Having a bit of a hard time

[nsd_user663_2484]

I'm having a hard time at the moment, physically and lots of stress to boot.

Many times I have thought about having "just one" but have managed to resist. I'm too scared to.

Haven't been around much but hope everyone else is doing ok.

If I can get through the next few weeks then I will know for certain I have cracked it.

Hi Babe I can see you are struggling and I just wonder without going to your home page how far along you are?? it does get easier I promise, I hit 6 months yesterday and I will be honest there were time at the start of my quit and also a few months in where I thought I would cave but I didnt and here I am still smoke free and so glad I followed through and didnt let one of lifes little niggles make me smoke, if you can think of all the reason you had the day you put your last cig out then that might help to reafirm your quit, if that doesnt help then go for a walk or watch a film or find something that you like to do and do it mmmm trying to think of something also read the link in my sig about water helped me and a few others I know, take care and keep talking xx

Sorry Wendy have just seen Feb, you are as I said about the time I struggled it does go honest.

Don't know if this will help, but I've found it's gotten easier these past two weeks; you're 2 weeks behind me in date of quit, so, hopefully, it'll get a little easier for you very soon.

Hang on in there.....

And, yes, lots of water does help.

Thanks Jamangie and Nana.

I think its because I am under such a lot of stress at the moment.

I'm digging deep though.

Hi again, stress isnt cured by smoking in fact smoking creates stress so it will not as you know rid you of any of the rubbish you are going through, first look at what the stress is caused by and say can I get rid of it or if not then find a solution to work through it, if you want to PM at any time feel free, I am about most days in fact sad as it may seem on here too much probably you take very good care of yourself, you are number one xx

Hi you, sorry you're having a bit of a hard time at the mo..unfortunately these days come and go. I'm just into month 4 and today I could have easily gone and bought a packet of fags, had really bad cravings today (well not actual cravings - just wanted a fag!!) ...so I have to say...even further down the track you get good and bad days.

I'm pleased to say I haven't given in...but this has got to be one of my worst days yet

hi wendy

wot a flipping pain this quit is hey at times...i feel for you coz i too have them days & they are nasty ..Its like a feeling of just one fag is all i need....Well we both know were that one fag will lead ..into a big sadness

You are doing just great...just keep reminding yourself why you are here ...& why your choosing not to smoke ..coz you are doing it all by yourself making the perfect choice........be proud of that..

Thanks so much everyone, it really helps to know that people understand and care.

I am under extreme stress at the moment, likely to last a few weeks at least. I think if it wasn't for this I would be ok.

I managed to dig out a few old pieces of the gum, have used a few half pieces of them. My way of thinking it is better to do this than have a cigarette.

I'm off out to a bbq and to watch England. I know there are a couple of smokers going to be there, I just might sit near them. Don't worry I'm not going to have one.

On a lighter note I reckoned I have saved around £520 by not smoking, that is a lot of money.

Hi Wendy you want get this till you get back so Hope you enjoy the match and that they win, I also hope you are not tempted to smoke at all as some times being in the moment can get you, Im sure you want so speak later x

Terrible game, utter rubbish, walked off into the garden in disgust in the end. On a more positive note I never even sat next to the smokers. Smelt the occasional whaft but that was it.
