This addiction is actually sposed to be more difficult than heroin. All I know is that breaking it was the hardest thing I ever did. I sobbed and slept most of week one. But I finally decided that I was totally sick of smoking and was NOT gonna smoke no matter WHAT life threw my way. My hubby and I fought, I felt like I had lost my sanity, the tears wouldn't stop....but here I sat, reading, posting, reading, posting. It seemed impossible, but believe me, it passes and then one day you wonder what in the heck took you so long.
You are in hell week. It can be just that. But each withdrawal symptom is a sign of breaking the addiction and a step towards freedom. Hang on with everything you can muster, reward yourself and know that it passes. You will not die from withdrawal, but you WILL die from smoking. Keep the faith and stay close!
Best wishes. Carole
