Going insane
I'm going insane! Everything I look at or touch pisses me off! I haven't had a smoke since 430 yesterday arvo so it's just on 24 hours. There was even a rock in the wrong spot on my driveway (my $&@@&&& driveway is made of rock). I want to be around my family, but I can't or I feel like I'm going to lose it.I'm hoping this feeling passes soon.
Hang in there Cameron1987, I know the feeling... all to well.. Just stay focused and dont give up, and although it seems like the cravings and frustration will never leave you it will... Try and keep buys go and read other stories, play a game, or something..i am so wanting to go smoke, but I know that when I do, I am going to feel sick lightheaded and all my hard work will go to waste..I have been smoke free for 7days... it will get better....
distract yourself
go clean the oven...
you have no idea how much aggression you can take out on that oven
Hi Cameron 1987. There are hundreds that totally identify with you. Don't give yourself a choice and if you do make it staying quit. It helps if every fibre of you refuses to give in and that any hope that cigarettes will benefit you is totally crushed.
I am sure your family would want you quit. However , this is something we should do for ourselves. Stick with it and eventually you will not believe the rewards you will get.
Good luck keep posting and be a winner.
Thanks everyone! It passed but took about an hour. I'm feeling better now. Thank you all for your comments, you guys are helping me get through this.
That's awesome Cameron!! so pleased to hear you got through it... I'm day 12 today and it does get better - you can do this. I got a bit cranky with the world days 2-3 but I just reminded myself that this was me getting over the physical addiction to nicotine. But you recognised your cranky mood and dealt with it without giving in - huge kudos to you :o)
Hi all hang in there yes it does get easier, and yep bet you are getting sick of hearing that, I did in the early days when all I could do was cry, thought my family were going to call men in white coats to lock me up, - I am still so stunned that I came through it and am now at 66 days, even I find it hard to believe. Just remember every cigarette not smoked is a step on your own path. Take each small step as a win and keep posting lots and reading them as well we are here to support each other
