Jenny Quit Date: 05/24/2012 Posted November 9, 2014 Cravings are the most feared in a quit and we all know they can be uncomfortable. It's this fear that keeps many of us from even attempting to quit smoking. The fear of being uncomfortable. We feel this way even though we know that smoking related disease is probably not terribly comfortable either.....addiction is so not rational.... The addiction wants to manipulate you into believing that there is no way you could ever survive quitting. No way you could ever get through a minute, hour or day feeling like you want to smoke and not give in. Seriously.....Pffft. We're tougher than that. It's all just hype designed to keep you smoking. A crave is not a command to smoke. Just because you feel it, does not mean you need to act on it. Acknowledge it and move on. As time goes on, those craves will fade away and in it's place will be a person who stood up and took control of their life. There is no greater feeling than that. No greater feeling.

Another awesome month closer to a year quit @Brioski, how cool is that?! Well done! I hope you have a great day and celebrate your success

Glad to see you feeling better @Doreensfree

@robin0212, there's been lots of members who cried a lot during their first months quit so this too is normal. Some of us get really irritable and some really emotional. Remember our bodies are adjusting to not only the nicotine but the 1000's of chemicals we consumed all those years of smoking so crying is an outlet for that and is a good thing.

Believe it or not @robin0212 you're doing great and going through what a lot of us did at that stage so I can tell you with certainty that it will get better soon enough so hang in there, you got this!

MarylandQuitter Quit Date: 10/07/2013 Posted October 4, 2014 is that you may not ever quit again. This is a very realistic outcome if you choose to smoke again. We've all heard that smoking doesn't make anything better when in fact it makes it worse. It's doesn't calm you down, solve your problems and instead costs a small fortune and kills you. If you've started again, quit and right the ship. If you're thinking about smoking again, quickly get that thought under control and make a decision based on facts, not emotion. Emotion is what has always caused me to relapse. I was pissed off, stressed or in some funk. Here are a couple of videos to give you some things to think about work through this. Just hang on, before you know it these rough times will pass. Stay positive and stick around here. With the nuts we have here (I'm the lead nut, thank you very much) you can't help but stay at least a little bit positive. The Power Of Nicotine Addiction Video explains the full power of the grip that nicotine can take on an individual and the consequences that can be faced if a person does not quit smoking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpYRrZG5l8A Who Wants To Go Back To Smoking? This video discusses how former smokers at times think they want to go back to smoking, but if they really remind themselves of the package deal that goes along with being a smoker, it will be easy for them to stick to their quit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG9qGjf2hd8&list=PL76365B6CE2DA076B Are You Stronger Than Your Cigarettes? This video discusses the importance of understanding that you won't be able to quit smoking and stay free by becoming stronger than cigarettes but rather by becoming smarter than nicotine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxLxDuTOCT0 "It's Inevitable, Some Smokers Are Going To Relapse" If you are a member of any quit smoking support group, whether it be online or a live program, it is likely that some members of your group are going to fail. You should not interpret this fact to mean that it is likely or inevitable that you are going to fail. Video spells out the major difference between people who relapse and those who don't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ego_dpPmfOk Link to original post: https://www.quittrain.com/topic/2942-the-thing-about-relapse-or-considering-it/

Glad to have you back and with that awesome quit intact! ☺
