[nsd_user663_33545]

Day 23 and I am struggling so bad :confused:

I knew it would hit me sooner or later

[nsd_user663_20978]

hey dorset we all have bad days i still do now sometimes

you are in early days and u will get through this and u will be so pleased that you pulled though

just take it a minuite at a time dont look too far ahead or it gets to hard

try to distract yourself read through some old posts go for a walk do some cooking wat ever it takes

u can do this and it gets easier u just have to get through hard bits to get to the easy bits

Hi dorset,

I got to about day 21 and then started feeling is this really worth it and doubting that I had wanted to quit:confused:

Keep on going it will lift and then you will think to yourself 'why was I so silly to doubt myself'

You can do it

Hey Dorset,

Sorry to hear you're struggling today *hugs*

Just try and stay strong, and remember all the reasons why you quit in the first place.

Maybe get yourself a favourite foodie treat to cheer yourself up, and reward yourself for how far you've come.

Thinking of you Dorset. You're one of the members who Zi love to read and inspires me, I know you'll get through it.

A big fat virtual hug to you.

This too will pass, Dorset. Take a deep breath and weather the storm. You can do it - you have been through worse than this.

you poor lamb ..

it is iron hard sometimes

i used to think and have smoking in all aspects of my life

i'll relax and have a cig

i'll go there and sit n have a fag

i'll do this then have a fag

its suprising how it drifts off ...

i KNOW .. that i dont want to smoke anymore

buy my body still does ...

and it cry's out for smoking

but as each day becomes each day .. it gets weaker

my body is starting to recognise and enjoy the

health benefits of not smoking

and is coming round to the idea of not smoking

i am more comfortable in my self phyiscally as a non smoker

all the pain and distress is your body healing

and learning something new

it can do it ...

and when it does .. it will thankyou

Hi Dorset,

Perhaps you kept a list or diary about why you wanted to quit? If so, go back and read it carefully, and even try to add to it, thinking about the consequences of changing your mind now... I doubt you will be able to bring yourself to believing that your reasons at the time were a load of rubbish and that you would would be better off smoking.

If you didn't start a list/diary, then start one now, listing all the reasons you want to quit, and all the reasons you want to smoke. I'm pretty sure you will find the bad outweighs the good.

Alex.

I made it through , I had a pretty rough day. I' ve been remembering the H.A.L.T "thing"...hungry angry lonley tired. I don't know what is was,but I pulled through . I feel like coming out of a 20 hr battle, but I am feeling better today and I hope it stays a little.

Thanks for all the posts and support.

[nsd_user663_32978]

Well done dorset,

I knew you could do it

It sucks when times are tough, I still get those feelings but they are going quickly now. I am sure it will be a constant battle for a while yet but we are stronger than we think.

I am really proud of you

Its not that I want to smoke, you know what I mean. Of course I don't want to ! It's as somebody is kidnapping your brain and your body and tries to make you do things you don't want to.

I am now on day 24 and feeling a lot better.

Just remember that you should never pay the ransom - it will only encourage more kidnapping! Well done on another victory.

Mrs T , that is very clever said. I will keep saying that next time , when I feel like that again. :cool:
