Hi all, i'm on day 9 of my quit and I have had 2 SCARY freak outs. During the day is fine but last night and the night before i get a whiff of smoke in my house and that's it i'm off... i sat on my bed sobbing my heart out. I actually couldn't stop the tears flowing! I watched them hit the floor and i can honestly say i've never cried like it. During the same days i was elated i think, all chat about how well i was doing and how i was handling the craves etc. After each cry i felt a little better. I was reading ChickenStix's post and it made so much sense to me and it really made me laugh out loud. I felt a right idiot crying like i was but it always help's to know someone out there is going through the exact same thing is me. The odd thing is I know how much i want to stay quit and I have all of the positive feelings going on but suddenly there I am sitting on my bed, legs crossed, hugging a teddy and sobbing my heart out like a little girl again! I have a bad cold and sore throat now and am coughing up that iccky stuff but it's all good despite that as i'm looking at it as a closer step to being free of the ciggies for good! I won't get to read any posts again until the monday but i pledge to stay smoke free even if i have several hissy fits in the meantime :) Good luck everyone! If i can get through this anyone can, just ride with the crave and know it will pass soon. All of the successful quitters can't be wrong now can they, in saying that it does get better. We all have to start somewhere. That's what i've been doing and thinking even when i'm freaking out! Thanks for being there as it can feel a little lonely sometimes when it's all you want to talk about and analyise but are afraid to bore others too much!

Hey Olly, I cry like a baby too and I also feel embarassed that I let myself get so emotional. It's weird that I am crying so much too, because when I smoked I would barely ever cry. Now I cry like every other day. I guess smoking numbed me for so long that I must have just not dealt with my stress properly. Now I am forced to deal with stress cause I can't light a smoke to solve my problem! And I am glad too. This is all worth it. It does suck to be in emotional upheaval, but think how pissed you would be at yourself if you gave into it? You've gotten through 9 days and all that time fighting horrible cravings too! That is a long time and it is worth the freak outs, don't you think? I am so done with smoking. I can exercise now and breathe great. I think how lucky I am that I quit now and that I can get healthy and in my head I think "F*** cigarettes!" If you feel like you are bothering friends by talking about quitting you should just post on here more. I have calmed down posting a little, but the first week I was on here like crazy! I needed to ask lots of questions and to get support. You should do the same, we are all in the same boat! Take care and don't worry about being emotional cause we all are!
