You're doing so good @Kate18, I'm really happy for you4 points

Craved a smoke before embarking on a Costco shop trip this morning. Craved again when I got back and was faced with putting it all away. Heavy cravings the past few days. Don't know why. Just put away the Costco groceries and, since I was still craving a cigarette, came to QT, and presto! Paul723 had bumped this HALT post. (Thank you, Paul) On reflection, I'd say the before-Costco craving was caused by anxiety,. The after-shopping craving was "Tired." Think I'll have a glass of water and a small snack and take a nap.4 points

We smoked. We got addicted to nicotine. We agreed to a bad deal. The inability to go back in time and choose to never begin smoking in the first place left us with two options: (1) Wave the white flag of surrender and continue smoking until it eventually kills us. Or: (2) Commit to the quit. Both options present their own unique series of challenges. However, one option is clearly preferable to the other. Quitting requires a period of adjustment that can present moments of feeling out of sorts, but offers many positive benefits that accrue over time. Choosing to continue to smoke allows you to avoid the temporary adjustment period but offers nothing in return and will eventually take everything from you. The choice basically boils down to: dealing with a bump in the road or continuing to fall into the abyss. The choice is obvious.3 points

I remember the dread. You have to realize it is like grieving a friend. That cigarette was there by your side for a long time. Realize it has never been your friend. Your addiction wants to be noticed. Keep your mind focused on quitting. Breath deep and imagine your body healing. I promise it will improve each day.3 points

The good news and bad news is that almost all of us can relate. That's why the call it Hell Week, but the best news is that you're almost at the end of it. You just have to keep plodding forward, putting the toughest days behind you and trying to find ways to distract yourself along the way. Exercise, read, nap, eat, play games -- whatever can distract you and get you to the next moment. Visualize yourself as the happy non-smoker you want to be and make it come true.3 points

Day 5, still having bad withdrawals. The most annoying part of this is the feeling of dread that this constant lack of happiness will continue on unless I smoke. Does anyone relate? I'm having the worst time3 points

Hey Dully I took up hiking and backpacking. I've done a few trips to the Sierra Nevada and crossed mountain ranges of 12,000+ ft elevation. So amazing. NEVER could have done that when I was a smoker. This one was Rae Lakes last summer. Added on an additional trail to total 60 miles. The possibilities are limitless when you quit smoking.
