Hey New Life...

18 years ago 0 +0 / -0 3

Didn't make it at all! I was disappointed in my 7 cigarettes but proud that I cut back so much. My biggest problem seems to be the time distortion thing. I caved and bought a pack by 8:00 a.m. and felt like I had lasted long enough. I've been reading on this site and others for hours, I realize that every puff just makes the withdrawal last longer. I am so excited about having all the junk out of my system in 72 hours it doesn't matter how bad I may feel. I think that thought is really going to help me. I am ready to do this, I see how important a plan is. I feel like I have a whole new attitude. Is it better to be more confident "I know I can do it?" or to know how easily I could fail? It's really humbling to know how weak you are, until now I thought I could do anything I wanted to. This site is helping so much, I'm getting more and more prepared.

Hope you made it through day one! Good luck to you... I'm on day three, not a good day for me... I may just have to go back to bed and hide under the covers today... Now we're expecting a major snow event for tonight, first time ever plowing snow all night without help from Joe Camel.

Hi Ronko, The 3rd days was the worst one for me, hang in there - it will be better. What helped me was to take deep breaths, it calmed me down and I forgot about the cravings. You can also look at the cravings as something positive - you are getting rid of all the bad stuff in your body caused by the cigarettes.

Hang in there you can do this, 1 min at a time. Day 3 was the hardest for me but I made it and look at me now. You can go hide if you want, I did that allot and it helped me through. When your out plowing tonight just open the window a crack and smell that freshly fallen snow, take deep breaths and enjoy the wonderful smell. But some low sugar werthers for the working too they are much nicer to suck on than a smoke.

Ronko, Take some you time and hide under the covers all day if needed. Relax yourself and use your coping mechanisms to get you through. Stay strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
