Hello everybody. This is my 9th day on my journey. I just found this forum and I love everything about it so far. I have a question though...is there a way to instant message people who are online for those times when the cravings are real bad and you need somebody to help you through? I was part of another group, but that option was not available there. I was nice to just type about my problems, but I had to sit and wait for responses. Sometimes you don't get responses for hours.
Well, either way...I look forward to walking through this process with all of you.
I completely understand your frustrations. I have 3 small boys ages 7, 6, and 2. My 6 years old seems to give me the most problems. I do believe that he suffers from "Middle Child Syndrome". That being said, he whines....a lot. The only thing that I have been able to do is let him know that I'm upset and that I need to get away from a minute. I'll either go outside or go sit on my bed for a couple of minutes. Some times this works. Other times it makes his tantrums even worse. I don't know if I'm doing it right, but I'll be keeping an eye on your post to see if I can get any helpful tips also. :-)
I smoked 1 1/2 - 2 packs a day for 20 years....so we are pretty close to the same. There were times that I "cut back" but then I never made that final step of quitting. I guess I'm just one of those people that have to make up my mind in the moment and do it. I didn't set a quit date...I just quit. I still had 3 packs of unopened cigarettes. They went in the trash and I'm loving my decision.
I finally made that step. I quit at 6pm ET. I plan on being on here quite a bit. I figure if I'm focusing on helping other people, then I won't be thinking about my own cravings. LOL.
