Hi Jess -
Hang on tight right now... it's tough... I pulled the covers over my head, I drank gallons of water and slept and catnapped... I called friends, I watched old movies and journaled...
ANYTHING - find some distractions that will take you away and get you off the world for awhile (I always found that "away" place in the bathroom with bleach and an old toothbrush and the tile looked amazing after a couple of hours!) Go for a power walk - around the block, in a mall (my fav) or go for a drive... just do something to get your mind off of smoking. YOU are in control here, friend!
Stay close to this site and read and read some more. We have all shared our journeys - go and find some coping skills and get some ideas of what will take care of YOU right now...
It does get better, but worry about the present moment; don't get ahead of yourself right now...
Covers over head - cry if you feel like crying... sleep... (such a wonderful and healing coping skill) ... just do not smoke.
Hold on... you are doing beautifully!
