Hi all,
as you can probably tell by my nickm I seem to have identity problems associated with the quit
Who am I really without the cigarettes? All of my adult life they have been with me, a constant companion, they ARE me. It is so weird to be without them.
It is like, even if not public anymore, the smokes were totally part of me, what is going to fill that void?
Curious situation yesterday online. Chatting with an old friend. I so proudly tell her that I'm on day 11 of quit and all she says, "good for you". That's it. No oh wow how cool congrats whatever excitement. Just a flat, gfy and nothing else. I know she smokes as well and has been forever. So I thought a little sympathy from ONE of the people I know would be good. Hmmmmmmm, weird no?
It almost felt like her saying: oh ok, now you TOO are going to the other side and will be against me....
Anybody make such experiences with friends?
Hello
Firstly well done on day 11!!! brilliant!!
And yes i have had that experience too with people, the biggest one that i remember was when i posted on facebook that i had reached a week ( back in march not this time) and my friends were telling me well done.... then one friend put.................
" Im sitting here now with my coffee and having a cigarette and enjoying it so much, you dont know what you are missing"
Maybe it was a bit of jealously because i was doing well? or maybe was just being damn right hurtful!!!
This time around, i have not really posted about it on facebook!
Yes we maybe going to the other side, but what a better side it is!!!
Stay strong and post your achievements on here instead!! You know you will get a round of applause on here and that much needed "big it up" its what makes us stronger.
