This has to be the worst day - not for cravings but for feeling so low, tired, totally an all time low for me, I don't want to do anything at all.
I have felt cross and bothered by everyone and everything, and I am angry at the constant (albeit low level lukewarm turkey) cravings I experience using NRT (inhaler)- I am only using it 3 times a day instead of the recommended 6 times a day as so far since I quit I haven't needed anymore and coped quite well and don't want to increase it. The question is whether to go cold turkey now when I am feeling so low (I am not tempted to smoke but I feel very vulnerable and will I be more tempted going through cold turkey?)
Am I ready to go cold turkey yet? I want to, to get rid of this nagging reminder I get with the NRT -it's wearing me down...maybe I should have started out at the higher dose, I don't know.
What I do know is I absolutely will not smoke. Sick, disgusting things!!
Nevermind, tomorrow is a new day and maybe, just maybe I will feel better....

Ok here is my soup recipe all together in one post lol!!
- It is fat free and only 22 calories per bowl so you can eat as much as you like - so good for beating those cravings...yeah!!
Veggy soup made from chopped veg: 1/2 turnip, 1 med onion, 1 sweet potato, 1 clove garlic, 1/4 of a white cabbage, 1 Leek, 3 carrots, salt and peppercorns, 2 veg stock cubes and 2 1/2 pints water. Boil then simmer till veggies are soft (about 1 hour), then use blender to make into a smooth soup.
It's slightly sweet and has virtually no fat and is loaded with good stuff. Works great for munchie cravings, both sweet and savoury...

If it's green it could be you have a chest infection - go see your doctor. I hacked up plenty, but not green stuff.
You also mention a sore throat - you should see your doc, yeah

Thanks everyone.
Today it is a beautiful and sunny day, and I woke up feeling much better - not going to make any changes yet though regarding the NRT - gonna wait till I've felt better for a few days first.
Thanks so much for your support!!
