Day 16

[nsd_user663_64328]

Was craving a lot last night.

Really had to try hard not to want to smoke.

Got an early night.

Think I was just depressed a bit. (From lots of little things)

New day. Another smoke free day.

K....Well done..the sadness (slight depression) is normal and will also go away.

Stay strong !!

I'm very agitated today, the advantages of being a serial quitter is that I'm always one step ahead.last night went to bed very early to have some "me" time and stay calm. This morning I'm a wreck, I have consultants appointment in 1 hour and I cannot stop thinking I could have just one cigarette to get through this morning! I put some incense burning downstairs and came up for a big bath, hopefully will be better after this. Like I said before, between 10 and 20 days is a constant test, because it is easier and we tend to be more relaxed, the cravings don't come on a physical way but psychological way, each is rotten. Stay firm, it takes 21 days to break a habit.

K, must be something in the water today, I had very bad cravings earlier today as under pressure here at work and the usual coping with pressure is to have a smoke, I went to the toilet to do my breathing and got some lemon and water and went back to my desk. As I sat down, my smoker colleagues headed out and I wished I was going with them, so I decided to email my husband about how I was feeling and it passed by the time I finished emailing him. I am now on my lunch and craving again to have one just to get me over the pressure of the work I have to do so typing on here until it passes and I will start back to work. Its so hard to get your head to think its not going help having a smoke only make it worse. I also think I need to start thinking of myself for now and that I can only do what I can do at work and feel pressurised, but it is a bad time at work at the moment as we are undergoing a large redundancy process at the end of next month and time is limited to get jobs passed over to the remaining staff and trained up and continue with your own work....
