The Challenge
Over the last two of days I've had a couple of instances where I just wanted to light up because I was sooooo angry. I remembered reading a post that said I would still be angry.......but with a ciggie in my hand. How true! I took a few deep meditative breaths and thankfully got over it. I don't know if it was a craving or an associative thing, but bet the challenge. I hated the experience.
Hi MJ45, You sound as if you handled it well, I can remember about week 3 that I was so angry and wanted to have a ciggie (I don't have access to any unless I go and buy some) and I was like that for about 5 days, it was terrible I was like a little spoilt brat . Thankfully I don't have many days like that now . I am on day 89 and last week had my 1st night out with our friends where I knew that there would be people there that smoked. With dread I went but found that I didn't crave for 1 and it was great not having to go outside, in the cold, on my own to have a ciggie. Keep up the good work, it's not easy some days but it is so worth it.
Hi MJ45 unfortunately you get days where you are so angry and the worst part is you can't understand WHY. It's a horrible feeling.Alll I can say is they get less and less. Well done for getting through it . unfortunately I don't think a cigarette would fix it. I treated myself to the hairdresser this morning and forgot to put a patch on, so when I returned home to find my washing rack in the bottom of the pool I was not too good either. Patch applied. Good now. Well done
Thanks Jenny S. How strong are you not to have relapsed after 5 days of being angry. I look forward to my day 89.
Thanks Nanette. You're right. A ciggie wouldn't have fixed anything. If anything it would have just added guilt to the situation. Well done for not chucking it in with the washing.
Thanks guys
