It's Sunday morning and on my 5th day. I had a terrible craving this morning when I got up and was thinking again of getting a pack of smokes but didn't do it. I'm fighting the beast tooth and nail. I read junkie thinking and it's great. It helped me an awful lot. Went over to my supportive friend's place and had supper with her. That helped me a great deal too. Then I went to my GA meeting and of all things this guy at the meeting wanted to sell his pack of cigarettes because they weren't his kind. I refused to buy it and I feel pretty good about that. I don't have too much to do today and I don't know how that's going to affect me. I'm going to try to go over to my friend Betty this afternoon and spend time with her. So far I'm hanging in there.

Gin, I am so glad you made it though. See it can get a little rough, but you were tougher :eg: Each time you win, the nicotine looses. Give yourself a star and mark you calender "I WON". Stay close and you and we will get it done.

Gin, Thoughts bring on craves....so the name of the game is to work on thoughts. The best way to cope in your early quit to to avert thoughts. Keep busy....move on to other things. Keep close to this group. Also.....when the going gets tough and tiresome give your brain a rest and watch a movie. It gives you a good 2 hours to escape for a bit. Try it...it works. Oh.....don't forget your reward. It helps so much with the mental aspect. Your brain gets a little flood of feel good chemicals. How ya doing today?

Thanks all of you for your support. I didn't cave in. Still hanging in there. The cravings aren't as bad as before but they're still there. You say it's related anxiety. I'm not sure I understand. I'm manic depressive and I wonder if it's harder for somebody with a mental illness to quit. I do experience anxiety often and I'm taking something for it and it's tolerable. This was my 4th day and it was terrible. I thought the cravings would subside somewhat. I guess not for me. I'm going to go to bed smoke free again today and I feel good about that. Thanks again for your support.

Gin, Maybe it's related anxiety? Try talking a walk. Danielle, Bilingual Support Specialist

Hang in Gin. It seems like a lot of people are having trouble this weekend. You know craves will only pass if you don't give into them, and I'm pretty sure you know you don't want to go through those first 3 days again. Taking a bath works for me, maybe try it. You can get through it, you have before.
