Supernova, you are NOT being corny. I just read your post on the Prayer thread and you really lifted me up. If that's corny, then I love, love, love corn!!! So, please keep serving. LOL
I know, this is hard. It really is. Go back to the prayer thread and you'll see where I've asked for prayer. I've hit a rough patch in my Quit.
For you though, are you drinking lots and lots of water? I mean lots of water to flush the poisons out of your system and ease those cravings. I don't know why water works so well but it does. Do you have hard candy, gum, sunflower seeds, and other things to chew on so you won't get bored with only the stir straws? Get yourself a lot of things to chew on so you won't be bored. Get up and move around when a craving hits i.e. clean something, go brush your teeth, do 50 jumping jacks or some kind of activity that'll take your mind off of the crave. Inhale deep and slow through the nose then purse your lips and exhale slowly....this will help you to relax some. Keep reminding yourself with every single craving or withdrawal symptom that your body is in the process of healing. That thought really encouraged me through those first days. Keep posting and reading posts as much as you can. We're here for you. Ask questions, vent, tell us how you're progressing, etc. Just keep youself busy and talk to us. Okay? Remember, your body really is healing right now and you're going to feel really tired so, rest and sleep as much as you can.
Hang In There and Stay Strong,
Tutti
