I did so much better the first 60 days. It's been all downhill from there. I don't know why I thought it would be over by now. I must have been dreaming. When I do dream, I dream about smoking!
Yet, I know that if I had a cigarette, it would taste foul, hurt my chest, make me cough, give me a headache and my first thought after finishing that cig would be "I wish I hadn't done that". So I don't do that. I just keep on keeping on, not smoking, putting up with the really intense cravings and getting through them the best way I can. I am still on the gum, which I have tried to quit. Right now, I believe it's mostly psychological because I cut them in half or fourths. I can't be getting much out of a quarter of a 2mg nicorette! I've tried having a regular gum instead. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work.
If I could get a day off work, or a couple of days, maybe I could just go to bed, and stay there, use all my effort and concentration on not having a cigarette. But, that isn't going to happen, nor can it happen. I hope that this is part of just running it's course and will in time pass. Everything else has passed. Surely, surely this will too.
