Cigarettes Not Smoked
Well done folks, keep up the work, you are doing this. Those urges you are feeling are just the nicotine monster's death throes as it dies!!!! I was a heavy smoker for 30 years and perviously could only stop for 3/4 days. . It will feel a bit tough at times during Hell week but believe me, it does get easier, and within a few weeks you will have that moment of revalation when you are in a situation that would normally reach for a smoke, and it doesn't cross your mind. Keep jumping in and posting, everyone here has been where you, we are all here to help.
BGH, just remember that this temporary inconvenience will yield a huge permanent improvement. Are you rewarding yourself? Drinking lots of iced water? Changing your routine? Cleaning your house and car to get rid of the smoke smell? Doing laundry to get rid of the smoke smell? Taking care of YOU? Exercising? Taking a walk to smell the roses? Getting as much rest as possible? Remembering why you wanted to quit in the first place? Anticipating all the wonderful benefits that quitting will bring to your life?
As Lainey said, your body is healing. Remember to say N.O.P.E. (not one puff ever) each and every day. Trust me, this will get better! Hell Week really is truth in advertising! You can do this! Post as often as you need, if only to rant and rave! Congratulations on 4 smoke free days! We're all rooting for your continued success!
