Day 3 1/2
hello all,
well this week seems to have been dragging on. things i used to do, like tending to my garden, holds no happiness. i am feeling sad and down, lethargic and drained, very emotional and terribly lost.
there are so many things i could be doing but it is like i only have no energy and only one amount of willpower ....... and it is ALL going to fighting off resuming smoking.
i am proud of me, but feeling very lowly.
:-(
Hey Fellow 3 and 1/2 day friend :) I was once told that cigarettes among many things contain sugar.. so we go thru withdrawals from nicotine and also sugar.. I find if I cut up a orange in slithers put in a container and grab one thru out the day It defiantly helps me :) .. and i also bought some Rescue Remedy lozenges (chemist), so when i feel anxious i pop one of them ! Stay strong Kit Kat we are going thru the hardest part right now.. I promise you will feel better and more confident even next week.. Truly think about it !! Its a bloody smoke .. That is all !! x x x
Hey KitKat i know what you are going through!!! Almost feeling like life will never be as enjoyable as before. It is only a temporary state and try thinking that you may feel low but you are NOT smoking so hopefully that makes you feel better. The feeling will fade and eventually go away, you will c. Hang in there
Thank you both for your lovely responses.
It is great knowing that what i am going through is not strange and that i am the only one!
stay strong, stay in touch
:-)
As your fellow non smokers have said it will get easier. Your body is just adapting to being clean then the good feelings will come. Be strong its worth it. All the best
