6th day

Hi everyone, hope you are all well.  I am having a terrible day today and am so tempted to just have one cigarette.  I didn't sleep well and my mouth has the most bitter taste in it.  Everything tastes awful.  I am also grumpy and finding it hard to concentrate at work.  Please help

Please don't smoke Juliette. It won't solve anything. Try some deep breathing exercises. a warm bath, a good book. Just don't light up, you will only regret it in the end.

It just won't  be worth it.  Chew gum or toothpicks or short straws. Sip iced water.  By tomorrow you'll feel different again.  Vasbyt!  Bree

Work is tough for me also.  Seems like they do not understand if I scream out loud at my addiction. Or hit myself on the head to knock out those evil thoughts.  Or many other odd behaviors.  But you made it 6 days.  You can keep going.  WE can keep going.  Is it worth it?  You bet it is!!!

Use your tool box! bend paper clips into fun shapes, I was never good at it, but some people are!

You can't win that argument with yourself, so don't have it!  You already made your decision that you won't smoke again -right?  Give your head a shake and get busy.  Smoking is not an option!

Snap a rubber band around your wrist. Take a quick walk.  Read blogs or Allen Carr or the articles on whyquit.com........

Just don't think about giving in and smoking!  You can be stronger than that voice - because that voice is YOU!

Hang in there!
