Jean,
Are you still there? Keep venting, girl.
I know exactly what you're going through and it hit me exactly at the same time. For me, it was more like one constant craving and it happened on Day 3 and then during my second week. I felt totally Zapped of energy after it was over with AND that's not too long. You may have to fight today but that's what we're here to help you through.
For me, when those cravings got seriously strong like that, I had to keep drinking that water but if you'll notice, you're getting stressed out/tense/angry. This is the point where I had to literally b**ch out that demon. Say things like:
Ahh, Bite Me!!!
Back off, this is my life, my choice, my quit!!!
I AM a non smoker!!!
This is what I want!!!
You won't break me, I'm in the one in charge here!!!
Stop wasting your time!!!
Jean, whatever you can think of that puts you IN CHARGE, that's what you need to say to the nicodemon. See, it helps you to blow off steam BIG TIME, puts you in charge of you mind and body, and helps you through the craving. Give it a shot. Okay?
Take a big swig of water, slam the bottle down, and then say, "Ahh, bit me!!" Sort of like you're in at a bar and you are some kind of tuff!! It worked for me.
Keep posting. Post and don't smoke.
Stay Strong with Me!!
Tutti
