Hi all....

As you may have guessed I've just joined up to this site and finding my way. Love reading all your posts. Some very helpful, witty and encouraging posts. I asked already in a post about breathing techniques for cravings and was told it was in pinned posts but I can't find them would someone mind walking me through it....a bit of a ditz πŸ˜ƒ

Hiya Rosie, if you look on the right of this post you'll see related posts and a little bit further down it says pinned posts. At the bottom of pinned posts it says view 13 more, so press that and near the bottom of the list you'll find 3 separate breathing excercises. hope this helps ya find them. I'm on an iPad so it may be different on your device. Good luck, you're doing greatπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ˜Š

Hi Rosie--welcome to Quit Support--we are all here to help and understand eachother on this journey --Hang in there--you can do this--I get the breathing thing--Four months clean and though I can breathe deep,I breathe the way cigarettes dictated-so kind of relearning a nice,slow,rhythmic breathing- instead of fast and shallow-It just screws you up in so many ways--but I am so glad I have new found freedom from slavery of cigarettes!! Blessings --MmeT

I'm finding that I can breath through the craving like the way you'd smoke....not a good look out in public πŸ˜ƒ

Hi Rosie🌷

I'm a really shallow breather..... When I'm at work, I have to remind myself to slow down my breathing and practice abit of mindfulness.... Deeper breaths ... It's hard

Almost 1 weekπŸ‘πŸŽˆπŸŽˆπŸŽˆ

you kno Az--I so get that--Id like to write a book on what this journey is like--Is the truth out there anywhere?? That it is a loooong journey and all the intricacies and fears you must overcome? I hate to give poison ANY kind of credit--but it truly is an unbelievably powerful and addictive substance--I have a healthy fear(bordering on sheer terror) of it now--This love affair is OVER--Hate it ,hate it and it hates me--or it wouldn't have tried to kill me--Im so done!!!!!!! xxx MmeT

So true Madame ... I'm terrified of what cigarettes can do as well

That's also on my mind. I read through some posts and they say identify it as a thing that's not you. I find myself getting angry with "it" and treating it like a person.....no-one is going to control me.....it's working its giving me so much will power.

No COPD here as far as I know--I did pass breathing tests--right before I quit and they were fine--At first I thought Heh heh now I can keep smoking Im fine -they are full of s----t then I thought Hey Foo--get out now while the getting is good--I do have some breathing problems but think Im still getting used to being a normal breather--I don't know if you can have COPD and still breathe deep like you have to on tests--Im going to check that out--I do wheeze sometimes--Hope you are fine.. Continue fighting the good fight--Im with ya xxx MmeT
