OK I'm rocking along with my smoke free life, got my month ribbon, smelling good and fresh and Sunday night and again this afternoon on my 34th day I get this info from a friend about some issues and stuff I've been dealing (or at least TRYING to deal with) and now my mind is racing with all sorts of confusing thoughts and I have a zillion questions.
I'm thinking I wished I had not quit. Had I not quit, I could do like I always did and Smoke and reason and think about all these things. I KNOW that whether I smoke or not, that I can't change the situation and confusion or relieve my STRESS, but that's how I dealt or coped with "life's junk" for 35 years and it's very hard not to pick up and puff away.
I'm walking 3/4 miles a day at various times to work thru my craves and don't feel like I can walk any more - I've GOT to come up with some MORE things to do while my stress level is rising. The walking and deep breathing have helped but I can't walk 14 hours and I can't stand or sit deep breathing all day either.
HELP - what can I do to get thru or get rid of "strong craves at stressful times" outside of the initial things I'm done (walking and deep breathing)?
My Mileage:
My Quit Date: 4/10/2010 Smoke-Free Days: 34 Cigarettes Not Smoked: 510 Amount Saved: $127.50 Life Gained: Days: 4 Hrs: 21 Mins: 32 Seconds: 12
