I'm having pretty much the same as you all. Specially feeling so spacey and not being able to concentrate. Hubby tells me that it has nothing to do with my stopping smoking, that I was like that BEFORE I stopped. ROFL. Of course he's just teasing me, and he does understand what I"m going through. As much as a non smoker is able to understand. I just don't like this feeling, and I also still get cravings. Not physically like before, I know those are long gone. But the psycological ones are drving me nuts. Like right after dinner. That used to be one of my most "enjoyable" cigarettes, and I still find myself wanting one after my meal. Does this ever leave? Or will I always have that craving/feeling? Its not only after dinner but thats one of the main ones.
I survived a birthday party for my daughter yesterday, who smokes, with her friends there too. I could smell it, even though it wasn't a real problem, like me wanting to light one up, I still could associate the tobacco smell with wanting to light one. I can walk away from situations like that, but other times its not possible to walk away. I'm just afraid it could find me in a weak moment and then all my hard work is gone. What to do?
