Using my anger

for 19 år siden 0 +0 / -0 327

Cool, Turtle. I love to hear other people's means of getting through the withdrawl. We all have our own unique thing that works in our minds. I loved hearing about you in your car screaming at the addiction and I loved the determination that came through in your story. That is so awesome and I can see why you have 93 days on your meter! Great job and great post!

Hi Turtlelilly Good method! And an old saying, "All I need is just one" one method that works for me. That is the answer.

Hell week was hell, torture, evil, and every other negative adjective out there. Weeks 2 and 3 were almost as hard for me. I had a lot of stressful things happening in my life. Things that in the past would have been more than enough of an excuse to drop my quit. But not this time. This time I used my anger, frustration and anxiety in a different way. Instead of hating my quit for making me feel so crappy, I turned my hate towards the true source. Every headache, cold sweat, tearful moment I suffered was NOT because of the quit. I would never had had to quit, if it weren't for that demon. So I would take a 'non-smoke break,' lock myself in my car, and yell. Yell at the nicotine, yell at the stresser, yell at the craving. "F#@% you! You are not worth losing my quit!' It worked. I got out my frustrations, cried some, and scared passers-by ;) But I didn't smoke. I can't even count the number of times I tried to stop in the past. But really, that's all it was, I stopped smoking for a while. I didn't change my coping mechanisms, I didn't change my life to exclude nicotine. This time, I truly quit.

WOW! Way to go, turtlelilly! SSC should mail stickers to those registered users: "BEWARE---Someone close by has quit smoking and cannot be held responsible for their actions!" You can post one on your car, the front door of your home and at the office! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 9/8/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 60 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,019 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $480 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 4 [B]Seconds:[/B] 41

Good post, turtle. Some people experience anger, frustration and anxiety during their quit but aren't sure why or where to direct it. Directing it at the addiction sounds good to me (and a lot of people around you are probably relieved) ;) You're almost to 100 days... Congratulations!
