Have read this today because the thread has been bumped. And it seems so appropriate to me right now. I wonder how you're doing Rob? My first 5 weeks or so were relatively easy. Then I lost my job. And since then, the days seem very very long and I ACHE most of the time actually. I don't crave a smoke - I just have this ache, this discomfort. Combined with which, I have always suffered from mood swings ranging from diagnised depression through to general blues. Right now, I feel relatively OK - BUT I have this strong urge that were I to go and buy a pack, in a couple of smokes time, I would be feeling really quite happy. And I don;t feel like that so much of the time and I WANT that feeling. God. I too am hanging on for the future. That's ALL that keeps me going. My Quit Counsellor tells me there is a "moment" for everybody. A eureka moment that generally comes at around 15 to 18 months. So I am trying to keep going for that length of time at least. But meantime, I am just one big scratchy ball of discomfort and ache and fristration! Those bits you have to tick as you log in - about craves and how strong they are. They don't seem to match me AT ALL. It isn't a craving for a cigarette that hits me. I don't think "Oh, I want to light up" I just don't want all of these other little nasty uncomfortable blighters sitting on my shoulders. Rob, I hope you're still here.

Have always valued your insight and reflections, I called it "refreshing" way back at the start of the thread, but I think it's more that, maybe a connection with my generation's way of thinking. Whatever it is, my quit continues to fit what you describe and somehow that gives me a lot of comfort. Good luck to you Rob47, sincere congratulations to you on one year and here's to renegotiation. My best regards to you, Lilly [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/11/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 281 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 8,441 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �1405 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 36 [B]Hrs:[/B] 19 [B]Mins:[/B] 7 [B]Seconds:[/B] 13

Serenity, Have you been keeping up with your rewards? Until that eureka moment & other times of happiness come, giving yourself something tangible or pursuing interests that bring pleasure may help lift your mood. Danielle ________________________ The SSC Support Team

Serenity- first of all, I can't believe this old thread got bumped!! Secondly...yes, I'm still here, but don't mistake lack of posting to equal relapsing or some such. To every thing there is a season and while this site helped a lot in the beginning, I tend to connect rarely and lay low now as I think newer quitters know best what they need from each other...at least that was how it was for me. I still have tough times with it...also have good times. That's life. Keep up the good quit. Hi Rusty!
