Alice The physical part of the addiction is over now ( so they say ) but the mind games are a complete other story. We wonder if it will ever get any better and it does but can be a long arduous process. You decided not to smoke some 39 days ago and reafirmed that yesterday. You've already been through the hardest of days so look forward not back. Remember H.A.L.T. The small problems that we let get blown out of proportion are the ones that can send us back to smokeland. You can start a new day any time you like. Tell yourself that as a non smoker I'm one up and a slave no more. Hand the demon its chains back and its walking papers because you've got better things think about. Sometimes we just need to recharge our batteries and stop to smell the roses. This is a learning process. We're learning how to live all over again. Excellent for you. breather

Alice,

Hats off to you for pulling yourself out of this craving. That wouldnt have been easy but u have done it and u should be proud of urself.

.If ever again u get this (i hope u don't) try to get your mind busy. Talk to your friend, run some errands, go out for a walk, take deep breaths etc. These all cravings are in our brain so give your brtain something else to do.

Its common to gain weight after quit smoking regardless of how much we diet or do exercise. Smokers weigh less because smoking depresses the appetite for certain foods, while quitters, whose appetites are not suppressed, gain weight because they take in more calories. While food intake may not be the only factor operating – nicotine may also alter the smoker’s metabolism so that smokers burn more calories and convert fewer calories into fat.

And u have done the right thing to write your feelings out. Bottling up ur feelings wont do any good. We all are here for u

After some tears, hair pulling, screaming, and a migraine headache, I have decided to not smoke today. It was a hard decision. I spent over an hour trying to convince myself that "it would be okay to smoke" and "smoking will make all this stress go away." But in the end, I made the choice not to smoke.

I just don't get why after all this time I am still getting intense cravings. I feel like I have gained so much weight (although I am eating less and exercising more), I am extremely emotional (crying over the smallest things), and overwhelmed by stress (ranging from school to family). I know smoking doesn't solve these problems but I did feel thinner, less emotional and less stressed.

I am not sure why I am writing this. I don't know if I want advice or if I just want to vent. Whatever the reason, I just want to thank you all for being here. I hope tomorrow is easier.

~Alice
