Ah Phillip! This quitting lark just sucks, doesn't it? The only thing that got me through it sometimes was that I knew the only way to make it stop forever was to not smoke. That junky talk says just one will make it better. and it will....while you're smoking it. Then, soon as you put it out, the craving starts up again.
The only way to make it stop forever is to never smoke.
The cravings I have now are nothing compared to what you're going through. It gets better. In fact, if you really analyzed it, it's prolly better now than it was those first weeks?
As far as the pickles... *grins* go for peppers instead. The heat from the peppers actually increases ...ack...something about the endorphins like exercise. anyway...eating hot peppers actually stimulates the reward thingies in the brain. *laffin* I should get to bed...can't get the words right to say what i'm trying to say!
Just hang in there...you're doing it!

There were so many times that I thought about "just one". But it was all the "ones" that came after that scared me! :8o: One is too many, a thousand is not enough.

Hello dear Lady,
Are you feeling some let-down? You've had some pretty major goals going for some time.....and now you've reached them. You've celebrated....and it's done. Maybe it's as simple as needing something to strive for?
Just a thought.

Thank you Rob! Wonderful well-stated thread!
I struggled for way longer than most people [i]seemed[/i] to. Even though it wasn't constant anymore, it still seemed the battle would never end. But I can tell you this....some time in the last two months...I started having whole days when I didn't think of smoking! :) It does happen! and it is awesome!
Keep it going...
