what Have I done
Day 2 and stinging for one hard!!!!!!!! How do I beat the cravings.. it’s so hard when everyone that works for me smokes and I just want one!!!
Hi Case, its day 2 which is the the heavy end and the next few days as well. accept that life is now without the horrid cigarette, welcome the thoughts and know that they are only thoughts and not fact, in other words welcome your thoughts don't fight but observe and don't buy into them. If you buy into them you will have a cigarette. I used this technique with success. hang in there my friend 2 days is a great achievement.
Yes, point who commented are point on. Urges, or cravings are but thoughts. Either accept them and know you are winning and the nicotine monster is at your mercy , or ignore him by finding something else to do. While you have to deal with those smoking around you, do not envy them, for you certainly will not when ititiation is over. Perhaps look for the underlying truths. It is a fix. They will need to sneak off to feel better and even stand in inclement weather to do it. You are free. Watch how the first drag satisfies and the rest is robotic. Most of all change your view of cigarettes. In a few days they will be envious of You. Free. We all have wished we could quit but dismissed it as being too difficult and accepting fate for a foulish act decades ago. We were drugged and brainwashed. We are proof that you can choose to be free. You were brave enough to join us and take the first steps. We are with you all the way. You can do it!
