Cigarettes Not Smoked

Well, beginning day 3 and I am still very excited. Again, last night I got a little grumpy a little weepy but all in all the cravings are fairly easy to push away. Hoping it stays that way but always prepared.

That is what caused my downfall. Wanting/craving a cig was merely a passing thought. So my brain told me since it wasn't so bad, I could have a puff or two on the weekend and just do it again. well that has been the case now every weekend for the last month. I hope this time that I can deal with the cravings just as easily. I will post when I hear the monster trying his tricks again. Thanks for listening.

Hey Gammy, That nicodemon is quite the trickster and very sly isn't it! We quitters have to watch it, little craving by little craving, and not let it get the upper hand. I've been there and done that and want no more of that just one occasional puff or just one occasional cig roller coaster. Don't kid yourself, as you will be right back to smoking more often than the occasional cig just as soon as the nicodemon deems it the right time. So, Stay close to this site and your changes of quitting increase by 75%! Okay Okay, I don't know if that figure is accurate, but your chances WILL increase (I guess I am getting back at the smoker's lack-of-health statistics). So, strap yourself in and remember that even these slight, seemlessly innocent cravings will not last forever! (That is, if you don't smoke).

Gammy, Avoid situations that will tempt you and distract yourself :) Have a coping mechanism such as a chew stick or gum to substitute. Post often and let us know, we can help. Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
