Sorry to hear you're struggling a bit on day 7 but by tonight that's the first week done and dusted for you
You're doing great just hang in there, soon it will start to get easier for you
It's normal to feel angry at this stage of a quit and that colleague of yours is just ignorant at best
Please try to ignore these sort of people not easy I know
Maybe you could take a walk when you get a break or at lunch time that could well help you through this or just do something [ anything] to keep your mind occupied with other thoughts and things
Another thing that might help is to buy a little treat for yourself doesn't matter what it used to help me
just take some deep breaths.... do u think if you go out and smoke the day is going to get any better???? probably not your end up regretting it and probably feel alot worse... plus dont give your collegue any reason to gloat...
tomorrow is a new day and your have a little confident boost that although you have had the day from hell you kept strong...
you can do it.. and you can also pop on here for 5 mins and let all your anger out.... we will listen xxx
What an evil cow!!! Ignore her, you're doing great! These cravings get weaker and weaker, you've already got to day 7 so keep going. I know it's hard, but it's not impossible.
Some people just need a good slap, they are either trying to be funny or have a nasty streak, whatever, just ignore them. Your better then them
Deep breaths, drink water, go for a walk, a natter with another collegue. A cigie won't make it any better, we know that so do your best to take your mind of it.
I took Marg's advice and as we speak I am happily munching on a magnum classic ice cream (sod the waistline - the important thing is I DIDN'T SMOKE!!!)
Feel a lot better now.
Thank you so much guys
And you are right, if I had smoked a cigarette it would not have made a blind bit of difference - except to make me feel really bad about myself.
Am so chuffed, this has been the first 'real' testing time, and with your help I've got through it!
Glad to see you worked through it! It will make you stronger and find it easier to face the next test and so on and on and on..... And its one in the eye for old bag at work too! xx

Good for you Lisa.
Each time you beat a crave like this you will be stronger and better equipped for the next time.
It will get easier, so stay strong and you will beat this.
