I refuse to quit quitting....

Today I hit day 15. Its still kind of rough health wise. Im almost done with the meds the doc gave me. I still have those very rare moments now where I feel like my breath just isnt what it should be. But I havent had an anxiety attack in almost a week. I dont wake up with my heart racing. I know that quitting is beatable. I know that its all a mind game between me and the nicotine. I wont say I dont have cravings at this point. I have a craving at least 4-5 times a day. But its not like an incredible urge to light up. Its a Hey a cigarette would be nice right now. Or seeing friends smoking and thinking I could have just a drag and feel better. But that is just the adiction talking because there is honestly nothing good about putting that stuff into your body again. I have to remind myself every single day that I made a deal with God on this. I asked for him to give me my breath back one night when I thought I would die. I begged GOD. Within minutes I relaxed. My breath came back slowly. I went to sleep woke up and instead of grabbing a cigarette as my normal habit I threw my pack out and took that as a sign. So some may say thats dumb but for me thats what keeps me going. One day at a time and if thats too much take it an hr at a time.

Congratulations on your 15 days smoke free!!!

As you said it's all in our mind, the only cravings you're gonna feel from now on will be mental not physical.

Give yourself credit for every day that you haven't smoked.

I thought that quitting smoking is absolutely impossible but here i am now 1 year and 2 months smoke free.

Keep up the good work,
