Good going Mmaya...Two weeks seems to pass in a jiff....Yes I know it is easy for me standing on the side line to say it passed in a Jiff....

I remember that first two weeks...felt like ages !!

Stay strong !!!

By the way....missed you here the last few days ;)

It actually passed very quickly, but I after today, I'm not so optimist anymore. I'm still the same, any bit of stress and I cannot control myself! I'm fine otherwise. I'm not looking for them and even if I have them in front of me, I wouldn't touch them.....but when the stress comes, I would literally kill anyone to grab a cigarette. I'm very scared to see this happening, I didn't know this "me" - the junkie!

Thanks Karri, I'm fine, really, it's actually going very easy, I'm here for the long run.

No confusion karri, it's being very easy except for when I get stressed, thankfully I've been able to avoid stress but I know I still can't handle any stress, therefore I'm not one bit confident on my quit. Im very vulnerable at the moment, too much going on. I'm not confident but I am committed, make sense now?

....I just want to get out of this room (week 2) I'm sick of it, is it midnight already? Lol

2 weeks is great. The stress thing will be hard as always but you can do it. In the end you'll have new ways to get through stress. It's still my biggest challenge at 6 months but I'm getting there!!! I used to actually look like I was going to trample people to buy cigs in stress time and I usually did, tears , drama the lot for me. Then I got to where i feel the rage but I sit and say it will pass, it will pass 😜 And now I still feel under confident that it will get me one day but I'm still here and I hope after too much longer I will trust myself. I think stress is hard enough without nicotine addiction complicating stuff. X

Annemarie, thank you for your post. That's exactly what I've been doing, and that's why I said I'm not confident because with my continental temper one of those days I won't be able to hold it in anymore!
