Day 5

24 Replies

A new day, a new start. Woke up feeling irritable. Had a cup of tea and some mouth spray and felt a bit better. It would help if I didn't go to bed at stupid oclock. Going to visit a sick friend. I don't want to smoke today...Just for today.

Deep breaths poland.

Go and do something to keepyour mind off it

I told the lady in the shop to shut her mouth about me not smoking because I really dont want to be reminded about not smoking, dont think she will be being friendly to me again lol

What time are you going to bed?

Last night I was sleeping before the kids, was just exhausted, think with all the noise of the wind the night before and not sleeping right because of the champix was not a good combination so was a tad grumpy last night.

Good luck for today and have a nice day visiting your friend

Hi Sarah, going to bed very shortly. I feel so tired, and tired and grumpy equals strong cravings. I have struggled a bit this afternoon. Had an upset with my 18 year old daughter. Her boyfriend has just finished with her and she is devastated. I feel so helpless and really wanted to smoke. The good thing is- so far I haven't. :(

Hi Andrea, you can do this, your going the right way i think, taking it one day at a time, that's what helped me :) do the breathing exercise if you need to as well, also i found redirecting my thoughts helped as well, that's where my crossword came in.

I hope your friend isn't to ill and recovers soon

stay strong Andrea, i hope the cravings don't bite to hard today :)

Hi Sue, I have done the breathing exercise many times today. It has been tough but another day is nearly over. Thanks for the support. :)

Hi all must have been a night for it last night. I didnt sleep too well either. Day 6 for me and had a couple of strong cravings today so probs a tad grumpy too. was rummaging in my handbag looking for something till I realised I was looking for cigs aaaahhhhhhh thankfully realised what I was doing and went and polished my nails instead. Well done everyone for getting this far lets be strong for each other.

Linda

Hi Linda, well done on not giving in to the cravings :) just shows how strong you are, keep going you can do this :) you can always come on here and moan if your having a bad time, you'll get loads of help and a laugh along the way on the daily chat, although it's a tad quiet today, think everybody must be hibernating :D :D

to do a smiley face, if you put your cursor over one it shows you how to do it :)

Stay strong

Susan :)
