Read the posts on here Stormy. You will find very few people freaking out past day 14 here on a regular basis. What is 14 days out of your life? Think rationally now. 14 days is not a lot. Do not give in to that Nicotine Drug Addict way of thinking. Make yourself do something different. Fake it till you make it if you have to ... you'll be so glad you did. I promise you that. For every problem in life, nicotine seemed like the answer. That stupid drug seemed like the solution. That is a big lie and you must unbrainwash yourself to see the big nicotine lies told to us by society and tobacco companies. When we felt stressed we'd reach for our cigarettes. We thought that they would calm us. When we were tired we'd reach for our cigarettes. We thought they would give us that extra umph to stay away and alert longer. When we were upset we'd reach of our cigarettes. We thought they would cheer us up and put a smile back on our faces. These are all lies. The truth is that cigarettes and nicotine don�t solve any of these problems. YOU are the only one capable of doing that, and you don�t need nicotine to help you do that. If you�re stressed, find healthy alternatives to ease your mind and relax your body. Our bodies and brains are equipped to handle stress; we don�t need any drugs to come in and handle it for us. If you used nicotine to try and defuse feelings of anxiety, you�re were only making your body�s natural stress defenders weaker and more drug dependent. Don't do that to yourself. If you�re tired, go to sleep. The body needs sleep. The brain needs sleep. Smoking when you�re tired doesn�t really perk up the brain, even though it may feel that way. And if you�re upset, reaching for cigarettes isn�t the answer. The nicotine may give you a quick rush, boosting your spirits for a little while. But the human body does not need any external drugs in order to feel great. Think about the way you feel after a good, long laugh with a friend, or after a workout session! Those natural endorphins are a stronger, healthier and purer source of happiness than any artificial drug. The bottom line: your body comes naturally equipped with everything you need to handle any situation. Don�t rely on nicotine to see you through�you can handle

Stormy, You've received some valuable advice! Rewards are extremely important especially during those first few weeks! So be kind to yourself, do things that comfort and lift your mood. Many quitters become frustrated and upset as they struggle to learn how to replace that cigarette and live life without it. This is also normal, there is a learning curve, just keep practicing this new skill. You will get better at it everyday. A few suggestions: keep a quit journal, fill it with inspirational quotes, posts, personal logs, whatever helps you get through the rought spots. Feeling anxious? Get up and get moving, physical activity is a great way to channel that energy. Low on energy? Post here, play a computer game, read a book, take a long bath, take a nap... whatever works best for you! Keep persevering, we know how strong you are! You can do this!

Hi Stormy, Congratulations! Hell week is over! Be sure to reward yourself and your husband for this accomplishment. You needn't be worried about heck week. Generally many feel that the first week is very tough - as such it has been referred to as "Hell Week". The second week is challenging too but is usually a little easier to get through - therefore - it has been nicknamed "Heck Week". Keep persevering, you're making great progress!

It depends on what you do to replace the cravings. I know it can be hard to take your mind off of it, but somehow, you have to try to do exactly that. It won't necissarily get any harder, just keep reminding yourself of the reasons you quit.

Stormy You are almost through hell week. I had such a hard time I simply hid out as much as I could. It does get much much better. Stay strong. Keep using your strategy to stay quit and keep on posting here. If it weren't for the help I got here from other quitters I would have just given up. Know why you want to quit, take a big deep breath and take one step at a time. It will all be different if not today on tuesday. Here is a post for you. [url=http://www.stopsmokingcenter.net/support/viewmessages.aspx?Forum=15&Topic=22608]When Will They Stop[/url] Hope this helps keep on letting us know how you are doing. As a great quitter here said "No matter what don't light up!"

Stormy IMO, you might want to try the nicotine gum or another form of NRT. Also, you may want to see your doc about getting a prescription for wellbutrin. Sounds like you need something to take the edge off so you can function. Some will disagree since the nic is out of your body after 3 days but it's not good to suffer too much. Stay close, post often, we are here for you.

Hi, Stormy. Have you been rewarding yourself? They are very important to the healing process. To see how rewards work, click [url=http://www.stopsmokingcenter.net/support/viewmessages.aspx?topic=24919&forum=1]here[/url]. Also, try to redirect your focus from your craving. I know that's hard at first, but it's a matter of learning how. It does get better, Stormy. I know that's not much comfort right now, but please do keep that in mind. Keep up the good quit. :) Shevie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/23/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 426 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 8,523 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1618.8 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 79 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 37 [B]Seconds:[/B] 10

Hi, Stormy. Congratulations on one week smoke-free. You have accomplished what many have not. For that you should be very proud of yourself. Don't worry about heck week. It is not nearly as bad as hell week which you have just conquered. You got through that, you�ll get through this easily. Don�t forget your rewards. And give hubby a big hug for sticking by you. An understanding and supportive spouse is a real diamond during these times. Keep up the good quit, Stormy. You�re doing great!.

STOP! Take a deep breath. You are going through the worst. Noone ever died from withdrawal. You won't either. But I know how it feels. I spent my first week sobbing and sleeping. All emotional equilibrium left, I felt like I was losing my sanity. My relationship with my husband temporarily went in the toilet. My relationship with myself was even worse. I wondered if ever ever I would feel normal again. Blind faith is what it took. Faith in these internet "strangers" on this site who assured me that this would not last forever. It doesn't!!! And one day you will wonder what took you so darn long. The freedom from addiction is a wonderful thing. Accept that you are an addict. Accept then, that of course, you will have to go through hell to get to the other side. Rejoice in your freedom rather than mourn your slavery. Reward yourself often! Stay as close to this site as you can. Post and read and post and read til you can't sit anymore. Make a smoking notebook out of your favorite posts. Pound pillows. Throw old dishes at trees. Whine and sob and sleep and cry. Just get through it and you will be amazed at the joy on the "other side". You can do this. Believe.
