still struggling
Contemplating buying smokes tomorrow. This gets harder with time not easier. Day 36 and I am losing it. Not sure if because I cut down on the Champix, but if so how is it going to be when the champix is finished anyway? I keep trying to think about the money, all my money for this fortnight will be gone if I buy enough smokes to last. Nothing left for food. But I am miserable. and eating waaaaay too much food anyway.
Day 36 is fantastic!! Have u tried downloading and reading a book called the easy way to quit smoking by Alan Carr? If u are struggling that much trust me read it :-)
It's very eorth reading/listening to Alan Catr and being PLEASED that you don't need to smoke any more
Hey I hear you, I am smoke free for 4 months plus after smoking for 34 years and I am still struggling. I dont want to smoke and I am just trying to live as a non smoker. I always smoked when stressed or upset, work is really hectic at the moment and OMG I have been tempted, not because I wanted a smoke I just dont know how to handle stress. I have been taking deep breaths, reminding myself why I hate smoking and push my way through it. You can do it DO NOT BUY A PACK good luck
well I got through another day. Thanks so much for kind messages that helped. Plus especially that book recommendation. Something about the way that author looks at escaping smoking that really resonates with me and it defitinely helped me NOT buy any cigarettes. My problem has been the feeling of loss and the depression that just wont lift, or has not so far. Felt I could not talk to people about that though because it was silly and how could someone be depressed about not smoking? Well that Alan Carr understands it. He expressed exactly what i am feeling. So I feel refreshed at this stage now. Thanks again for the recommendation!!!! Very good book yes!
Stay strong we all feel the same I'm nearly 3 years didn't think I would get there and here I am so if I can you can 👍💪
How is it going? Tonight is also my day 36 after quitting. I just needed smoking so bad. But I bought some candies, the candy from childhood. I remembered about the time I'm really free, no smoking, no bad smell, no outside in a heavy snow night,... I hate the time I was a slave of cigarette. I even think that I will get a new better life after quitting smoke. It is coming. So, please keep!!
Thank you for commenting bsb. :) Good you got some candy instead of smoking. I guess we just do what we have to do. I got through day 36 without smoking and now up to day 43. It is up and down isn't it? Having some good days though with long periods of not craving so that is great. And yes it has to be a much better life without that chain. Yes!!
