i am really really craving a cigarette right now. i have a headache and i am in a bad mood, i feel really jumpy and nervous and if my other half so much as [i]looks[/i] at me i am going to eat his head! he seems to be handling it so much better than me (we both quit at the same time at midnight new years eve).
i really really want a cigarette. i am thinking of all the reasons i have stopped, my health, my sons health, money, its shameful and disgusting thing to do, it smells, i don't want to die of lung cancer, i don't want to be weaker than a damn cigarette etc, but i can't help really wanting one, sometimes all those good reasons to stop seem to float out the window when i just think about how good it would be to smoke right now. and its easy to say "just dont think about it", but if i asked you not to think about a blue elephant, you'd think about a blue elephant!
so thats why i am on here. i've drank so much water today to stave off the cravings, and snacked quite alot on twiglets (low calorie so not so bad) aswell.
this is nearly the worst time over though right? first 2 or 3 days are the worst arn't they?? i just need to know i am not going mad!

i've just had my last cigarette (well almost 2 hours ago now) before the new year. at the stroke of midnight i was cuddled up in bed with my beautiful baby smelling son and my lovely fiance. not a fag in site. i barely even thought about my last cigarette as i smoked it! i was glad it was my last one,i think the anticipation of having the last cigarette was worse than actually smoking the last cigarette.
happy new year everyone!
ok phew! it was just a slight waver! been one hour and thirty two minutes since my last cigarette, and i am so glad!
tomorrow morning may be different all together, but i am fully determined to quit for ever and i am expecting to feel like a bag of crap at times!
my other half also quit with me, he is starting patches tomorrow! he had a few cigarettes left in his pack and we broke them up and chucked them in the bin! it was quite empowering actually!
thanks for the kind words of support guys :)

i give up smoking at midnight, and already i am wavering. don't get me wrong, i am gonna do this. but i feel like i am giving something up, rather than stopping something if you see what i mean. i have 3 cigarettes left and i keep feeling that i should enjoy each one of them to the full as they will be my last. but that is not how it is supposed to be!!! earlier today i was feeling that i couldnt wait to stop being a slave to the nicotine, now i am scared of stopping!
dreading it even!
oh how things have changed in the short space of 18 hours!
i am gonna try picturing really gross things when i smoke my last cigarette. like the contents of a nappy (diaper to you americans!), a spittoon full to overflowing, really mouldy food, etc. hopefully i will only be to eager to put out my last ever ever ever cigarette. but i am getting nervous now! usually when i am nervous i .... well smoke!
you will probably be seeing alot of me over the next few days! :8o:
thanks for the vent!
not sure about the cd yet, it is by paul mckenna and its a hypnotising cd. i decided not to listen to it in the bath incase i fell asleep - wouldn't have been that safe!
i am a big fan of hypnotism, for relaxation mainly, so even if the cd does nothing for my smoking, at least it will chill me out.
right now i am wound up so tight i am just about to snap!
when i listen to it i'll let you know if it's any good.
