Tomorrow


Recommended Posts

wow tomorrow is going to be a week already!  I am doing pretty good.  The cravings come and go, but I think I'm doing a pretty good job of ignoring them.  Sometimes it is easier to ignore than others, but it is what it is and I'm prepared to have that battle forever!  Thank you all for the support, it has helped sooo much!! :)

Ignore them and they will go away.

 

One day, soon[1], they will go away forever and never come back [2] .

 

When a crave hits, it's a simple case of mind over matter:

Easy Peasy

 

[1] Sooner than you think.

[2] The Sarge hasn't had what he'd consider a "crave" in almost 2 years now.

Good job, Brittany!  In the beginning of my quit when someone who had been quit longer said it would get better, I wondered if it was true.  Since I didn't know, I had to trust them and believe me, they knew what they were talking about!  So just trust us, it will get better (and before you know it)!!

You have done brilliant Brittany!! No words of wisdom as I just hung in there lol, you just hang on and wait for better days I think. So chuffed for you, that almost a week is a powerful time for self pride - you deserve to be free. x

Brittany you are doing fantastic, In the early days of my quit I was so envious of anyone who said it would get better, I used to think Huh what do they really know, they have no idea what I am going through!! but do you know something, they were all right every single one of them, it does get easier it does get better it is so worth staying strong and getting past every crave, the crave will not hurt you, but if you give in to it it will hurt you badly it will take you back to being an addict again, stay strong Brittany you got this xx

Yahooooo for you Brittany!

 

One week ago you sounded scared and was worried if you were going to be able to do this!

 

Now look at you sounding with some authority, " I'm doing a pretty good job at ignoring them"

 

You have come farther than thousands before you, you did something they could not do, QUIT!!!!

 

Congratulations!

Week one in the bag - next week is overall easier except for the one or two really freaky wanna smoke waves that come out of the blue. What worked for me was saying I didn't want to go back to smoking full time so I just didn't light up the first one.

 

Good job.

Great job Brittany - doing great and love how you are staying close to the board. The good things about craves - is each one you successfully face down makes you stronger - so how awesome does that make you ? a0d0423989cfe63dbac86525c36d6b54_zpsff34

Hey Brittany!

 

Congrats on one week. :D That's awesome! Believe it or not, but eventually, you'll get to a point in your quit where you forget you even smoked. Keep that in mind throughout your quit journey!

 

You're doing great. Keep it up, stay close to the board, and post as often as you'd like!

By the way, it's not all unicorns farting rainbows, it's going to get weird and unpleasant for a couple of weeks more, this is normal, it won't be fun, but just keep in mind why you're quitting and it'll be (in the words of the Sarge) Easy Peasy.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
