am really struggling

Well today is day 3 and I am going crazy!!!!! All i think of is cigarettes, I am struggling to see the posisitves and I everything is getting on my nerves. I have been trying to tell myself that this is the horrible nicotine trying to trick my brain but I am in struggle town.
And today reading other peoples stories didn't motivate me as much, it was like i thought shit this is going to go on forever. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP I NEED SOME POSITIVES!!!!!

Right now the only positive thing I can really say is you made it to day 3!! It is bloody awful but day 4 is as bad. When things got really bad for me I sort of had to say dont have one now because otherwise I've just put myself and others through shit days for nothing. I consoled myself with Yes Darrel lea rocky road and put myself to bed early and the next day was so pleased I didnt become one of those that gave up!
Would we have joined this website if we wern't serious about it?
The day is almost done and tomorrow is another day up on your journey!
You can do it you have shown you can for the last I'm guessing 10hrs so keep going and see how much better tomorrow is!!
You are winning the battle xx

Even if it's just marching on the spot...can you put some music on and do some exercises? Walking around the block or doing some step aerobics while the tv is on? Anything to concentrate on something while the tempting thoughts come into your head.
Do it to tone-up and look great for this summer. Maybe also get some carrot sticks,celery or hard lollies to keep your mind on chewing. I know it's said that we are good at multi-tasking but we can only concentrate on one thing at a time. You're doing great already.

Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou! I am feeling a little more confident I went for 3 walks today lucky i have an energetic dog.
I downloaded an app for my phone that counts all the cigarettes that you aren't having and gives you daily health messages so i watched the worlds smoking related deaths tic over and thought well I am not going to be one of them. You guys are amazing!!!!!
