6 Days on

I'm day 3 & have been very angry & frustrated also had a cry today too when things didn't go to plan...I thought that may of just been a over emotional women but no I sense a change in my moods of which I'm connecting with quitting. It must need to come out of the body some how guess we are experience different side affects. All the best I hope our moods return soon too ...Grrrrrr haha :)

Allen Carr's "easyway to quitting smoking" taught me, the best way to see smoking is as an activity that does not offer you anything. The cigarette is valueless and its only the brainwashing created by seeing smokers "enjoy" a smoke that makes you think you want it (In reality they wish they never started and want to quit too). Feeling sad makes the cravings worse as moping makes you feel like you have "sacrificed the cigarette" and now you don't have it, missing out on something. However the cigarette is valueless so you haven't lost anything! Its simply the brainwashing tricking you! I allowed the moping to begin on day 2. I ruined my girlfriends birthday by moping about in the evening. The next morning I insured I celebrated every withdrawal to feel good about quitting, getting healthy saving money and not being trapped by the brainwashing that a cigarette is enjoyable. I'm on day 5 now, feeling alot better. I celebrated in my car today on the way to work haha. The process is rather becoming enjoyable because I celebrate alot. Reward yourself when you have a withdrawal as you are making yourself healthier. Always celebrate this process, it will only last a few weeks and then you wont have to face it for the rest of your life!

I am at day 6 also and I think this morning has been one of the worst days so far. The first three were quite bad, irritable, blue and yes even with the crying (tho this is not something I normally do) My husband is being very patient with me. I am frustrated because days 4 and 5 went really well, minimal cravings and no real "want to smoke" or "who are u kidding u cant do this" thoughts! I think its just accepting that its hard to quit and it is a journey of ups and downs!I keep saying to myself you wont regret quitting but you will regret continuing to smoke. You know what if quitting were super easy everyone would be doing it. How many smokers are there envying us right now saying I wish I had the balls to quit!! I know I used to envy friends who had quit and stayed quit!! Keep on keeping on and have faith if you continue on the path you will be stronger, healthier and life will be life again not life without smoking!
