NOPE

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

NOPE

Drinking deep from the bottomless cup of NOPE

Still a NOPE

Those early days sure are tough, My life. They were for me as well, multiple times. I was not one of those who quit successfully on my first try. For my final quit, I had to promise myself that I would not smoke no matter what. That is what finally got me over the hump. And things did slowly but surely get better and I'm sure the same will be true for you. I wish you well, My life, and like Lust says, don't ever feel embarrassed to post an SOS and reach out for help. That is what this place is for.

Give yourself some air. Take some deep breaths. Focus only on breathing, long and slow.

Hey My Life - you have been fighting this addiction with everything your have for weeks now and your addiction knows it's losing the battle. It will wait until you are at your weakest then hit you with everything it still has left in a desperate attempt to draw you back in. Trust me! This sounds overly dramatic but it is the way this addiction works. I've been there. Yes, you're 5 or 6 weeks into your quit but that's still young in the grand scheme of things. I remember struggling horribly a couple of times around my own 6 week mark and soon after that, things were much more manageable. Hang in there My Life - you'll get there too

Quitting can be a vicious cycle. You are the one in control of the brakes to stop it. Go go back and read your older posts. Previous SOS. Think back and remember how god awful the first few hours were. Dont go go back to day 1. That place sucks. Stay here, in YOUR quit & fight.

NOPE!!!!

NOPE!

NOPE!

Stealing another a minute real quick while I'm at work. What I did was stop the truck and get out and walk what I wanted to do was go to the gas station and buy cigarettes before I went back to work sure I was only going to have one ? I took my phone with me on my little walk and read till I barely had time to get back to work. So posting my SOS getting out of the truck and walking and reading your responses saved me! Thank you all so much! And yes the weather here is beautiful today but I think I would have walked if it had been storming

Didnt smoke!!!!!!! I had time to read some responses before I had to come back to work, thank you all so very much I will write more tonight when I'm home from work me and time thank you so much!

Im wanking. In fact i find it very difficul to type and wanljçjkoçjkçokjçkjlpjkikj

Sorry your having a rough moment My Life, but so very proud you posted an SOS... we don't care how often you post an SOS.... that's what the thread is here for.... and did you know when you post an SOS you help someone else who is going through the same thing but hasn't sos'ed ....The nicotine receptors have built up over a long time, they live in your brain, they know your triggers, because they have been pushing them to make you smoke and feed them their nicotine for years.... so they are pushing every red button you have to make you give in. How strong are you... you new it was tight so you asked for help... asking for help takes power... and courage. So proud of you for KTQ.

P.S. please don’t feel scared or ashamed to post SOS! It is a tool that works when people use it- and the people that use it want to protect their quit.

nope

Why now! I know it happens but I don't like it I'm craving like hell now! I know I don't want to smoke!

Almost too scared to post again here ... ? But I have to get through or it's been for nothing. Me shouting out loud that panick attacks /depression have diminished and nearly two days later I am fighting old demons all over again and I'm barely able to push myself back from getting that quick fix (which isn't a fix and all etc bla). Sometimes it's just so frickin raw and apparantly butt-naked and above all roller coasting bumpetiebump, learning to cope in new ways. Is this healing? I want to talk myself through in a firm and decisive way, but all I can manage now is internal demolition, which was exactly one of the reasons to quit smoking (and also often THE reason to start again!!): to learn how to do the nice way, physically as well as mentally. I want to learn that. I really do. And although right now I have no further clue, I am not going to smoke because I know that won't help in any way. I hope I'll be able to laugh about this some day because right now tears and shame are having a blast.

Finally home from work...this week so far has been a bear..no idea what came over me today. Was even a short lunch break, had virtually no time to spare and then out of no where..MUST HAVE A SMOKE...IF I HURRY I CAN GO BUY SOME AND SMOKE JUST ONE! What...the...hell...!? I was flipping out, i can, i wont. I will....aaarghh! Then I SOS'ed at a stop sign..pulled over and got out...to stop myself from from going to gas station, read posts.....and well here i am SMOKE FREE! THANK YOU!!!!!

Hello Parsley, You most likely are in a situation that has triggered you to smoke. It may or may not be identifiable, but wait 15 minutes and it should pass. Also, eat something sweet! That always helps a lot, you may be having low blood sugar at this moment. And stay on the board, I will stay here until the craves passes.

You're NEVER alone here My Life. We have all walked in your footsteps at some point. That is how we get to be free of this horrible addiction

Focussing on breathing now. Made tea. Trying to visualise people know and are doing this with me. Aka, not alone.

Hi my life, you've been given great some great support already and I hope by now you're starting to feel just a little bit better. Maybe try doing what worked for you the last time to calm you. I think you put on some music? Distractions are always good too. Maybe do something you always did without smoking. That will push the thoughts away.

Well... Kelli will be admitted to the hospital tonight. The Dr. wants to induce her. The little guy is “transverse” and hopefully getting the labor process going will get him to head the right direction. If that only doesn’t get him the right direction, the Dr. may have to give him a helping hand.... worst case scenario is the doc would have to perform a c—section. We don’t want that, but whatever it takes for all involved to come through this with happy endings , is all that matters. I’m pretty sure I will be at Kelli’s house for awhile with her little girls while Sherrie is at the hospital... when my youngest daughter gets off of work she said that she would relieve me and I will head up to see Kelli... I’m assuming that we won’t get to see that new little grandson until late tomorrow morning or early afternoon... i will check back back in when I have a name and pictures to post...
