Feel awful today. Not physically, but mentally (maybe that is physical?)

I keep thinking. F**k it, have s fag

Followed by ...oh god, if I smoke I won't feel any better.

Feel absolutely stuck between those two polar positions.

Want to cry

We've all been there, the good news is that it doesn't last.

Keep on keeping on and looking towards the good days.

Another thing to remind yourself is that, because you know that you do want to quit and will keep trying until you manage it, if you did smoke you'd have to repeat week one again :eek:

Thank you Nic for your wise words.

At this point I question whether I do want to quit. Of course, that's my addicted brain talking.

I just wish it would shut-up!!!

Don't cry!

Or, cry if you need to, then dry your tears on your sleeve and relish the fresh UNsmoky smell of the fabric :)

And really try to do something to take your mind off it - are you working? I found if I wasn't at work in those first few weeks, I needed to do escape-y things like reading, preferably under the duvet, just to get away from the world...

We're right behind you Elizabeth, you're doing SO well, and it really does get easier! xxx

Not what you're looking for?
