I'm struggling!!!!!!!!

Day 5 and I'm struggling big time. Went out for a few drinks tonight and coped just fine without having or thinking about a cigarette. So why is it that im struggling big time ever since I've got home. I dont usually smoke at home so why all of a sudden I can think of nothing else but smoking. Is it all in the mind???????
COme on Kwisty if I can do it you can do it. Although I do remember being exhausted from constantly thinking about smoking. You need a distraction. Words with Friends? And water drink lots of water. And when I wanted one when I was at home, I would brush my teeth.
No one ever feels like a smoke just after brishing their teeth. It does get easier. Maybe miss drinks for a while? Well only a couple of weeks. :)
Kwisty, firstly well done on not breaking while having a drink.. I'm on day 5 at the moment and the thought of having a drink definitely fills me with anxiety because that is usually when i break.. So fantastic work!! Just try and keep distracted..
Walker - i love that comment about brushing your teeth!! What a fantastic and simple idea.. Even when i was smoking i didn't enjoy one after brushing my teeth.. i will definitely be using that one in future so thanks :-)
