GOING NUTS!!

Hey - It is 02:05am and I woke boltright at 12:43am on my 5th day of non smoking after smoking up to 100 cigarettes a day for over 20 years. I really thought I was devil possessed in my need for a smoke and it is only searching the net and coming across this site that saved me from going to the 24 hour convenience store just 2 minutes away and buying a packet of white ox. The quitline was shut and I really thought I was devil possessed for the past hour and have suffered terribly in my desire for a cigarette - thank God, the torment / torture has passed and I am still a non smoker however I do not know how many times I can go through what I just went through for the last hour or so. Anyway I AM A NON - SMOKER - what helped me is visualization. I visualize every night being a non smoker the next day - every hour I visualise, much like an Olympic athlete visualizes every muscle movement, every stride to wiin the race, I go through every hour of the next day visualizing myself as a non smoker and this really gets me through the day. I hope this helps Cheers Dean

you are a non-smoker Dean! we'll done for surviving the night. I can't imaging how tough that would have been but you were strong enough to fight it. If you're worred that it will happen agian, just remember that you can get through it becuase you just did! You're stronger than you think!
