Think i have had enough

[nsd_user663_41769]

Been of the fags all this time, and for the past couple of days the cravings have been really bad like right now , and a know my son has hid cigs in his room didnt think you could crave like this thought it would go away but it isnt trying to think positive.

Don't give in, you will regret it sooooo much I know I did and it has taken me 18 months to eat some humble pie and come back on here. Because you know there are ciggies within reach is probably making you worse. Can you not go for a little walk or something to take your mind off it. Maybe a nice bath and then go to bed. Stay with us Vixen, you can do it

Try distracting your mind for a few minutes, I'm on day 9 of my quit and there have been several times where I've craved a cigarette, but I got up, walked around the house, done a couple of small chores and then hey presto the craving had gone.

Don't give in

Thanks guys i went looking in my cupboard and found 2 pieces of 2mg gum so am chewing on a piece of that just now feeling a lot better, i just dont understand how you can crave like that when i have not had a cig from the 23rd January thought it would get easier, think i will go to bed that way i wont think of them, and thankyou for listening to me and hope your quits go really well for both of you to. thanks.

Vixen111, Don't give up, keep trying.

I'm on my 36th day and the cravings are almost gone, think of something else, distract your self by walking or running or swimming, just do anything to take your mind of it. It is going to be hard for the first month but then after that one month your body will get used to not having a cigarette. Tell yourself to hold it till tomorrow and keep saying that everyday.

Good luck, stay strong

Hi Vixen - hope that today is feeling a bit easier. It is inevitable that all of this doesn't go away without a fight - but you are doing so well, and one day, you will realise that you have won the war. Just stay with us.

I beleive there's a saying in Alcoholics Annonymous . . "While I'm not working my programme my addiction is out there doing press ups!" . . . I think that at times I've forgotten to remember why I'm quitting and my addiction can be getting it's boots on ready to give me a right good kick! It does sneak up when we're not ready to face it . . especially a few weeks in.
