, or go for a walk, or call a friend.
Just don't smoke, ya' HEAR?!!!
Thank you! You are so right. I didn’t cave. Came here and read, then tried some exercise. Then cried. Do not have any physical friends but have some here. I did NOT cave. So glad. Thank you again so much! I also did the breathing! I just found badges! How do we follow?
You're doing great at 10 days. You are accomplishing what most smokers dream of doing
The chart bellow may help you. Know what to expect can make things
Just stay strong You'll do fine
Thank you! I appreciate it so much!!!! I just found badges. Yours showed me a place to follow but did not see it but one other time. How do we follow?
Go to the page of the person you want to follow by clicking on their avatar. In the current format (sometimes it changes!) there is a box under the large banner on the far right to "Follow."
Thank you!
