Hi Cimmy, I cannot believe it's been 17 weeks already, that's amazing!! It's certainly not strange to still be mourning the loss of smoking, I felt like something was missing for ages! It was so odd, I found myself thinking 'what's the point in going camping when I can't smoke'. That empty feeling soon passes too so hang in there as it won't be long x
Keep up the good work!
Hi cimmy,
Missing the ritual of smoking is totally normal and expected.... I'm missing it less and less
You're doing awesomeπππππ

I totally understand what you mean by "you don't crave them, you mourn them". When I quit I allowed myself several weeks before I shared my quit. Just to make sure that I didn't fall off the wagon. Fortunately, almost 5 months now, I am STILL smoke free and always will be. Yeah, me. BUT, every now and then in a moment of quietness by myself I literally can cry a tear and I chalk that up to mourning that nasty habit. Actually, when I did announce to my family and friends I actually told them that I lost my best friend. A friend who went everywhere, did everything with me, that I never left the house without, one that I held dear to me. One that I gave up a lot for and Had I not of lost this friend it would have eventually taken me from them. I lost my best friend but it was the best thing that ever happened to me. That friend made me selfish for a lot of reasons. WELL, you can imagine that after 36 years my family and friends had to give it time to really see that I really threw my best friend away. And my best friend was that cigarette hanging from my mouth and to this day I am still trying to figure out why I ever started and continued this nasty addiction for soooo long. Yes, not habit, addiction. So, I know what you mean about feeling a sense of mourning. Congrats on your quit. keep up the good work. 5 months for me on the 16th of March. I just hope everything the Doctors found, which is nothing, stays the same. And that I didn't do anything harmful. Because I finally realized I want to LIVE.
wonderful post Nana--I know what you mean--I struggle worse on weeknds--but yet can hardly imagine what it would be like now--My lungs feel empty and along with that sometimes my heart--I miss my best friend too--The only thing I can say is any drug that can still bring a sad heart and even a tear after this long in us is one helluva strong one and highly addictive,Not only that but highly seductive--It would love to suck us back in--Kinda scarey huh?? Im teary writing this--Its Saturday morning--kinda lonely here--Im vunerable--but I would suffer so much if I did it now--just cant--because one puff isn't just a set back-=it is getting dirty what has been clean 4 months now--So on we go--I hope in time this void isn't so huge--My lungs are sad--they were addicted to poison--Doesn't that suck big time?? Its the truth xxx MmeT
Yes I agree, you do mourn them and miss them and if they were free and harm free I would have them back right now. It is a terrible and powerful addiction that makes absolutely no sense at all yet it is so hard to give it up. They are like your companion in good times and bad they help you through stress and worry and good times and it's so crazy how can the same one thing help in so many different situations. Crazy. I was kind of vulnerable today to smoking and thought oh here we go it's going to be another one of those days where it just won't quite let up all day long. These days are really getting on my nerves now. So I put a patch on and that shuts it up. Dare not look how many patches Iv got left now a few but they running down. No way I will buy any and worry what I will do when there's no back up plan left.
Yes I do miss them and mourn them and they call me back all the time. Can't have such a set back tho. No good will come of having a cigarette just putting off the inevitable quit once again. I miss them and love them and hate them and am scared of them. ππ
