Day 8

into week 2 at last. Not feeling as positive today. The novelty of the benefits seems to have worn off and I'm feeling sorry for myself - not really because of not smoking as such, I have to take a lot of painkillers and some days they make me feel a bit odd.

Oh well, sure I'd be feeling sorrier for myself if I hadn't stopped smoking. Think i should go and read my list of reasons again and remind myself why I'm doing this.

I think we are fooled into thinking it is more and more x x

The first few days it is 24/7 now it pops into our heads and it feels like a surge!!

Stay strong guys x x

The moments between those thoughts are becoming more n more

Thanks for all your wise (!) words. I just have to realise that I would have had sh*tty days when I was smoking too and that the last thing that would help would be to give in now. Although tbh it does seem tempting at the moment. I just wish I could feel more positive about this like I did a few days ago. I always seem to get to this point and then think what's the point. I don't want to keep doing this but I don't seem to have any motivation today.
