Day 40: bit of a morning...

[nsd_user663_4990]

No biggie, but i'm finding this morning a bit hard going.. dunno why.. it really quiet workwise, everything under control so no stress.. but with not enough to do, i have idle hands.. and mind.

I'm tired as i stayed up too late last night foolishly so perhaps tiredness isn't helping.

BUT!... on the upside... i'm on day 40, and my 6 week milestone is on saturday night... life the universe and everything!!!!! (42 days)

ahh sandwich van has parked outside the office, i'm off for some distraction therapy.. and.. a wispa bar.. and a bag of crisps.. and whatever else i can see that takes my fancy

Well done on getting here....

What ever it takes as long as there isn't a fag in your mouth what does it matter?

Might be an idea to make some lists up, chores that need to be done, tidy up the work area anything to get the mind working and occupied.

sorry to hear your struggling mate. Suppose we all have accept that its going to happen every now and again.

Glad you resisted. I am pretty sure even if we did light up now, the taste and effect will be shockingly bad!!

When i've quit previously, i remember the first one.. tasted foul. Like ashtrays smelled was the taste.. can't say it was enjoyable at all, and on previous quits, i regretted it instantly.

It won't happen this time, though, i assure everyone of that. Day 40 caught me unawares tho.. but 3 snacks later, i seem fine again. Passing moment. Phew

There was a good head trick someone told me about that I used to use. I will look it up or Marg or someone will know it. It was a checklist to go through in your head before you decided if it was a true crave. It went something like Tired, Hungry, something something and maybe something! When I suffered a strong crave I would go through that list, nine times out of ten it was one of those things and because I could logic the feeling away I felt more in control and better about it.

H.a.l.t

H.A.L.T!!!

Hungry

angry

lonely

tired.

All of these feelings mirror cravings.

Thanks Tonyx, I found it on your thread, as my brain is full of cheese.

Thanks for that, i'll print that off and put it in my wallet for ready reference.

Feeling quite alot better this afternoon, (thanks chrissie for the pm)

found quite a bit that due to me really caring about everyone else and their quits(and i so do!, really want folk to conquer the dodgy days they get) i now and again neglect my own and it ends up getting on top of me

Today mixed with Tired, was a more low ebb than i thought i was at.. but definitely much better this afternoon

cheers all
