Hi to all
Just found five mins to read some SSC mail and another five to explain in bullet points how I feel right now.... day 17.
After day five I was confident I could win this fight !
Up to day 12 I was knocking down wall's to reduce by cravings "I just confronted them one at a time"
Day 13 onwards
I have a high confidence that I can quit cigarettes ! but read on ?
Being in our works smoke room armed with a cup of coffee is no problem for me at all but and here it comes the smell of other peoples cigarettes has a feel good factor and I am sure a calming effect on me. I don't want a cigarette !!! but it's good to smell the smoke.
Back home which is a smoke free zone I am on edge, word sensitive, and not myself at all ? I must admit, I am not happy being a none smoker, I am NOT Weak I am not giving in ..... but I am not happy at all and it is this that is making me suffer the most and not the odd craving for a cigarette triggered by my smoking routine of the past.
Is there any one out there that can relate to the above.....
Please no shopping lists of why it's the right thing to do ? I know it's the right thing to do... but and here it comes I am not happy in being me right now !!!
Is this normal ?
Is this some kind withdrawal symptom ?
I am lost as to how to deal with this ..........
My Nick name was always my personal private Joke, but it isn't a joke right now ?
Fingers crossed I am not the first to feel like this, because this is a dangerous time for me and I know it !!!
Confused_U2 ???
