Mourning my cigs

Day 1, 20th Oct went well for the day put in place my management to overcome cravings BUT when I came home from work was horrid, I was craving a cig and so I buckled and had 1, I actually enjoyed sittting outside and relaxing with my cigarrette having my down time after work but once I finished it I felt so guilty and my mouth tasted horrid and I stunk! I was very dissapointed in myself but I only had that 1.
So day 2, 21st I managed again for the day but this time I took the half packet of cigs I had (yes I know I should have threw them out earlier) to work and literally mangled and disposed of them in bin at work, and I have been so torn since, it was like mangling a close friend or relative and I literally feel really down about it, but I just knew if I had them I was going to repeat yesterday,so I had to do it but why am I feeling so bad about it!
Not sleeping well of night since started on 1mg of champix, not sure if I should cut the night dose off or not.
Not feeling the power of positivity that I had last week. But still powering on.

Congratulations eleven though you had one cig on day 1 you have started the journey . Give yourself some credit you have been positive, you set a quit and you started and even though you had a cig you said you smelt awful and the taste was horrible so you are ready to take all the small steps that are necessary. The nights are hard I just try to keep busy and I keep looking at my star chart on the fridge and knowing I will get a star after tea I think " yeah I've done another day " it's a journey sometimes in hours but before you know it you are counting days . We'll done you are a champion xxxx

Here I am , over 4 months with no cigs, and this week has been awful, hard to believe after this amount of time it could get hard again. I'm really upset with myself, I have put on weight, I hate walking and basically I'm struggling , damn.... But I haven't had a smoke ... Go me.

I feel the same leanneg , im on day 45 and all this week I feel so down and depressed, everything and everyone is annoying me from neighbors to family I feel overweight and like yourself, can not be bothered walking, but good thing is, it passes . . . . would rather be a little depressed than smoking :) good luck everyone !!x

Dear clee - keep washing your face and hands. Use lavender or chamomile or rose soap. Shower and brush your teeth. Concentrate on smelling fresh. Wash your hair.
