Ok so today is day 4 of not smoking. When I got home from work last night I had a complete breakdown because my husband did not ask me how my day was?!?! This feeling of wanting to cry is NOT normal. So will today be harder? So far it does feel that way but does that mean that tomorrow will be just a little easier? Last time I guess I was not as in tune to my symptoms because I was pregnant. Just a little support.

I think crying IS normal. At least that's what I told myself after crying my way through days 1-5. I think it's more about stress relief then sadness. You body is releasing pent up emotions. Hang in there. Yes, tomorrow will be better. Everyday you don't smoke is easier on your body. Unfortunately, our minds can make it harder on our emotions. The truth is after a period of time it stops being a physical addiction, and is soley a mind game. so I guess it depends on where your mind is. I wish you all the strength you need to make it through today...crying or not.

Hi madwall, for me day 4 was the hardest. During my first week I can remember having a king sized hissy fit right here in the community and luckily a lot of people came to my rescue to remind me of how important this quit is to me and to give me pointers. I really sympathize with where you are now and can only say that if you can just hang on and do whatever it takes to survive "hell week" or the first seven days you'll find that the intensity of the withdrawal will begin to ease up for you. The craves won't necessarily end but they will become much more manageable with time. Spend as much time as you can reading here, drink lots of water and chew on mints or straws or whatever will ease the intensity for you and get you past the crave. Some of the best advice I've gotten here was to remember to "gentle down" and be kind to myself during this quit... (thanks healerwithin) You really need to do that now - Quitting is hard work but you can do this - if I can do it anyone can. I'm cheering for you - hang on!

mad, This is absolutely normal and you will get past it! Take the time to pamper yourself and have that good cry, it will help. Concentrate on distraction and reward yourself for coming this far :) Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
