miserable

[nsd_user663_23651]

Hello all just having a really down day on day 33 and been thinking about smoking all day which I haven't done for ages. Why am I feeling like this I'm normally a happy person and no smoking me is not happy. Don't get me wrong I'm elated not smoking and I won't smoke now come to far for that. Just want to find happy me again.

Hi Betty

So sorry you're feeling low. I'm sure Karri's right and I'm sure you're wrong. Stopping smoking isn't going to change your personality, it's just the effort of fighting those demons that are bringing you down a bit right now.

Have that bath. Have a massive bar of chocolate or bottle of wine as a 'well done Betty for doing 33 days' reward.

33 days is awesome and I bet you a large doughnut that you haven't been miseable for all that time. It's Sunday, are you back at work tomorrow - could it be Sunday blues?

Hope you perk up a bit soon smiles just for you!

Hope tomorrow is a better day

Thanks DD and Karri I am in work tomorrow but don't think it's that just a bad day I suppose. The thing is I want to do this for so many reasons My brother died last year of a massive heart attack suddenly aged 45 it broke my heart, and of course my mums. My mum had a heart bypass when she was 62 so it kind of runs in the family and they both smoked. My mum quit before her op and have never smoked since and has no desire to ever. She has asked me for years to quit but I had to do it for me and the wake up call is when my brother died. So onwards and upwards I've got to get through this. Once again thanks for listening. xxx

Evening Betty Boop

Remember feeling much the same way around this stage of quitting and someone asked me if it was me getting confused with the sunday night thing.

Have a read of this and then read some woofmang, link in my signature, he's always inspirational.

Good luck and it is worth it and these feelings do pass.

Those days suck betty boop but the good thing is that most likely you will wake being so glad you didn't smoke. And most likely it will be a better day for you. I think those ups and downs are normal, especially when one's body goes through such a change..... of course in response we immediately think of smoking as the answer.... smoking was the answer for everything after all before! I'm sorry you're not quite yet feeling your happy old self but trust me that will all return plus the special bonus of not being a slave to nicotine! You've done a great thing for your health, your body is just now in healing mode and catching up! You'll feel better soon! bella x

Thank you Bella and Karri for your support and everybody. I have had a much better day today been to work and that helps, I think we all get down days when smoking or not, just learning how to cope without cigs!!!!! I refuse to smoke!!!!! I am a non smoker. love Bet. x:confused:

[nsd_user663_20558]

Only saw this when you were out of the dumps betty, but I wanted to say well done for hanging tough - as you say, we all have crappy days. It's just that until you're used to being a non smoker, crappy days tend to bring on the craves which makes it doubly hard. You did well to get through it. BIG UP TO YOU.

And... I lost my big brother in exactly the same way, suddenly, same age, same cause. So I know where you're coming from. Lots of love xxx

Hi All

New to this forum, stopped smoking 5 weeks ago and can honestly say I have been miserable ever since!!!! I completely understand how your feeling it just isnt fair is it? To top things off Im putting on pounds by the minute which nobody sees as a problem but me!!!!!

Really wish I hadnt quit now,

[nsd_user663_23651]

Hi Miles I am not sorry at all that i quit you shouldn't either. I was having a down day, most days I'm elated at having got this far never thought I could. Today in work served some really stinky smelly smoky people:mad: and it was awful to think I USED TO SMELL LIKE THAT!!!!! I said to myself I'm not going back to that. It is getting better every day just hang in there and listen to the ones past 6 months they say it's great. Hope you feel better soon. Bet
