have you ever felt really fed up?

[nsd_user663_2762]

i know stopping smoking is hard but lately i feel like my world is just crumbling around me.

i dont wanna go in to a big long winded story but ever since my dad died it just seems as though everything is shit. and all i wanna do is smoke. cause now i dont care about stopping cause i just want something nice to do in my life and everything seems so shitty that at least if i had a cig it would be a relief, even if it was for only a few minutes.

i have quit smoking for over 6 weeks now so the only reason i havent had one is cause of the time. but i do want one and if life dont get better soon well, im only human so.........

thanx for listening to me being really depressive. im usually bubbly, honest!!!!! x x x:rolleyes: x x x

Oh est. life has realy been a bitch to you lately love. Its only natural to feel down what you have been through lately. and God love you, you have been sooooo strong through it all. give it a little more time love, A dirty smelly old fag wont put any of it right. You would only feel even worse darl. just try a little longer. xxx

I am so sorry to hear you are going through such a bad time. I get thoughts about smoking frequently and I am stil learning that the cigarette is not the answer - and it is tough. I associated so many of my frames of mind with smoking (I feel angry, I'll have one - I feel upset, I'll have one, I feel tired, I'll have one... I feel stressed, I feel sad, etc) that is is so difficult to unlearn.

I know it is always easier said than done but like dossydo says, it will pass. The yearning is just a trick. Actually CatWoman posted a few good links about quitting - have a read, it may help you address it?

Remember: Life is short and not meant to be sad, even if it feels like your world is falling apart around you.

Keep your chin up.

I feel sorry for you Est but I also feel exactly the same. It is so bloody hard this, you have to just take it a day at a time. I am hoping that by just holding on for as long as possible, I will get to a place where it will be a lot easier.

The best advice I can give you is to hang on in there and think of how pissed off you will be if you do have one.

I am sorry to hear about your sad loss Est. My brother said to me the other night how proud my Dad would have been and that has given me another incentive not to start smoking again. I know it can be hard in times of stress and sadness but try and focus on why you want to stop and keep busy.

thank you guys. it is a great support to know that someoe cares.

i still haven't had a cig but i am now not engaged. My relationshiop with my fiance is more or less over. See what i mean about everything going to pot?

he just doesn't care about how im feeling at all and i cant marry someone who doesnt care.

and you're right; my Dad would be so proud of me for quiting. he hated me smoking.

Well i'm at work later and believe it or not it will actually be nice to get out of the house.

guess i'll just have to keep saying my prayers. :rolleyes: x x x

Poor you - I hope everything works out for you, don't put to much pressure on yourself though - its a lot to deal with at the moment.
