Struggling

Posted in Quit experiences
schedule 6 Nov 2015

Tonight I am struggling, it has been 61 days and I still want a cigarette so badly, not only that but I would actually really like to have a few drinks, after all it wasn't only smoking I gave up, it was everything that I represented smoking with! The other sad part is I should have saved $800 and haven't- it has just slivered away with bills yet if I was smoking, I still would have paid the bills and still been in the same boat but right now do not see any difference in not smoking 😖

What to do, what to do

Or is it the concerns of disappointing the people close to you by starting to smoke again that keeps you strong

schedule 7 Nov 2015

Be really kind to yourself. Don't forget to deep breathe when you get destracting thoughts. I wanted to quit smoking. I couln't give up smoking without giving up drinking. I go to Alcoholics Anonymous a couple of times a week. I am much happier now and much more balanced mentally. It doesn't always get better noticably. One day last year it occured to me that one bad day these days was better than a good day ten years ago. Then I worked out how many good days I used to have and there wern't very many. Please hang in there for this frame of mind of yours will pass. Best Wishes.

Go and get on the grog, it will do you good.. I substituted the stinkn demons for cashew nuts, the first cupola sessions were murder but after that got used to it to some degree but when u wake up from the night after no wheezing, coughing, feeling like somebody has ripped your tonsils out...Believe me staying off the stinkn demons far outweighs being on them

So I did, I hit a bottle of wine, but sadly I ate a very large block of chocolate as well - wish I had thought of buying nuts instead! Slow but sure steps along the path to recovering
