Hi Ben, trust me, everyone doesn't want a piece of you, it just feels like that. Your probably feeling a bit miffed cos of yesterday, but remember, not many of us were successful on our first quit! It takes time, preparation, determination, and most of all you have to want to do it really, really badly. Take some deep breaths, the world isn't against you, and it's your own demons that are taking a pop at you.
Find a distraction and better still if you can use the internet, find something to make you laugh, cos all those niggles fly out of the window as soon as you do. So go on, find something that puts a smile on your face.
Just slap those demons round their ugly little faces :eek: Keep with the deep breathing, talk to yourself, eat - just do whatever it takes to get through those craves. As Lozza said - find something to keep you amused. Mucking about on here helps me
Have you thought about how you'll cope tonight if your OH has got ciggies??
Had to laugh at the Hoover impersonation and I was imagining you going round the floor head down cleaning up the dog ends, and as for OH bringing temptation through the door, well you will have to Hoover her up as well and only let her out at bed time.
Ask her nicely not to smoke around you till you are in control, you could also ask her nicely not to smoke inside for a while as well.
I am sure you will get to grips with it eventually and when you do you want regret it, the benefits are 10 fold as you probably know.
Try also to get plenty of fluids as in fruit juice and water to help the detox and if you are able try some exercise to get the old heart pumping that will also help the detox process.
OH at home at the moment (her day off) but so far so good...I tried to blame her for last night but really, really it is up to me innit?
tonight i am going to my twice weekly Taekwondo training.. I have been studying TKD for 7 years now and i am so near the black belt (another year)... good for the nerves and will help with slapping those demons, ha ha ha...
gosh i am so wired....
