SteveK -
You did an amazing thing! You went to town, came home again
after 4 hours and DIDN'T SMOKE! Aren't you proud of yourself?
I certainly am proud of you. You are beginning the best
journey of your life. You will feel better, I promise - it's
just going to take a while - try to replace your cravings with
different rewards and everytime you think of cigs - replace
your thoughts with thinking of somewhere pleasant - like the
ocean...and watching the waves. Think of the smell of fresh
cut grass and take a trip down memory lane about doing the
yard work for your parents when you were growing up...just get
lost in those thoughts.
When you can't take the anger anymore, turn off the lights,
lay down on the floor and concentrate on your deep breathing,
listen to yourself breathe and try relaxing every part of your
body from your toes on up to the top of your head. Keep
breathing - deep breath and hold it for 5 seconds then blow
it out through your mouth.
Just take it one hour at a time. Know that you are doing the
best thing you can for yourself.
