Horrible day

Hey Petruchki,

I know what you mean. It seems that each day should get easier, but it just doesn't work for me. Day 7 was killer for me too. I remember asking this forum how it was possible for that day to be harder than day 1 or 2.
 
I also found that milestone days are harder for some reason. The demon doesn't want to let you go and he's upset that you have Hell week behind you.
 
For me what really helped was to go back and look at the reasons why I quit. Those hadn't changed and realizing that they were more important than smoking helped me get through the hard days.
 
Hang in there. It gets better.
