Didn't smoke!!

I had two very tough days (day 14-15 smoke free). I must admit I did not handle the cravings gracefully at all. I was consumed by anxiety and stress, and wanted nothing more than to go to the store and buy a packet. My poor family, I feel I really took it out on them (an emotional wreck) and yet I don't really understand why, just an ordinary day.but I got through did not smoke and am so happy I didn't cave!! I refuse to start from day 1 again. Today is a much better day and I feel great again. This must be the ups and downs of quitting and my body must be letting go of its addiction. If you are on your quit journey be prepared for days like these, but they do go away, thank goodness!! And I hope for my sake they dont come back to often!!

Hang in there...You can do it...The cravings do get less, as well as less intense. My family has copped a few of those "days" too, but they would have done or gone through almost anything to see me tobacco free...for me its day 22 and I am feeling heaps better. I just tell them daily that i love them and that i am so grateful for the support they are giving me.

Yes, the grace of family and friends when agitated with coming down. My mum who I see daily has been a saint and Shtaba Ill take up a leaf in your book with the daily thanks. I swore and that's very unlike me. I am not my true self coming down. All the best Kristy, hope today is much better for you.

Well done...the next urge will be easier to beat. I think but almost there
