Horrible day

Petruchki:
What I used to do to take my mind off the hard craves was to make a list of every thing I needed to accomplish a task I want to do.  You should make the list as detailed as possible.  As an example I washing my bike.  1) check to see how much soap I have.  2) do I know where my bucket is.  3) do I have enough chrome polish.  ETC, ECT, ET.  By the time I was half way into the list I would be so rapped up that I forgot about the craves.  Sorry this is so long but I think it will help you too.

Yep it's me again....but I

Hi Kristilu and welcome back.  I remember you from before.  I too blew a 100+ day quit and had some rather scary things happen that scared the **** out of me.  This time I quit cold turkey and it seems to be working for me.  Are you using any NRT?.  Hang tough and post if you need us.

HELP! I'M ABOUT TO SNAP!

Kristilu:

    I knew you could do it.  I have faith in you.  Remember smoking changes nothing and in fact it usually makes things worse.  Hang in there and know that we are pulling for you.  Rock might be on the right path as far as the assisstant.
