You go girl!! This is all you!! Own it and kick it to the curb and into the gutter. No time for negativity now. Congratulations and I so hope that you regain full control over your health!

@Robbie Great going! WooHoo! I also have that feeling you were describing. I likened it to a constant state of low tension. Like just being on the verge of a low level anxiety attack. It went away after a couple of days though. All I can say is stay busy. Busy, busy, busy. My problem with that is that I’m 55 and after the second busy I am tired. LOL But napping works as well as being busy. Just not very healthy to do to much of. Good luck and I was just wondering about you yesterday. So glad to see that you are still with us.

Your friend sounds like an amazing and beautiful person! I’m glad that you were able to spend time with her and I’m so proud of you for not giving in to the nicotine demon.

Thank you! I’m feeling much better today! I am also dealing with so many personal issues. I’m having to learn how to cope in a whole new way. Evidently, smoking was my coping mechanism and I am a complete moron who is unable to control her emotions without it. HaHa But I am wading through and will prevail. I KNOW that I couldn’t survive another quit and will not allow myself to take up the burden of smoking again.

It comes and goes. Today for me is no joy. I need to dig deep and find it. I know it’s there. I’m just very tired right now. I will let her shine tomorrow. I know others on here say the mental battle is a long one and is a hard fight and I get that. Today is just a pull the blanket over my head and forget the world exists kind of day. I haven’t wanted to smoke to make it better but my anxiety levels are through the roof. Not as bad as when I initially quit, but close. Y’all send me some happy thoughts and say a prayer for me. You are doing great! @PeachFuzz I remember my 8th and 9th days! Whew! Glad they are behind me. I have enjoyed following your quit and I think that you are doing very well. Keep doing what you’ve been doing and get the worst of the mental anguish out of the way. Then you can tackle all of the other stuff with a ‘you ain’t got nothing on me’ attitude because I kicked nicotine’s butt! LOL

Praying for good results @Opah

“Pay it forward” Express your quit. Your first, second, third, the sticky. Every battle, every loss, every win. Victory!!! Each and every expression on this site has impressed upon me an affirmation, a warning, guidance, and encouragement to stay on the train. I would be drowning in all kinds of anti-self mental states without the input of other passengers. I am so thankful I found this forum and that I have found my quit.
