Ohhhhhh thank you Rusty. I needed that. I'm having a rough one, today. I'm physically sick and irritated. I have been here before, and I know that this too will pass. It just gets old...Ugggg. I don't ever want to go through this again. I do know that I will be one of those people who will always have the desire to smoke...and that just bites to say the least. I'm soooo angry that I just feel like *()&^%$#@!.........but that surely won't help me. You all have a great smoke free day.

Sometimes a craving or a thought or an extreme desire for a cigarette just won't seem to go away. Even though most physical cravings actually last only a few minutes, sometimes we allow ourselves to dwell on the thought and it becomes an obsession. What can you do to control these thoughts and feelings? Another smoking cessation site posted the following positive affirmations that you can use to replace those junkie thoughts. Maybe you can think of others. [color=red]I don't need nicotine to keep on living. I don't need to smoke to feel alive. What I am feeling is my body and mind healing from years of substance abuse. This is a temporary feeling and will pass. I can and will live without nicotine. I do not need this drug to survive nor do I want to administer this drug to my system anymore. I am happy I quit despite how I feel at the present. The benefits from quitting far outweigh the symptoms during my temporary adjustment period. This will get much better as promised by the ones who traveled this journey before me. I have faith in that.[/color] Remember that any thought that comes into your mind that seems to be directing you to smoke is not a rational thought, but is a thought that is coming direct from your addiction. Learn to recognize these thoughts and use your powers of self-control to turn them into positive thoughts.
