Day8

[elissa]

Hello everybody hope you are all well.Day 8 is nearly done have had a good but busy day and am hoping for a full nights sleep,I have had two rotten nights!! The wanting of smelly cigs seems to have reduced today but I'm not getting too hopeful because last time I quit I went seven weeks and got an almighty craving that I could not shift and I keep thinking what will I do when that massive wanting comes to get me,all suggestions would be gratefully received..xx

Hi Elissa, a big well done on your 8th day hopefully your body will be getting used to not having cigs by now, so you will have a nice sleep tonight

As for the big craving you had, I think we all get one of them just before we start smoking again when ever & where ever it took place, perhaps practice fighting it off so that you are ready for it next time

Have you tried Emjay's breathing exercises ??

I am off to bed shortly, and will have a think about that one nite nite Elissa, try to relax when you go to bed eh

Hi Elissa and well done yes we've all had those moments..I know I have !!

Breathing works well,i read one that said ..breathe deep hold it for as long as you can then breathe out repeat 3 times and the craving will have gone..for me it definitely works ..just wish id found it sooner,but heyo its now in my toolkit. I also believe in telling nic loud and clear to 'go away' or however one wishes to phrase it lol hopefully having been caught out before ,when or if it does pop up again you will be in a stronger place and know not to head its call xx jan
