Thanks, I just hope I make it through the day.  The last 3 days have been a bear for me the first half of the day.  The thought of what it would feel like to light up just keeps popping into my head.  I swat them away as quickly as possible.  Been using the my visualization, focusing on the $4000 it would cost me and the 7000 more I would smoke, reading my prewritten ressponse, taking walks, etc but the dang thought keeps coming back.  Today is probably the worst day since I quit.  Subconscious keeps say "just today" which is obviously BS.  Only fell for that like every time before.

@JustinHoot99, when I had days like that I used my JAC (jillars air cigarette). It worked great at tricking my mind into thinking it was getting the real thing. I just pretending I was holding a cigarette and went through the motions of "smoking" it. I couldn't believe how well it worked. Some people have used pens, cut straws, even licorice for theirs but I liked looking stupid lol 😂

Just another tool to add to your arsenal :)

I actually have read it.

 

What I really need is a drill sergeant to B slap me upside the head and tell me to quit whining.

"Are you freakin nuts?  You got more red "didn't smoke" X's than anytime since your 20's and you are thinking of blowing it?  Is there a gun to your head, are you being water boarded, being tortured in any way?  If not, I suggest you think this through.  Think about the $4000 that one cigarette will cost and the 7000 you will be required to smoke cause you know you have never summoned the courage and strength to try again in less than 1 year."

Huge congratulations on one month down.   I sometimes had really tough days right before big milestones.  Not sure why, but I guess it's just more of the push and pull of addiction trying to turn a reason to celebrate into a reason to cave.  Whatever the cause, the tough days do jump out at you and you just have to push through.  For several months, I would plot all day at work on Fridays exactly how I would stop for a pack on the way home and just smoke my way through the weekend and then quit.  I would picture the route I'd take and count down the minutes -- somehow I managed never to make that stop and continued to muddle through the first year.  You've got this, Justin.

Probably right.  I've been eye balling the 30 day mark for the last 3 days.  My subconscious is getting panicky and pulling out all the stops.

Thats more me! Plus it's Star Trek related and everyone know that makes it twice as cool.  It's actually what I sometimes want to say to people, but I know not everyone responds to the same inputs as I do.

We have The Sarge.  And Doreen wields a mean frying pan.

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.
