Hang in there! Don't give up! The only way to be a comfortable ex-smoker is to just get through this anyway you can and not smoke! These periods of wanting to smoke will come from time to time, no matter how long you've been smoke free... it's just that the longer you go without smoking, the less frequently these times become. So it's not abnormal for you to be feeling like this after 40 days. It's perfectly normal and you're not alone!
What you need to do today is reward yourself for 40 days of hard work! Have you been rewarding yourself all along? Rewards are NOT optional!!! They are an essential part of quitting, so do NOT skip them because you think that they're not important. And if you haven't been rewarding yourself, then it's about time you did! Be good to yourself. Treat yourself to a nice hot cappacino or a bubble bath or rent a movie, make some popcorn and enjoy yourself! Or go out to eat tonight! Or go shopping and get yourself something that you've really been wanting lately. Be good to yourself and show yourself that quitting is rewarding! You're doing a great thing for yourself by quitting... show your body that by doing something special today! You deserve it!
Crave the Quit!
