Help!

Hi,

on day 4 and finding it hard at the minute. I'm having a tough day at work and even though I'm using the lozenges I'm getting tempted to scrounge a fag off someone.

I'm determined not to give in, but it's soooo hard!!!!

[nsd_user663_2931]

Nooooooo! No fags for Dave!

You don't need a fag. Please don't let the evil wicked weed claim you back. We need you here on this side, not nasty nic's.

Those voices in your head that are screaming out for a dose of nic? Mentally bop each one on the head and take HUGE pleasure in doing it! Devise different deaths for each one if you want! One could get killed by a steam roller...another one could be hit by a ball with metal spikes on...just use your imagination!

Remember the feeling only lasts three minutes!

Don't do it!!

Ohhh nooooooooooooooo - don't do it Dave. Your hard day won't get any better by having a fag in fact it will make you feel worse. Go rant and rave on here or somewhere private where you can shout and swear without upsetting anyone. Is there anyone at work who knows what you are going through? Perhaps you can talk to someone there.

There are people here who know, but only the smokers lol. If I try talking to any of them they're likely to offer me a fag rather than see me suffer. Not meaning any harm of course. They're actually quite pleased for me and a couple are talking about giving it a go for themselves cos I'm not suffering too badly.

The feeling has mostly passed for now. I don't understand why I've such an urge to smoke cos surely the lozenges are providing the nicotine fix. What's that all about?

Ok, the emergency has passed for now. That was the first time i've really had a strong urge to smoke and i have to admit it was a bit scary! I always knew that it would be hard when I got a bit stressed at work. I guess i just have to try and stick it out.

Thanks for the advice and support everyone.

Well done Dave - you have got through the nasty bit and you will get through the rest as well.

[nsd_user663_3170]

Well done Dave, each hour, each day you are becoming healthier and further away from the grips of the nicotine monster!

You are doing great and you should praise yourself with that!

Well Done!

well done Dave - must've been real difficult with other smokers around..

if you have another bad one, try to get outside breath in fresh air...or stick your head

out of a window (no I didn't say stick it in the gas oven!! just feels that way for a while:D)

stay strong...
