19 days quit. I'm finding myself thinking about how to get rid of the negative feelings ie anger/uncomfortableness. I don't want to smoke but there is a part my psyche that misses it. Been using the lozenges and am wondering if that is making things worse but worried that if I stop, I'll go back to smoking. I don't miss smoking but do miss the comfort of normalcy.

 

My mouth hurts and this is making me angry. 

 

But I also know that if I keep going, then one day, these feelings will be nothing but a memory.  

 

If I don't keep going, then one day, I will have to figure out what I want to suck on. My cigarette or my oxygen. Or I could blow up my face with both.

THIS is amazing @madturtle! I am so very happy for you. I am only (almost) 3 months quit and a year of being smoke free seems so very far away, but I notice that when I try to focus on the long term I get really anxious, so I am still a day by day and sometimes an hour by hour quitter. I so totally understand how the mind can so easily cause you to want light one up and reminisce. But that will not happen because I can never go through the early mental anguish of quitting ever again. Once again, congratulations and I hope that you are so very proud of yourself! 🤗

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
