Cravings to smoke and withdrawal symptoms are a normal, temporary part of the quitting process. Focus on the fact that these are "recovery symptoms" and they'll soon be behind you. Remember, if you don't give in and smoke, you won't ever have to experience them again! For these Symptoms: Try: The urge to smoke, strong cravings---- Tell yourself that the urge will pass in three to five minutes. Distract yourself by doing something else. Feeling irritable, tense, on edge---- Take a break. Walk away from the situation. Deep breathing or a brisk walk can help. Trouble concentrating---- Break up large projects into smaller ones. Look for ways to take short breaks. Extra energy, restlessness--- Your body is rebounding. Use this extra energy for things you have been putting off. Sleepiness--- Take a walk to get some fresh air or take a catnap. Trouble sleeping at night--- Try deep breathing and avoid drinks with caffeine. Take a brisk walk. Constipation and irregularity--- Add fiber to your diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains). Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water daily. Coughing--- This is a good sign! Your lungs are working to clear themselves out. Have cough drops on hand. Headache--- Your body is adjusting to being nicotine-free. Try some deep breathing. Hunger and craving for sweets--- These reactions are normal. Drink water. Reach for a low calorie snack or low sugar sweets. Some of the many lasting positive signs of recovery from smoking include: Brighter skin A better sense of taste and smell Lower heart rate and blood pressure More energy Reduced sinus problems Better circulation Feelings of pride and accomplishment

Are u merry fluffy? Hope you had fun I might actually prefer a funeral in a foreign language jillar i hate funerals. Enjoy ur beer. Im watching pulp fiction and about to get some mint choc chip ice cream (diet starts...you guessed it..tomoro! Ha!)

nope

Sitting on a train and realising I seem to spend half my life sitting on a train..!!

NOPE!!!!!

Having a much needed beer! The Catholic funeral was mostly in Spanish so since I speak un poco Espanol (a little) I had not a clue for most of the ceremony. We are very close to the whole family so the language barrier didn't matter...

I am a planner extraordinaire. Spreadsheets, calendars, reminders, graphs. I planned at least 50 quits over the decades. That being said, I actually quit on a whim. I was so tired of going to bed wheezing every night and feeling shortness of breath. One night, after my final evening cigarette, I said, "That's my last one. I'm done." In the back of my mind I thought I'd last a maximum of 3 days. That seemed to be my normal "quit" time limit. I still, to this day, can't say exactly why this time I didn't start up again after day 3, or 10 or 100. I just know that the longer I went, the more valuable my quit became to me. I didn't want to throw it away, even when the cravings seemed unbearable. Now I feel completely free. So, I'd encourage anyone who decides to spontaneously quit to go for it. You never know if some unknown factor will kick in and make it your forever quit. ****** Of course planning, education, and support greatly improves one's chance of success.******

NOPE - smoking sucks!

Have a relaxing weekend..... NOPE.....

Many successful quitters here on QTrain have quit on a whim and just like them, I quit on a whim too. This is what led me to making one of the most important decisions in my life on a whim... It was after a trip to California, where finding a place to smoke was problematic and I was among non smoking friends. For the first time, I started seeing addiction for the slavery that it is and I acknowledged my bondage. When slipping outside for another smoke, I glibly announced, "I'm going out now, to shoot up." On the aeroplane back home, a colossal coughing fit overwhelmed me. I had to stand in the back while attendants tapped my back and brought me water. That was weird, I thought. That was awful. What was that about ? After landing, I didn't rush outside for a smoke before climbing into a jitney. Something had changed. Instead, I thought, why don't you try and quit....you already have 6 or 7 hours clean ? Why not ? Let's quit smoking for a while and see how that feels. I spent the next 72 hours sleeping a lot, drinking whisky and reading all about quitting smoking, all about nicotine addiction. After those days, as nicotine left my body, quitting became a wager with myself, a bargain. 'If you don't feel better in five minutes... maybe you'll feel better tomorrow... if you are not feeling pretty good by next week... or, in a month...see what happens after a year.' You can always go back to smoking. You know what that feels like. The thing was....I was feeling Free. While I was beating a trigger or a crave....I was learning how to be Free. It was intoxicating ! It was empowering ! That was where the whim became a serious enterprise. I realized, I would conquer any obstacle to my freedom from nicotine, it was just a matter of time and choice. Maybe you will quit on a whim. You don't need much. Cool clear Water, the fresh Air you breathe, some Kindness towards yourself, and a Willingness To Be free. and from our friend, Joel Spitzer, here are resources regarding Setting Quit Dates

Great night for a fire in the mountains....

er no sorry it didnt I am still shovelling it in as fast as I can.... oh its heaven.............................any other suggestions, I think I.m addicted!

Eavesdropping on 3 tipsy ladies conversation on the train ?

Watching Hans Zimmer Live in Prague (he was live in Prague, I'm sitting on my sofa ?)

i know the feeling of dealing with a commute each day, and in the heat it blows.

NOPE!

Nooe?

pre-washed the linen hangs like a bedouin tent, evocatively About 'the other' Weegie Woman wants to know. "Go for it" says she. She is always right. Take your chances, get happy. Love is where it's at

Three month battle. Tough time. it could last a couple days. Make it through this trying time and this is the final big battle. Sometimes the three-month mark (or close to it) is the worst. Do not be one of the members around here who run into a rough patch only to give in and go back to smoking.

Aaawww Ren sweetie, how's you doing now?? Great advice been given here and I can't think of anything to add except jillars Air cig saw me threw many a tough time ?. I hope the worst has passed for you now, pop on when you can and let us know how you are xx

Just got finished signing what seemed like 100 documents for selling our house and making an offer on a new house in a different community. The next month or 3 are gonna be interesting. I can only hope things fall in line timing wise! Could get stressful at times I suppose. At least I don't have to worry about going out for a smoke every time things go a little off the rails

Thanks Jillar, I am trying to kerb it a bit by buying Skinny popcorn, sea salt only, not the toffee stuff, its 48 calories a bag so not too bad, but just eating so many bags of it!! I bet the store is sick of me going in.....I am buying up all the multi bags haha................. here she comes the popcorn lady ? Now you ladies are putting the idea in my head to have some popcorn !

eating popcorn..........................again! someone stop me perlease!

I never played this one but it had quite the cult following

How are you doing, Ren? You did great reaching out and posting an SOS. You've done great in your quit. Almost three months smoke free is a huge accomplishment and many smokers wish they were where you are now. Please stay smoke free. A cigarette will do nothing positive for you and you would have thrown away your beautiful quit. Let us know how you are doing.
