Tougher day!

[Wifey9879]

Hey everyone, today is day 4 and been a lot tougher than what I was expecting, still have a serious lack of sleep, I wake up every hour maybe sooner, cravings seem to be a bit more intense today and I’m having to fight the urge to smoke. Have a nausea lingering feeling too 🤦🏻‍♀️😩

Keep fighting Wifey9879, each day you gain is another day you have on your quit. As the craving hits you try and focus on each part of your body and notice that in actual fact there is no pain or soreness. Our fight is all mind related. Just keep telling yourself that yes your brain is telling you to smoke but you don't actually need it to make things improve as all your parts are ok. I certainly found Quitting a really tough journey and even now after 18 months occasionally my mind still suggests to me that a smoke would be good. I suppose after 46 years of jamming the fags into me the habits developed will take a long while to suppress. Another suggestion is to embrace the craving and tell yourself yes you used to smoke but you don't now so stop wasting my time craving. Controlling our minds is a tough job. Stay strong and you will beat it.

Thank you for your reply,

Today was a tough day but I got through it, thank you for your tips they will really assist over the next few days, Wow 46 years and you managed to stop, well done you, that’s amazing, I did 18 years smoking, it seems like I have smoked most of my life and feels like something is missing at the minute, very strange feeling, plus with the sleep not all the way through, waking every hour is taking it’s toll on my sanity, but I’ll keep fighting and embracing, I’ve got this!

Hey you can do this, it’s just part of being hooked on them, you got to tell your self is this what I really want, when you really want you’ll be okay, just the cold facts, I’ve finally been sleeping good, when I realized this is what I want, I’ll admit it’s difficult cause I sell them all day
