My only night at home through the week and i am going crazy . I feel like i have been imprisoned for years. Too early to sleep to late to do anything. Might chain myself to a radiator to stop my popping out.Or wire the widow's and doors up to the mains.

Thanks Lynne, bashed myself over the head with a hot iron for ten minutes, that seemed to do the trick. Only kidding but thanks for your support. Apologies for the English on previous post. I am wearing boxing gloves to stop me from picking cigarettes up so typing not that hot . Kidding again.

Alexander, Just breathe and keep reading and keep posting. You need to do something to change your focus....is there any projects you can start working, clean out a drawer...a closet, do a load of laundry, do up the dishes....try and occupy yourself. You can make it!!

alexander, i have found that when I feel like that, the only thing is to distract myself, so I go and have a hot bath, or read a favourite book,or watch a dvd, anything to get cigarettes out of your mind hugs lynnexx [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 10/24/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 21 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 325 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �84 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 27 [B]Seconds:[/B] 48

Cigarettes Not Smoked

Hey Alexander...As long as you have those boxing gloves on...why not head on over to the gym....or it that's not possible, go for a walk...I'm getting a little lazy these days...but those first two weeks I had to go to the gym almost every day to deal with all that extra anxiety! P.S. I think you are going to be mighty fun to have on this site. Bashing oneself over the head with a frying pan is a very creative method of distraction....and the boxing gloves...you've gotta be one of the most creative thinkers here! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 9/11/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 64 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,297 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $320 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 44 [B]Seconds:[/B] 4

Alexander, Perhaps you're getting through this with some humour. You've made me chuckle. After supper, I'm settling in for an evening of crime scene shows. That'll take my mind off things. I could cheerfully throttle anyone who walks my way, so I figure its safer to watch TV. Hang in there, it all gets easier with time.

Golly, I hope you pulled through this without admittance to the critical care ward! Chaining yourself to the radiator is a unique idea....explaining the ligature marks around your ankle to your spouse is another issue! :gasp: Anyone up for a game of twister?

Alexander, You've received some great advice from your fellow quitters. I can only echo them: get up and moving with a distraction. Also try to sneak in a reward for staying smoke free. Keep persevering, Danielle ______________________ The SSC Support Team
