Misha,
Listen to Freemom too. Absolutely b**ch that craving/withdrawal out!! Target the nicodemon with your anger and let him have it. Say whatever you want to say to him, make up some tuff sounding stuff, and holler at him. That may sound silly but believe me, it works. It helps you to release that anger and stress that you're feeling right now.
Look, you've got TWO HUGE days behind you and believe me, they are HUGE. Get through Day 3 and you'll see that it does get easier. Keep posting.....VENT all you want to.....Just don't smoke. Okay?
Drink that water...lots of water; get up and move around with each craving i.e. wash your hair, clean something, put on some music and dance all over the house; go for a walk, etc.....just move so your mind won't be on smoking; I'll post the breathing exercises for you and try them because they really help; chew gum, toothpicks, hard candy, sunflower seeds, straws, etc. to keep your hands and mouth occupied; keep posting/venting and read lots of post. The workbook really is a huge help. Avoid those triggers early on in your quit as much as possible.
Keep talking to us. We understand what you're going through and we know you can do this. You CAN do this. The first three days are the worst but hey, you've just about got it whooped so hang in there. Okay?
Stay Strong,
Tutti
