Deep breaths
I quit smoking 16 days ago, it feels like the longest 16 days of my life. I am 33 years old, I have been smoking since I was 14. It was the dumbest decision of my life. I have 2 boys, age 2 and 14. I am all they have in this world so I am trying to stay alive as long as possible and be a good influence. The cravings are driving me nuts. I feel like its a drug addiction and everyday I wonder if I can fight it. I am eating like a cow, I am psycho, but things are getting better everyday!! Taking long, deep breaths are what helps me the most.
Stay calm girl . You have embarked on the greatest journey. Your boys will love your strength. You will be able to provide them with a better life . It is worth it . Cigarettes suck . I smoked for 37 years and now I enjoy my life to the fullest. Stay strong it will be worth it

We quit around the same time, you are a few days ahead of me. I completely understand how you feel. I'm trying to avoid things or activities that trigger me to want a cigarette. I've learned so far, I smoked a lot out of boredom. So I definitely try to avoid being bored. I have a three year old, so he keeps me pretty busy. Good luck and hopefully we we all have long term success!
