I've been doing great for the last 12 days... pretty much in control, managing the carvings and feeling pretty great. Then, today it just became so hard..... really want a smoke, can't stop eating....... Just feeling the toughness of the quit. Why?

Well you are addicted and I guess many call it the nicodemon who wants you back to smoking..... it is simply the addiction.... your thoughts start going downhill, you start missing the smokes and feel you are being deprived..... these are nicodemons strategies to get you back. Do NOT fall for it..... be strong and think of positive things (reasons you quit) and you will feel better in no time. Easier days will come but occasionally there will be the challenge.... it gets easier to get back on track mentally after a while so be strong now!! Read lots on here.... it helped me tons and post again in a little while :)

The bad days crop up from time to time, it can't be plain sailing all the time (mores the pitty) as time goes on the hard days become less frequent and easier to deal with.

The important thing is that you don't give in.

Hang in there hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

all the best

Nic
