MammaD, when I first quit I remember I wanted to smack alot of people since everybody was bothering me. Everything somebody did was wrong. I was upset at everybody. So you know what I did, I hid. So many people I knew smoked, and I think I was just upset that they were still smoking and I wasnt. So I told them all I still loved them, but I couldn't hang out with them for a while. Unless we were in a smoke free place. But you know what? After a week or so the nicotine was out of my body, and I was doing better. People didn't upset me as much. And then I felt like I was back to normal.
Are you rewarding yourself? Have you found a new hobby or something to keep you occupied? Now is the time to find new things to do! I figure I smoked 2 packs a day, at 5 minutes a day. That was like 3 hours of time I got back! Just remember that you are 5 days smoke free. You're approaching one week. The nicodemon is going to try to draw you back. Just say N.O.P.E. and tell the nicodemon that you control your life now! You are doing great!
