My 3rd week
I am in my 3rd week and finding the cravings a little harder to resist but hanging in there. The times I have tried to give up before it has always been the 3rd week that weakens me, but this time knowing what is happening has made me more determined to not let myself be tempted. I know if I can get through this week I will be able to continue.
Asked my son if I have been behaving badly as I know I am trying to make a extra conscious effort not to be cranky and staying calm, he said I havent been cranky and is proud of me,one thing is I am talking more about not smoking and it seems to be in all my conversations. I really didnt know I was doing this so am trying not to think or speak of it as it probably was why my 3rd week was harder before.
Am taking a lot of deep breaths and exhaling slowly.
Marg, one of my earlier attempts at giving up smoking resulted in my then 10 or 11 yr old daughter BEGGING me to go to the shop and buy cigarettes (after her constant nagging to give up was my reason for quitting!).
Just ... try, try, and try again.
