my worst nightmare

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 3

This is also my second day. I have had a couple of bad moments today as well but I believe everyone in here that it will get better. We just have to hang on, take one minute at a time, and get through it. I come here everytime I get a crave, it really seems to help me get through it. We can do this!

Hang in there, TSIKOS. That stupid ol nicotine is just jerking your chain. It doesn't want to loose you! Let him know that you are in charge and soon he will be a much smaller part of your life.

This is my second day without smoking. My first day was a nightmare. In the morning every single minute I was thinking of taking a cigarette from my colleges (well I did not do it) In the afternoon, even if I went to the gym, my cravings were worst. I still feel dizzy all the time, so I have decide to take one nicotine gum, this is a relieve, but nothing changed. I cannot concentrate on my job. I am not sure if I can go through this situation. Do you think paches are more effective than gum?

From hanging around here, I have discovered that different methods work for different people. Some prefer to quit cold turkey and get it all out of their systems at once. I knew that I couldn't deal with the physical addiction, until I had dealt with my emotional issues relating to cigarettes. Prior to quitting smoking, I had gradually removed smoking from my life until the end of the workday. However, I always started to get cravings by about 2 or 3 p.m. and was dying to get home for a cigarette (if I hadn't already had one) by 5 p.m. (Then I would chain-smoke till I got my nicotine fix) The problem with me and the gum is that I did not take it until after the craving was REALLY strong. If I was going to use gum again, I would take it earlier. I put the patch on about an hour before I know that the cravings will start. (For me, this has helped to prevent them from taking over completely - at least the physical ones) I know there are alot of people that will disagree with me...but tackling the physical addiction before it hit full-peak has given me more strength to deal with my other major triggers.

Hang in there, everyone. Day 1, 2 nd 3 sometimes seems like forever. But you know, it will be over before you know it! You are all doing something wonderful. Something you can be so proud of. And be prepared for the sleepiness, dizziness, weird dreams if you're on the patch. I'm using the patch and I think I don't need to bother with a good movie, not when I've got these dreams to keep me entertained! Keep strong guys, and keep on posting!

I felt dizzy, forgetful, lost and some moments just plain dumb. But this is only for the first few days and it gets better. Do not doubt yourself or your quit. The nicodemon is making it hard for you so you will come back!!!! Just hang in there what you are going through is normal!!!!

Hang in there hun, the first few days are the worst, you body is craving for the nicotine. Stay strong, drink lots of water, sleep, eat sugar free candy, do whatever you have to do hun just dont smoke. Each and every single day gets better and better. Stay close to the site dont be afraid to ask for help thats what we are here for. You CAN do this. I quit cold turkey so i cant say if you should go to the patches or stay on the gum hun. This was a personal choice. Hang in there ... PrincessC :) x
