Feeling down

Just dont feel myself right now. This is when not smoking hits me the most finding it really hard right now x

Aw smokefree, hang on in there hun, you must be nearly two weeks now? You've done really well so far We all have our bad days and I know it feels like it must be easier to give in, but it's not worth it. Your body is just trying to trick you.... don't be taken in by it.

Maybe you should plan something nice as a treat for when you reach two weeks... maybe your fave restaurant with friends or book in and get yourself a nice body wrap or massage....ooh I might go and book myself in

Please don't give in, we are here to support you -x-

Hi smokefreeandme,

Don't feel down, you are doing great! I am 8 days no real cigs, but I'm using my ecig..

It does get some getting used to....believe me it is not easy,

But I know I can't do it without my ecig ( I'm too nervous a person ) I tried often....so I am proud of my 8 days........but you do get some weird reactions, like today, all day, I could hardly function, dead tired....slept on the couch this afternoon...

My dad and sister couldn't stop smoking, and they both passed away.....so I'm trying with the ecigs.....otherwise I'll just light up....have an emergency pack in my freezer...

A REAL ADDICT !! Don't feel down, you can pretend your sitting here having a coffee with me, and we are congratulating ourselves.....

Aup Smokefreeandme, its lovely to see you again gal

Yes am afraid we all go through this at some stage in our quit, but it will pass gal Please fight it, your a very young Lady, so you have to do this cos otherwise you will end up like me see, well, ermmm, not as an old boy like what I am but you will get wrinkles and only have 1 brain cell see

Try Emjay's No 1 breathing exercise, or do some exercises, cos that always makes me feel much better, after I have been on my rower, I feel just fantastic gal, I really do

Drink plenty of fluids tooo, especially water, cos it does help a lot

Stay strong now gal, you KNOW you CAN do this Pete

[monky Administrator 35 Months Winner in reply to Hidden]

Well, you sound a very determined young Lady and know exactly what you want and very nearly quitting cold turkey as they say I bow down to you gal

Hey smokefreeandme, hope you are feeling much better today

You've been offered some great advice and support in all of the above, I love our member

I know many people hear me say the same thing over and over again but this is just something that you have to get through to be able to come out the other side, safely

You really can do this and the more times you get over the 'down' parts and let a pesky craving pass, the more stronger you will become - Although there will be times when it doesn't feel this way.

You are doing ever so well

It was at about 2 or 3 weeks non smoking that l suddenly felt a kind of 'freedom' my body was no longer being held hostage to a small stick of plant material!!! don't have a big budget but now l can afford to buy myself something nice,usually an item of clothing,every now and again, it feels good.
