Good morning~ Day 5. I hope y'all can remember what the first HELL WEEK is like. 

I read a story last night that really made me cry. A woman diagnosed with terminal cancer {lung}. She decided to stop smoking..even though she was dying. Her kid's couldn't understand why. She told them 'you have always wanted me to stop smoking, I said I couldn't. But actually I wouldn't'. 

That really hit home with me. It's not that I cannot stop, it is hard as hell of course, as y'all know. I feel so proud of myself some moment's, then a failure other's {because I still want a cigarette}. 

I keep pushing along, just hour at a time. During work is the hardest. As I said in another post, most of the men smoke, I have to walk past them when I go downstairs {they cannot smoke inside}, but I smell the cigarettes, smell it on them. Which is now becoming a disgusting smell. 

I'm thinking that is progress? Yet why do I still want a cigarette?

It´s perfectly normal to want a cigarette after 5 days of abstinence, your quit is still young and i´m afraid you will want a cigarette for a long time. Hell, i want one. But after the withdrawal it becomes easy to manage the need for one. At one point in time you will achieve confort and It´ll become a nostalgic need more than anyting that you can control easily. Until you get there, keep on noping! Good luck!

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.
