6 month anniversary of stopping. For some crazy reason the craving in the last hour has been like it was 5 months ago!

I can't believe how much I want to smoke right now. I haven't felt like this for months. Help!

[droopyJ]

Hey Rozi.... sometimes those awful cravings just creep up on you.....

Any particular reason why your feeling like this?? Just take some deep breaths until the craving goes but whatever you do DONT SMOKE... You have done A MAZEINGLY and you do not want to go back to the beginning...

Maybe its just because you have reached a massive milestone and that brain of yours is trying to trick you

Normally Monky would tell you to go kick a cushion or something or do as you have done and come on here.

Stay on the site and others will come and give you some support as well

[Hidden in reply to droopyJ]

Thanks Droopyj

I think I might go overload on caffiene

[droopyJ]

Need any ironing doing? I'm not volunteering (I really hate ironing) but if you can keep busy...... how about treating yourself to something nice tomorrow

OOOOH just think of something nice then plan your day around doing it.............. or take yourself off for a walk, bit of fresh air might do you good... or take a long soak in the bath with a good book and a glass of something cold and fruity or a cup of coffee..........or you could come and do my ironing????

[Hidden]

Your out of luck there......barely stand to do my own ironing let alone anyone else's

I just need to be strong! I can't smoke ever again so I need to get over myself!, thanks, I do appreciate the support right now. Everyone on here is brilliant.......

[EmJay Partner]

Hey Rozi.... First off congratulations on reaching a fantastic milestone in your stopping smoking carreer You have done amazingly well

I have to say though ( I may be wrong!) but I reckon their may be a little tiny few of those gremlins left hanging around who thought that this might be a good chance to throw up the last attempt to keep you occupied and at bay... These feelings may be a far distant memory, brought to mind to try and test you and get you back in their side....

Please see that you stand up to them and send them packing, if not... Let us all here have them... We'll show 'em the way back out through the back door!!!

There's a new shiny badge wingng it's way to you now

Xoxox

[katelisci 1 Month Winner]

Hey Rozi! First I wanted to send out a HUGE hug and congratulations on being 6 months free from Mr. Nic! And Secondly thank you for being an inspiration!!! WOW!!! 6 months is amazing!!! 6 months staying strong and positive... this little urge today doesn't have a chance You got this beat!

[Briarwood Administrator Ducky]

Hi Rozi, you have got to 6 months so that's totally fantastic and you definitely do not really want to start all over again, I know you don't do whatever it takes to get rid of the urges coz that's all it is urges, it will pass, breath deep and focus on how far you have come don't give in to them, you can do this, I know you can x

[Mindermummy]

Hey......SO wierd...cos yesterday was my worse day in ages....really wanted a fag!! And hadn't felt like that since the first few weeks of stopping!!!!! It shocked me...came from no where...I think it was cos it's such a lovey sunny day...had a glass of wine and that was it ....managed to get over it with a gum and e cig . Well done getting to 6 months and no way is it worth going backwards Good luck everyone...I def think the hot sunny days make it harder

[monky Administrator Cake sniffer outer]

Aup Mummykins its great to see you gal

Yes, I'm ok when am pottering about keeping busy, but when I have a sit down, I need to reach for my new friend and give it some vape eh

Mr nic can strike at any time, soo try to stay focused on your quit, its not long now and you will need a new winners badge, 4 Months then gal Stay strong Mummykins

Pete x

[Mindermummy in reply to monky]

Thank you...and you too...stay strong. Had some friends over last night and one was a smoker....I could so easily of had one...but no stayed strong...the feelings were slightly there again. Thought I had got through those feelings....but hey I guess it's true they do come at any time!!! Vaped away and was fine.x

[monky Administrator Cake sniffer outer in reply to Mindermummy]

Awww Mummykins am soooo glad that you vaped away that evil Mr nic

If ever you need any help or backup, you just come a shouting on here gal, there is always somebody about to help

keep strong and just have a little think on how quitting smoking has helped you x

[yellowsnowdrop]

It hits you when you least expect it.Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks back so I know how bloomin awful it is.Not a lot you can do except TRY to stay strong,maybe some breathing exercises and a walk.I walk it off my sympathies are with you,you'd kinda think that after all this time the nicodemon would be giving up.Hugs my friend,stay strong.H

[Hidden]

Hi YSD, Pete, Katelisci, briarwood, Mindermummy and Emjay

Crafty ol thing nicotine! I didn't succumb to it but I was a bit disheartened that it could come on so strong after all this time. That' s what is so good about this site isn't it? If we didn't know others had the same hiccups we might just give in to the dirty ol devil. At least we know we can get through this with a little help!

For me, reading the posts and posting myself has been invaluable all along - from day 1...from getting a bit of sympathy to being reassured all the symptoms and cravings were normal and would eventually pass. Just want to say thanks

[droopyJ in reply to Hidden]

you are sooooo right Rozi, this site has saved me numerous times..... stay strong

[Mindermummy in reply to Hidden]

Same here....my god the cravings been the worse this weekend...no reason...just hit me....but got though it coming on here def helps loads good luck xxx

[droopyJ in reply to Mindermummy]

Bizarre but that's how it seems to go sometimes ...... I do wonder if we are all in sync with each other as quite a few people seem to get a hit at the same time....!!

[Hidden]

Absolutely Droopyj!! You too
