Just starting...
Hi all,
This is my second day of quitting :) Yay me!!!
It's been difficult in the sense that i actually don't know what to do with myself... The cravings are strong as you all would know - but I deal with these as they come up and remind myself that "no! I don't WANT to smoke anymore" - works so far...
My issue at the moment is time. I seem to have too much of it. But I don't really - and its like my head's playing games with me (lol).
I'm not angry, moody, or depressed - I'm irritable - but cant be bothered doing anything...
Never mind - tomorrow is a new day :)
Good luck all
Hi Crasher,
Good on you and today is now your 3rd day ... see how quickly time goes :o)
Cravings will always be there, it might sound annoying but it just means that you can practice getting through them.
With your moods, you might still find that they creep up in the coming few days or weeks but don't let that discourage you, just be aware (you sound like you are) and know you're strong.
Good luck to you too.
Hi Tanzee,
Thank you for your words of encouragement :) I appreciate them!!
Yep day 3 - and I can say that my mood has definitely lifted and I'm feeling a lot less irritable now - You're right though time does go quickly - I'm feeling more positive today with the mood thing and my personal convictions to STOP smoking are very strong :)
How long have you quit for?
Hey Crasher,
Today is day 71 smoke free for me. I have had up and down cravings but surprisingly not bad enough to fight back and forth with myself about having a smoke (if that makes sense)
I had bad mood swings and for me it was like an outer body experience as I knew what I was doing and saying but I couldnt stop it. But I would just let it go and know it would pass.
I am happy to hear your feeling very strong, hold onto that! :o)
BTW, no need to thank me. I am happy to support and encourage :o)
