Journey home.
Day 41 and today the craving is real strong. I've to keep telling myself that if I so much as take a puff, I will regret and become a prisoner to smoking again. I have to resist, no matter what!!!!
Having a puff or "just one" will make you a prisoner to smoking again. You can do without it, you proved it by not smoking for 41 days. It is a long time!!! don't quit on yourself now. Good luck!
Smoke-nomore, thank you for the kind words. I've stuck with my commitment to quit and I'm actually on day 45 now! I'm glad I didn't quit on myself on that horrible day 41! We can all do it by never taking another puff no matter how bad things may seem to be. That has been 3 days ago and it's just gone! I'm so happy.
I'm on day 39, going 40 and reading Quitsmart's comment. Yes, right now its midnight and I've been eating stuff all day to keep my mind off cigarettes. Its not been easy at all for me today. As I write this, I am craving nicotene. Quitsmart says "I have to resist, no matter what!" so thats exactly what I am going to do! The way for me to resist is to start moving/walking and so after logging off from this computer, I am going to go for a long walk and enjoy breathing lots of oxygen, reminding myself why I wanted to give up smoking just under 40 days ago
Ok, I just came back from over 1 hour's exercise. I don't feel a craving for cigarettes now. Maybe my body is after endorphin releases? Whatever it is, it seems that exercising (things like brisk walking) is helping me a lot.
