Needed a boost today.

[Friezfriend]

So I visited here and have printed out the breathing advice given here:

One in the kitchen, the other by my bed.

Working through feelings without cigarettes is a new art for me and one I'm going to have to work on. I've worked out that today, feeling as I do, I would probably have smoked about 10 cigarettes this afternoon, the upside is that I didn't and after revisiting loads on here today am feeling a little lighter. Thanks chaps/chapesses.

Well done Friezfriend

"yes" back in the early days / weeks of NOT smoking I was so out-of-it (high on oxygen among other things) and then the mood changed and I could become very angry indeed. Not great for the family having to live with someone like that !!

Anyway few months down the line and I still get the wrong thinking cap on and go off on one - so now I say SORRY as soon as I see my error in thinking or the error in my feelings, think a lot of us smokers / Ex smokers have one or two pieces missing from the jigsaw !!!! BUT the good news is things are getting better and I am so grateful NOT to be smoking and doing all that damage etc.

Best wishes

Jonathan

Yes I've definitely been swinging up and down, had a very low afternoon, it's dealing with those feelings in a different way that is a challenge now. You lot definitely helped thanks.

Hey stick with it Friezfriend your doing fine. These funny moods we all get are all positive signs that you deciding to quit is actually working.
