Hi Lin,
Well, you did it for 24 hours! Now you know that you can actually break the smoking cycle. Quitting smoking is serious business; therefore you have to be serious about your desire to quit. You need to prepare yourself. Have a plan of what you are going to do when the cravings seem unbearable. Can you do a puzzle, ride your bike, take a walk, turn the music up loud and dance, punch a pillow, go to sleep, take a bath, etc, etc. These are only a few of the things that members here have used to get through the craving for nicotine. Read and work through the online program here and educate yourself about what to expect in this quitting process. Think about everything that you read. Reading and posting here is also a wonderful way to work through how you are feeling. Your whole brain and body is crying out for it's fix of nicotine. We are drug..nicotine..addicts. You must go through withdrawals to come out on the other side to freedom. You can do this; just get serious. Welcome to the scc.
