stress is a big trigger for me also, bold...probably for all of us. When something out of the ordinary happens, something sad, something unfair, something bad, or even something that is joyous...our mind goes back to our old way of life..."have a smoke". I know that you understand that smoking will not change anything about the current situation. It WILL cause you more stress if you do smoke. You will be upset with yourself over smoking after your 34 hard earned days of smobriety. My heart goes out to you about your family friend passing. Grief is a big trigger, but you can come out on the other side of this victorious.

You have a lot on your plate right now! We are sorry to hear about your friend and our thoughts are with you. Take each issue and give it the attention it needs. Take some relax and sleep time. Your body is definitely going through a rough time and it needs its rest and relaxation. Prepare yourself for bed early every night with a ritual and ease into sleep. Each day will be refreshed and relaxed :) Josie, Support Specialist

I found the hard times lasted about three days and then would dissapear. I would be so proud and feel so good and healthy when I held out. Don't forget how important the mind is. If you allow your brain to think about it in a fantacy way you will make it harder. I recall thinking about smoking for days. I would read or hear about someone suffering from lung cancer and I would be scared stiff. The craves dissapeared INSTANTLY. You will find you battle is a mind one now....not physical. You can do this.

bold, It can be hard and you are suffering right now but I'll tell you what's harder, - to do those prized 34 days all over again because that is what you will have to do if you fold now and quit again some time later. Fancy that again? I think I know the answer!! Tough it out now and take the kudos for a job well done because you are doing a job worth doing!! 5 weeks tomorrow! Chalk it up!! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/18/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1198 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 23,960 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �5,990.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 192 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 18 [B]Seconds:[/B] 28

Bold, perfect time to dust off some new coping skills! Remember, the cravings will stop as long as you don't smoke. N.O.P.E. This is typical for teh days you have, it will get better honest. Kick in some exercise, reading, something to relax you - bring snacks, this is the time to arm your self. Tell that junkie to piss off. :) Sue [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/3/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 118 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,180 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $206.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 11 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 18 [B]Seconds:[/B] 8

bold I am sorry that you are having difficult times, and I also know that sometimes, there just dowen't seem to be an answer to immediate concerns. In truth, that is accurate, there is not always an answer to every diifficult in any one given moment. However, for what its worth, I will tell you as true as I am here that smoking is never the answer to any situation in any time frame. I would not say that you are going insane, instead you might say that we are being retrained to respond to difficulties without hurting ourselves by smoking. It is the process of teaching ourselves this way of being that makes us feel we are going crazy. The truth is we are not going crazy we are instead going sane...When we smoked we were crazy, it is all a matter of degree and perspective... Hold on there my friend, you are doing a great thing for yourself, don't allow the events of the moment to take away what has taken you many moments to achieve... nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 247 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,410 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,729.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 45 [B]Hrs:[/B] 1 [B]Mins:[/B] 15 [B]Seconds:[/B] 22
