Day 50 WTF, A Craving?
So this quite thing has gone pretty well. Not easy, but plenty of mints ( non nicotine), food and damn, Day 50 and I was craving almost finding a reason to get a pack and light up. Tried justifying the corona virus bs, the kids will be home, what about work? OMG I CAN TASTE ONE. But NOT GONNA DO IT! I’m too deep at this point. My lungs feel great. My skin is better, I don’t friggin stink all the time. My kids would be sad and disappointed! I’d spend money better used. Ok thanks gang, I think I just really talked myself off the ledge!!!!
`That's what we are here for. Just imagine you are talking to someone here who needs your help. Sound advice and I reassurance can lift the threat and give hope. We believe in you and I think you believe enough in yourself to get through this . Desire the freedom and self pride, the respect of your kids and others. Remember that you can do this and that you are worth it.
You would feel worse physically, and mentally and you would not like yourself very much. You might have more urges to come but they are only memories of past experiences not good ones either. Its a thought only, let it float away
It happens occasionally but the good thing is the longer you abstain the easier it gets and urges to smoke occur less and less frequently until there are no more.
I'm on day 67 and have found it very hard the last week. I'm lucky I have great friends and family to support me. I am struggling with the physical pain lately. My ribs and back hurt and not sire why.
Anyway keep strong and know you got this
