[nsd_user663_14114]

Evening all,

right now i am DESPERATE for a ciggie!!

PLEASE someone tell me what to dooo!!!!!!

[nsd_user663_7469]

Hi Babe are you still on line and if so let me know and in the mean time fetch a glass of iced water and sip it.

[nsd_user663_14114]

thanks,

yep, still online and hanging on for dear life!

[nsd_user663_4026]

Don't cave. Try and relax and do as jam says and get some water. Work out in your head are you Hungry Tired angry or lonely and try and address that. These are good practical things. Remember a fag won't solve or make you feel any better, just put you back to the rubbish place where you've been trying to escape. Well done for posting on here first, hope you are ok xx

[nsd_user663_14114]

thanks,

i am SO annoyed with myself!

I dont actually want to the physical act of rolling that ciggie and putting it into my mouth..its just the nicotine i want!!

[nsd_user663_14114]

am drinking ice cold water...am deep breathing, oh god, oh god oh god..if this isnt addiction, i dont know what is!!

[nsd_user663_7469]

It is one of the hardest but most rewarding things to give up and once your body is free of the nicco you will start to see light at the end of the tunnel, have you been smoking Long.

[nsd_user663_4026]

Keep going! I remember just wishing I could go out and by pure nicotine tablets at one point, just to stem that wormy stomach feeling! I promise you, the longer you beat it, the better it gets x

[nsd_user663_14114]

Had my 1st ciggie at 9 yrs old, then not again until 13 yrs old. Then smoked from age 13 till 10 days ago( i am now 30). The only time i stopped was for 9 months during each pregnancy (2 kids).

I dont want to smoke any more, i dont want a fag....but i do want a fag...argh!!

[nsd_user663_14114]

thanks Fiiona, i KNOW i t will get better, i KNOW it will be easier the longer i go on with my quit...but good god i want Nicotine!!

Lol, you made me chuckle re nicotine pills, i have thought the same thing all day!

[nsd_user663_7469]

LMAO as that was exactly how I felt, I didnt want a cig cause I knew I wanted to quit but I so wanted the ritual of smoking, you wouldnt feel any better though even if you lit one now as it would then trigger the nicco demon and you would have to start all over again, how old are the bunnies, they cant be very old as you are still young and quitting in time to let your body heal and live to see granchildren x and are you sipping water

[nsd_user663_3838]

Hi Claire,

I feel exactly the same as you and have done both yesterday and today, I want to smoke! (but not really:mad:!!!) I have come so so close to going and buying some, instead I came on here and i'm now sat sipping iced water!Scary addiction isn't it??? Hang on in there, I'm trying to....let me know how you get on, I mean it can't get any worse so we'll definitely be feeling better in a bit!

[nsd_user663_14114]

Thanks you guys...yep, still drinking the ice water......AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nsd_user663_4026]

Remember you are choosing not to smoke. Each day, hour, min and second is your choice. The panic of not being allowed a fag can be horrible. Try take it 1 min at a time. Am totally with you in how it can feel but a few mins of knocking around on here can help! Post some of your favorite tunes on the sax thread, thats a great distraction for me! X

[nsd_user663_7469]

Hi givingupforgood as well now you are both on the same days so can be quit buddies as it really helps to have some one thats at the same stage as you are, sometimes we have to except that we feel sh1te and move past it, you are both strong otherwise you wouldnt have be able to have stopped any way and while you are typing your not smoking are you.

[nsd_user663_14114]

thanks for the help you guys.

trying to breathe, to drink ice water etc.

[nsd_user663_7469]

breathing is good lol as you need to do that, and sipping the water is a good way to stifle a crave.

Hot bath and bed when you can relax and tom will be a good day x

[nsd_user663_14114]

thanks everyone...i am off to bed now.

hoping that i will feel better in the morning.

[nsd_user663_4026]

Night. Well done for not caving xx

[nsd_user663_14114]

Hi,

i just wanted to say thanks for all your support last night.

I didnt cave in, i just went to bed instead and read a book for a bit.

Thanks again everyone!

[nsd_user663_7469]

Morning Claire I am so glad you managed to stay quit, I know its not easy but then again neither are the horrid diseases that smoking causes and with them you dont get a choice, sorry to be so hard but we all want you to join the 5% club and make the rest of your life healthier and happier, at the moment it seems an uphill struggle but a few more weeks and you will feel the real benefits.

Every time you are struggling do what you did yesterday, shout for help and there will always be some one to give you their hand and help you make another day as a non smoker xx

[nsd_user663_14114]
