Hello, I am on my 4th day of not smoking. I have smoked for 26 years. I quit last Sunday cold turkey. All in all I'm not doing tooooo bad. I have had some unusual crying spells where I just feel so terribly sad and hopeless. This is hard, but I am trying to remain positive and upbeat and remind myself this is something I want to do badly.
Thank you for the much needed tips. A technical question - I don't think my pic is appearing, is there something I can do about this? I posted it under the Avatar and updated. Maybe we just don't see our own pic?????
Are you using any NRTs? Is this the first time you've tried to quit? I know today will be hard for you, but you CAN do it. I think the first 3 days are the hardest and it gets easier every day. I'm on my 5th day today. This weekend I will be around smokers and I know that will be an obstacle to get through. I send every bit of positive vibes your way!
Thank you, I was finally able to download a pic by resizing it. I also don't like how my age says 50. I am 49 for one more month LOL. I have read a lot of posts and this site really is helpful. I guess misery loves company and it's helpful to know that I'm not the only one going through this and I love reading all the positive advice and feed back from everyone.
Upon waking every morning, after a minute or so I remember that I am not smoking and I get this disappointed feeling and a dread. How many mornings is this going to happen?
WOW, you are armed and ready for battle! I admire that. Today is my 5th day. It hasn't been too bad, but I have been alone all week. Tomorrow my husband and my mother-in-law are flying in, so I know it's going to get a lot harder! It sounds like you are going to win the battle today and it's always one day at a time!
Best wishes to you today Sparky! I am on my 5th day today and I'm embarrassed to say how many times I have quit in the past and gone back to smoking. I've been a "loser quitter" for way too long. I'm doing some different things this time. In the past I just tried to block out everything about quitting when I quit. This time I am embracing everything, even the urges, and I am doing serious battle with my inner addict! I want to put my inner addict to rest. I'm tired of all her excuses and justifications!
In my 2nd week of not smoking. I'm actually doing fairly well, but getting ready to go on a camping trip for 3 days with family who I usually have a blast with. My sister in law and a few other family members will be smoking and this will be the first time I won't be smoking (hoping not anyway). I am so dreading going and not smoking. I ususally look forward to this event for weeks beforehand ( we get together once a year). I just feel like I'm going to have a miserable time. Is is possible to have fun during heck week?
