Feeling low
Hi all I stopped smoking a month ago cold turkey and have not smoked but I’ve hit a bit of a wall,I feel a bit low in myself I’ve been like it for a few days now,I seem to have lost all my motivation and mojo is this normal
Thanks for reading
Firstly congratulations on one month, the next month is coming up. No need to wonder about feeling low I felt this way for around 3 months, and believe me I hadn't realized how much my relationship to to the cigarette needed to be sorted out. I was thinking like a smoker even though I had stopped. I read a lot about the habit, and Nicotine addiction at this time, and to help me determine why, I also found a video by NASIA DAVOS "How to grow to be a happy Non Smoker" it is on utube, you need to take the time to look at this. Something will resonate with you if you are truthful with yourself.
The other thing to help you is to list or think every night before you go to sleep what you enjoyed in the day it need only be one thing, but you might find more as you think of your day. We are in stressful times and this will also help you to keep you grounded and happy every day.
Hi and congratulations on quitting smoking! Perhaps the newness and excitement when starting the journey has worn off? There is such a high on the first days. A feeling of satisfaction and pride that things are going well and that you have taken back control of your life. With summer coming to an end, covid still lurking, we are all prone to moments of depression or sadness. Do try to have something enjoyable to look forward to every day. Simple things even, like watching a favourite show, a lunch with a friend, a night of bingo or just a phone call to a loved one. Pamper yourself too. When you look good you will feel good. Think happy thoughts . Think of the money you are saving, the friends you are making. Make plans for the future. You should always remember to love, live, and laugh.
Hello Guys
Thankyou for the comments encouragements and inspiration,
I’m into my 7th week now and feel I’ve
Turned a bit of a corner,I’m not feeling down anymore like I was,it was awful and I’m glad it passed,sometimes I feel a little Anxious but that’s normal right?
I’ve been filling in the time I have on my hands by getting into cooking,learning about Herbs and even started to grow my own indoor herb garden which is fascinating in its own right without the cooking,my cooking skills are very basic so it’s great to be trying new things now my taste buds have finally come back to life😊
I’ve started my running again too,I stopped when the low feelings kicked in because I was feeling tired and flat,I went yesterday morning and I could tell the difference in my breathing controll already.so it does get better guys,hang in there and never give in
Thankyou for your support and messages when I was at my lowest,I really appreciate it❤️X
Oh new chapter I have only just put all the pieces to the puzzle and got to see this absolutely inspiring share you have posted.

I have left a comment for you under the last comment you left for me under one of my stories. Most importantly I am so glad you are feeling better than you were a little while ago. You have helped me so much this morning so thank you ❤️
