Hang on Able, You WILL get through this. You have done the right thing coming here. I wish I had an answer as to why right now you are having such a hard time. It sucks!!! I know at day 45, I had about 3 bad days, but it did get better. Just hold on, you can get through this. What have you tried to do so far to take your mind off it? Just do whatever... clean, go for walk without money, have a nice bath, rent a movie and make popcorn, or stay here and rant. Remember, A cig won't make anything better, it will in fact make you feel terrible about yourself. You wouldn't want that, would you?

I dont know why the craves sneak up on us like that but they do. You need to get a plan in place for when that demon is sitting on your shoulder, do something to distract yourslef, go for a walk, read, go to a movie or take a long soak in the tub, anything to get your mind off it. Don't dwell on the thought and dont try to analyze it just let the thought pass through and go on with your day.

abletobreath, You need to come up with a plan! When a craving sets in, think about what are you going to do or what you can do to not give in! Try writing down some coping techniques to particular scenarios. For example, the house is clean there is nothing to do and the cravings kicks in. You have already eaten and you are in a state of panic. Try leaving the house, go for a walk, call a friend, jump on the site, have a shower. Anything that takes your mind off of temptation is beneficial. Quitting smoking is not easy and that is why we are here! We are here to help you learn on how to quit smoking and be successful. You can do this! Keep us posted and be sure to jump back on the site to let us know how you have coped with your cravings. We all learn from each other!
