Sh*t memories

[Evelyn]

I'm processing memories in therapy and this afternoon was hard, painful and emotional. 
I feel this fag pulling in my mind and I don't correct it I'm toast.
Yes it hurts - to go through. Yes I cry. Yes I feel very lonely in my pain. But cigarettes won't solve the problem, it only CREATES a PROBLEM.

So I choose NOT to smoke. I am stronger that cancerstick. Life already hurts, emotionally don't need an asthma attack only to satisfy my urge to smoke. 

I CHOOSE NOT TO SMOKE, RIGHT NOW. (but encouraging is welcome)

 

[Sarah]

Don't smoke. Its the clever thing to do. I've been through a few problems myself and chose not to smoke. You're better for it in the long run

[action]

That's right Evelyn, smoking just makes everything a whole lot worse... Life is already hard enough, so no need to make it even harder with money and extra health problems on top...

 

One day, you will look back and realise how strong you are being at this moment in your life. You are beating cigarettes, and that is a big deal - take a look at your quite dare of 11th September to see just how far you have come... There's no going back for you now, because smoking sucks!

 

Tomorrow will be a better day ;)

[Evelyn]

I know. But I'm craving badly. 

[Tink]

You are taking back control Evelyn and what a great choice you are making

 

NOPE just for today and repeat

[Evelyn]

NOPE. Anyone with a tissue?

[Tink]

evelyn you need to distract yourself and get busy and the craving will get weak

 

eat

drink

read a book

 

anything to get your mind off the though process x

[Evelyn]

Going to eat a sandwich in a few minutes

[Tink]

thats good what sandwich you having?

[Evelyn]

With cheese, don't care to cook now after T I usually warm up a can of beans and a small can of vegetables. One exception won't hurt.

[Tink]

eating something will be good

 

do you like tea? as in drinking tea?

 

they say its good after an emotional upset

 

so if you like and have any make yourself a nice cup of tea anything will do herbal or black or green

Hey Evelyn.

 

Good work. The cravings will come, and every time you deal with them so well - they get weaker. Great stuff today. Well done.

[action]

You are doing so well - a craving is never a command, you just need to tell your cravings to shut up (I know, sometimes easier said than done).  We will be here for you this evening; stay close to us for as long as you need to :)

[Doreensfree]

There will always be someone here....I need to go out for a while ...

But will do my best to be here. As much as I can....

Look at it as a huge acheivement.....you will win.....nothing is more stronger than you are.....

How are you doing, Evelyn? Are you feeling any better? Did you get your sandwich and a Netflix episode? (Both great ideas for getting past a crave!  :) )

[Sarah]

Or have a shower until the craving has passed, its a bastard to light a cigarette in the shower!

[Humbled]

Hang in there - you will get through this -we all have demons but all of us here also have incredible victories as well - we are all non-smokers now. We said no to the crave and decided to live a life of NOPE!  I am very happy that you came to the board - there will always be someone here for you. Remember the old ad on tv

 

Say No then go and tell someone you can trust - well this board works in the same fashion - say no to the crave then come here and confide as to what is goin gon and we can get you through it.  Stay Strong E!

Good choices, Evelyn! I hope you can see that you're really developing the strength and the skills to weather your craves. Every time you are able to keep your quit through a rough patch like today, your quit is stronger. Good for you! You're rocking your quit this time! Keep going.
