Help Me!!!

[quote] I believe, stopping smoking requires a true desire to NOT to smoke, which I don't have yet. [/quote] Dear One, You said it all... Until you want to stop smoking more than you want to smoke, you won't stop smoking. When you're ready to stop, we'll be here to support you...

Getting harder

Hi alexa - Sorry I'm coming in late - didn't see this post till now. We are very close in our Quit time, I think I am a couple of days ahead of you, so we are RIGHT THERE WITH EACH OTHER, dear one! HOLD ON TIGHT TO YOURSELF. Take that helpless feeling and turn it right into anger - anger at the junkie~ Stand up *straight* in front of that junkie and say NO! N.O.P.E. Not this time, Not Now, Not Anymore! Let that junkie idiot know YOU are now in charge of YOUR life, PERIOD. Some advice that got me through - get into your favorite jammies, hold on to yourself and you hold on to that Quit with everything, AND I MEAN EVERYTHING YOU HAVE. And you keep coming here and posting and reading and posting (and reading more and more). I am on the messenger, if you need me let me know and I will sign in. Just dig your heals in, and stay there. You are not a smoker, so smoking is NOT an option. Walking helps me sooooooooo much - and the more frustrated I am, the more angry I am, the stronger the crave, the faster I walk. I just walk till its all walked off - try it, it works! JUST DON'T SMOKE! Many Special Blessings!

New Guy

Hi tiga1124 - You found such a great place - lots of love and strong support here. Stay close, post and go back and read some of the old posts (that really supported me). Dig in and stay strong - and post often so we know how you're doing. Many Blessings Be- Healer [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/5/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 38 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,331 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $176.7 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 25 [B]Seconds:[/B] 33

The void, the emptiness and that feeling in the gut!

Hi Colleen - Hang in there... The energy will most likely shift (from where you are/were when you posted) and remember ~ when energies shift, emotions usually come up. If this doesn't get better for you in a week or so, let me know, as I have a suggestion that may support you on your journey. Blessings be- Healer [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/5/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 38 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,333 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $176.7 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 31 [B]Seconds:[/B] 57

Alexa, Please go back and reread your words in the posts here. You keep focusing and looking for the negative. I am very close to the 30 days, and I can tell you one thing for sure. IF I WERE LOOKING EACH DAY FOR THE NEGATIVE, I WOULD SURELY FIND IT WITH NO PROBLEM AT ALL. Stop! Stop... S t o p - dear one. Gentle down the energy around you. Be kinder to yourself. You are complaining about weight gain (I sure know that one too as that has been a part of my process). Soooo - I walk the mall each day, what are you going to do about the extra weight? - NOW - what about putting on your fighting boots, and as they say here - lace them up tight and get out there and fight for YOUR Quit! If you don't fight, there is no Quit. That I can tell you for sure too. THIS IS YOUR LIFE HERE YOU ARE FIGHTING FOR ... When you went to reward yourself you ended up upset and taking the reward away from yourself and crying?? What? How is all of this sounding to you from this post? Can you see how you are sabotaging yourself here? No reward because you were crying because you gained weight??? You are looking for and expecting a perfect world here, dear one. Well this is Quit time - there is NO perfect world. Now do you want to stay Quit? None of us can help you until you KNOW, WITHOUT A DOUBT, that you are determined to stay Quit. And your Quit has to be for YOU not because someone threatened you they would never speak to you again if you didn't quit. (Do those words even sound right to you?) You said and I quote "I see no benefits so far" - YOU ARE NOT SMOKING - YOU HAVE STAYED QUIT - where are you? Check in w/yourself, dear one, please... Take some time and get yourself centered... We are all here for you, BUT you have to be the one to take the journey, and it is a hell of a journey. I started a thread about rewards, Alexa, under "stats" - go there and post, and GIVE YOURSELF YOUR REWARD. Stop crying and being upset, stand TALL and face this addiction with all you have. Fight Sista, Fight!!!

starting to slide down that slope...

Struggling - What about going to bed... Sleep is so important in this part of your Quit, and you aren't feeling well. Turn on some music or the TV (low) and just drift off and heal... You can do this.
