Stubborn, hang in there now, okay? Keep posting, venting, and reading. Stay close to us right now through this rough time. We really want to help you every step of the way.
I really think that you need to focus on some positive thoughts. If you don't think of the reasons why you Quit in the first place, you may start looking for excuses to smoke.
You will live much longer, you don't stink anymore, your breath is fresh, you don't have to arrange plans around your smoking addiction, you're not being glared at by Non Smokers while you take a drag off of a cigarette, you're not running outside to light up after a movie or while visiting a Non Smokers home, your wife is so relieved that you've quit AND, she's healthier without the second hand smoke blowing in her face. Oh, this list can go on and on. Maybe you should re-focus on your list of reasons/benefits for not smoking instead of thinking about how miserable you are.
Take a deep, deep breath and see if you go into a coughing fit. If you don't, you're healthier. Test yourself in those ways.
Stubborn, this will ease up on you. Imagine how many times you craved a cigarette as a smoker. You start craving about 25 minutes after you put one out so that's a heck of a lot of craving in a day. Are you craving that much now that you're a NON SMOKER?
If you feel unhealthy, and you haven't had a check up, maybe you should consider seeing your doctor. I think I would if I absolutely didn't feel healthy. Smoking could have been masking another problem. Peace of mind is good medicine.
Stay Strong with Me,
Tutti
