Confused

Ok, I know I'm on day 9, but it feels like day 1 or 2 :confused:

Woke up and the first thought was I need a ciggy :eek:

What is going on !!? Thought my quit was going to smoothly, but why is everything hitting me at once now???

Don't stress it

You have smoked for years and years, you have not smoked for 9 days - you have to get used to life without a fag 'cos you spent years training yourself that a fag was the answer to everything.

it'll come xx

Thanks just needed to know that does work this way,

Deb, day 9 is early days, great though it is. As Gem & Debbie said, it'll come and go for a little while, you're doing great!

It is normal, it happened the same to me, it still happening and I suspect that it will do for a while, but now you have 9 days of experience to know how to say no!

You'll have many of those days, it's just your brain reprogramming itself. Every time you don't smoke the trigger should get weaker and weaker and weaker until its hardly even there at all.

I actually had a dream the other day, the second one I've had so far, that I was smoking and I felt guilty the next day because it really felt like I did. Of course it was all in my head but the nic is a trickster!

Debby....it's a bumpy ride, quitting. There will be times when you really want a fag, but you have to find a way to ride it out. The craves don't last long, only a few minutes, but if you don't nip them in the bud they can assume huge proportions. Always keep your guard up and develop an array of weaponry to distract yourself when they come, be it eating or drinking something or doing something that distracts your mind and/or keeps your hands busy. If you can, go into another room or go outside for a walk.

Day 9.......how good is that, eh! If someone had told you, 10 days ago, that you would be where you are now, you'd have been thrilled to bits; and that is exactly how you should be feeling now, thrilled to bits and very proud of your achievement.

If Nic raises his ugly head again, gather up your well-earned pride and give him a hefty kick up the backside.....he'll get the message eventually!
