Yesterday, I started a thread called Coping With Day One. Here is chapter two. Whew! You made it 24 hours! Did you ever think that you could go a whole day with a cigarette? But you've done it! Time for a reward -- chai latte anyone? What's good about Day Two? Day One is over! You'll never have to do it again. But you've still got those feelings from yesterday, don't you? Shaky, achy, hungry, afraid, unfocused, hyper or sleepy? What's that all about? It's all about healing. It's all about the 4,000+ chemicals leaving your body. It's all about the nicotine addiction begging you for a fix. How are you going to deal with this on Day Two? Pretty much the same as on Day One. Pamper yourself. Let yourself heal. Focus on the good that you are doing. Practice changing negative thoughts to positive thoughts. Instead of "This is SO HARD!" try "This is hard, but I AM STRONG!" Believe in your strength to overcome being addicted to weeds rolled up in paper. Know that you can do it. Know that it has been done successfully by millions. Know that the way to do it is to never light another cigarette. Other activities for Day Two: Work on your quit journal. Copy into it threads here that spoke directly to you. Keep listing the reasons you are quitting. Keep coming up with coping mechanisms. Also, work the program tools over on the left. Read posts here and on other sites. Don't forget! Drink lots of water. Eat some food every few hours to keep your blood sugar up. Relax your shoulders and breathe! Take a nap if you need to. Your body is going through definite physical changes...take care of it. What are you going to do if you have strong craves? Delay. Distract. Take a walk. Change the scene. Get busy and clean the bathtub. Drink another glass of water. Push through. Each one you don't smoke takes you closer to where you want to be...a non-smoker. Lastly, stay in touch with us. We can help you because we've been through exactly the same thing. If you feel like crying or screaming, do it here. If you think you might smoke, COME HERE FIRST and post and wait for a response. Make the title of your thread HELP!!! so that someone will see it. You can do this...I know you can because I did it! And if I can do it, after 40 years and a pack and a half a day,

Kaycee, I did that myself sort of...after trying a day without, I used the gum for a couple of days. Then I just spit it out and bit the bullet so to speak. Others have had success with the patch or the gum. It doesn't matter how...it just matters that you do it! Congratulations on making it to Day Two! Rusty :)
