Hi, Vonda. Congratulations on 106 days quit. That's fantastic. :)
A lot of quitters have various problems around 100 days. Some get depressed, some anxious, some actually have craves that rival or surpass those of the first week. The good news is, it all passes in a short time.
You could very well be looking for excuses to slip. Part of this 100-day thing is the junkie rears his ugly head. It's as if he knows this is his last chance and he pulls out all the stops to get you to relapse.
There will always be issues, Vonda. Whether you smoke, or not, they will always exist. Smoking won't cure them, make them go away, or keep new ones from arising. The only thing smoking does is emotionally numb you. (No, Junkie, that's not what she's looking for. Leave it be!)
What you need is distraction and reward. Maybe a visit with family, if possible? What things make you feel good or happy? You need to shift your focus from how bad you feel to other, more positive, things. Instead of reading posts looking for excuses, try finding some low-cost reward ideas. Rewards are very important to the healing process, Vonda. Many quitters don't realize this and it's lead to many lost quits.
There have been some reward threads. I'll see if I can find them and bump them for you. They'll probably be in the General Discussion forum.
Hang in there, Vonda. We're pulling for you.
