Day 11
So I am Day 11 and really struggling! I really DONT want a cigarette, but cant seem to snap out of my bad mood. It almost feels worse than Day 1.
I have had some really bad family news in the last few days, and alot of pressure on at work, but am determined not to give in. I just keep telling myself it will be get better and the stress I am feeling right now is worth it in the long run. I also have a 5 year old who keeps telling me how proud he is of me which REALLY helps!
So even if you are having bad days, keep reminding yourself of why you are quitting. Take a deep breath, go for a long walk or go buy yourself a treat with some of the $$ you have saved by quitting.
Keep up the good work everyone!!!
Jodes5, You must not have that smoke as things will get better. The cravings will pass.I have come off NRT since last night and are experiencing some pretty crazy cravings right now. I am trying to enjoy this 'withdrawal/ recovery' feelings as much as I can, even though it might sound crazy. I know I will beat it and won't cross this path again. Not 1 puff or Chew.
Jodes5, I'm on day 16 after 52 years of smoking, and am determined to beat it. During those 16 days I have had my wife in bed for 10 days with a severe chest infection, I've had a skin cancer cut out of the back of my hand requiring a skin graft, and one cut out of my ear requiring the same.
But I will not have a cigarette, and if I can do it so can you.
Thanks Bill44 & Quitsmart!! I am definitely NOT going to give in to it. Just having a rough day and needed to vent. I guess we all have those type of days while trying to quit. Keep up the good work :-)
