Getting harder!
Today's cravings are so strong. I am chewing gum like crazy, unable to focus at the task at hand, restless - just feel like I want to burst out of this room and run down the road a 100miles/hr! Feeling so stupid for feeling this!
Hi vivien i am on day 19 i am like you the second week has been so hard i too want to go buy a packet i have been fighting with myself dont feel stupid you are as normal as the next quitter i have a straw and i smoke the straw good luck kanga x x
Hi VivienQ, I am on the second week now, and yes it is harder , cravings are strong, very emotional crying alot,restless, dreams. Yesterday felt like a fight controlling the cravings but I did not give in to it. As you go along it will get easier once you know what to expect. You can do this!! I find running helps me get out frustration ..... I sometimes let out a scream when no one is around that helps too. Sip water slowly and breathe deeply, repeat to yourself I have come so far , I am a non smoker now, each day I do not smoke the healthier I am becoming, they are terror's and the enemy now, the worst relationship I ever had. Stay strong keep posting here it really helps you are not on you own, we are all on the same road. good luck...
If you have youtube , they are some great hypnosis video's, they can rationalise alot of the feelings around dealing with cravings... everything helps.
