It sucks to feel this way--I cannot get out due to weather even if I wanted to. I feel this "hunger"deep and gnawing... I will try to satisfy it with food but It is bad today-- it speaks to me and whispers"Just one would be so nice-c,mon"-but as AA says" One is to many and 100 is not enuff" This is not fun--this is the tough part- this is the sick to your guts part-this is what we don't want to face part--THIS is addiction-and it hurts............I am on the NOPE raft adrift on a sea of nicotine and wanting.....

Hi madam, sounds like you are having a bad day. Can you use you e-cig to help you through it?

I'm using my NRT and it is helping loads. Do what you need to to get through. You can do it. Like you say one would be nice but it won't be enough and it won't help. You will feel worse.

Stay strong 👀

I know exactly what you mean I missed the feeling as it hit your lungs. I haven't felt like that for a while thank god because it is pretty disgusting but I loved it.

Hope the e-cig helps get you through. Sometimes it's just a shit day. Probably made worse because you can't go out even tho u probably don't want to.

Stick close to the forum and take care. ©

thank you Andrew--I know you know--It is tough and Im anxious and want to cry and Im to pissed off to do that--and I want to sleep and escape--and im twitchy and just plain uncomfortable--and my mind keeps asking--How long before this craving leaves or I have a smoke--No answer to 1st question and no to second and then the weepy,anger cycle starts again

Hi Mme, I found one thing helps - treat your inner voice (addiction) just like you do a toddler tantrum. Distract yourself, try to ignore it, mimic it by throwing yourself on the floor and screaming, feel foolish, get up and have a glass of water, wash your face and gird your loins to do it all over again!

BUT it WILL get better

Cheers Ngaire xx
