Just miss it!

Gimm

Sounds like you are an old hand at this already. Yes you may miss it, it was a part of you for a long time. But the missing is not a bad thing. You will get used to the feeling and soon because you have come accostomed to it, you will no longer notice it. I promise you that you can do this. Just keep talking to the people here. They understand and many are going through the same things that you are.

Stay Well

I know the feeling, I have felt it in the past too. But with this quit I dont miss it, because I realize now what i was missing was a nasty ADDICTION. Not a habit, because it really isnt a habit, its an addiction. It raises our blood pressure, hardens our arteries, makes us smell nasty, rots our mouth and so on. So think of this when you think about missing it. Smoking is just an a nasty addiction. And the reason why we continue to smoke is because once we stop we begin going through actual withdrawals. So hang in there, the withdrawals will pass and it does take time. Exercise, drink water and stay positive. You are doing great and it will get easier!!!

Welcome Sundilite (love that name!),

Yes --you will miss it--but I promise it does get easier with time.

Look around at non-smokers and watch what they do after a meal--or simply anytime when they are carrying on their life as a non-smoker.

I promise you it is very do-able. This war can be won. One minute, one hour or one day at a time. YOU can do it!

Ice water, deep breaths and alot of time reading old threads got me through during the early days. Take your time--each crave you beat the nicodemon becomes weaker.

N.O.P.E.

Sun,

It will pass and it will dwindle! Try not to let it consume you! Yes, it was a major part of your life, but you have your life back now and you can do with it what you wish! Use this second chance to join a team, pilates group, book club, coffee club or just take some you time!

Its worth it!

Gimm, you are doing extremely well.

fyi, All of us enjoyed the relief we got from nicotine withdrawal when we ingested nicotine.
We just didn't like the way we went about it & the effect it had on our lives !

It doesn't take long before you see it for what it is & 'IT' as not your friend so don't be fooled.

Addiction is a very powerful thing, if you are going do the inevitable & go cold turkey you may want to wean yourself off the NRT, just saying.

I am on day 48 and I really miss it too. It's very strange but I guess after 20 years of smoking when you don't have it anymore, it's like losing a friend (evil friend granted). I just want to be able to not miss it..will that ever happen?
