How depressing.

What happened?

[Jclarke241]

I just couldn't stop obsessing about smoking. I'm told that it'll pass but after two weeks (the first week was the easiest) I just gave in. I'm want to quit again but tonight is rough. I can't stop crying.

 

I'm not even hungry I'm so upset! :) <------------my attempt at lightening the mood.

Jen.there is no timetable.

 

Some folk quit and never look back.

 

Some find week x easy and month y a challenge. It's personal.

 

How we find it is controlled by us. There is no external agency. The nicotine dependency disappears pretty quickly, the rest is 'in the mind'

 

I'm at 11 months now. I smoked anywhere from a pack to three packs a day for 30 years.

 

I am happier now than I was then.

 

Do I sometimes feel like I want a cigarette? Yep. Same way that I sometimes feel like killing another driver...(I dont do either!)

 

I do not pretend to have all the answers JC. There is no fixed date. Just quit one day at a time. Focus on rejoicing that you have quit for an hour, for two, for a day, for a weekend, for a week...it IS better not smoking than smoking. Honest.
