Elaine...
Take one step at a time. Don't think of your quit in terms of forever. Just be quit for the next five minutes. Five minutes at a time. You can do that! Take some really deep breaths. It really does help.
What are you doing to distract yourself? Read a book, take a shower, kick, scream, cry, break dishes, do a jig saw puzzle...whatever it takes just don't smoke! As long as you don't light that next cigarette you have got it made and you will survive!
Remember: Every day is one day closer to never feeling this way again.
Here is another thought for you......
When I smoked, I wanted a cigarette all the time, Now that I don't, I only want one some of the time.
I hope this helps. Hang in there. We have been there and know what you are going through. It really does pass.
