Hi - I've been logging on to this site for a while now and have found it really helpful. I quit on 1/7/07 cold turkey, and was very euphoric about it all. Life has suddenly got a bit tricky and have been a bit down, especially as I lost 4-5 stone over a year, and have now put on half a stone since quitting. I'm moving and whilst packing up my stuff found a packet of cigarettes, open. They have now been in front of me for about two hours, and the craving (I know it's psychological) is continual.
I know I should go and bin them, however stupidly they just feel like the solution to all my problems.
Help please!!!

OO Tabitha put on some of your fav music - have you got a cd walkman or an ipod thingy or mp3. There's nothing as uplifting as listening to some good music while in sun. I love no worries by simon webb - it gives me hope.
Sorry I missed your down moment! I know you are doing well again - you are strong. Those 2 year old ciggies would taste soooooo nasty it would blow your mind. A fresh pack would make you cough and feel sooo sick and terrible after being quit for this long nevermind a pack that is so old lol. Throw those nasty suckers in the trash and stay healthy, beautiful and smelling fresh Deep breaths and a nice long walk or a long journal on this forum is always helpful in those horrid weak moments that we all go through!
I'm delighted to say that I listened to you all (although rather than walk I went for a beer!!), I poured fairy liquid on the cigarettes and binned them. Thanks for the help. Another day!
Sorry i missed your bad moment. But it seems the guys/gals were here to help you, which is whats great about this site, stay strong, you have the strengh, you've proved that!
