Struggling

My quitting stamina goes in three phases. All reved up and full of courage for new patterns of behaviour. Then I plateau and sustain my quit. then I collapse with fatigue. However for two thirds of my time I am on the case. Also I never dip down as low as I was before my attempt. So I am constantly improving, despite the lapses. I get vulnerable when I get tired. four days without smoking is a good amount of time. You should credit yourself for progress.

day 3.

had a fight with my partner and although i really wanted a cig i just shoved a nicobate gum in my mouth.. read some stories on here and have calmed down a bit...

its the same fight everytime and the same reason i end up smoking again..

its bs that i cant talk to him about our lack of intimacy.. i suspect his got a drinking prob and cant communicate his problem but im constantly dreaming of having an affair and feel crap about it.. but the last time we did it was when i fell preg a year ago and i try and talk to him and he sits there with bithing to say so i get frustrated and smoke...

well not this time .. im over it!

day 4 here i come.. suffering struggling but determined!

Its because you dont see it as a long term prospect. None of us really think its gping to kill us.. but It will. I watched my friend die of lung cancer at 48. Just go one day at a time. How would u feel if you were told u had cancer. You would regret smoling then. Try and find something else to enjoy. I like a good cip of coffee.
