This stress is really challenging.
I only just joined here yesterday. Am over 3 weeks smoke free. I posted yesterday about dealing with over 3 hours of intense cravings due to work stress. Turns out that is not my worst day. The work I did yesterday was to put in for funding for my job.
Today just learned I wont have a job after Christmas. Work decided they were not going to seek further funding for my role. Am so tempted to go out get drunk and have smoke. Gave up drinking over 7 weeks ago before the smokes. Am depressed, tired, stress, and angry too. Thanks for this forum as I have noone else to vent to. Im near tears but I know I wont go for a smoke or a drink for that matter. I come to far. Time to go out a clear my head and be thankful for the small joys in life. My dog, the weather, the flowers and birds of spring. You know what I mean. It will give me time to work out a plan. Thank you for your support. I need it.
Very sorry to hear about your job loss. It’s tough. Try to keep positive attitude and stay smoke free. Something will come up. However, if you relapse you will have more than one problem. Jobless and wasting money on smokes. Even when you get a new job you will still be smoking. Furthermore, smoking may hinder you finding a new job because employers nowadays are pretty negative towards smokers. Good luck and all the best.
I agree with the others. Nothing is to be gained by smoking or negativity. Things happen for a reason they say. We get in ruts and too comfortable and complacent. Just think.....you are doing so well with quitting smoking and you probably started out with those big doubts as many of us did. Forums like this lend support and boost self confidence. We can do what we WANT to do. Keep thinking positive, things do have a way of working out.
I'm sorry what happend to you.. nobody wouldn't say a word if you decided to quit quitting.. but if you want to become non smoker, you need to find ways how to achieve it, not excuses.. I believe, that everything happend for sone reasons, and this happend to you because you are strong enough to cope with it and even you can gain on this situation.. you are going very well.. forgive them and keep possitive thinking..
