19 days quit. I'm finding myself thinking about how to get rid of the negative feelings ie anger/uncomfortableness. I don't want to smoke but there is a part my psyche that misses it. Been using the lozenges and am wondering if that is making things worse but worried that if I stop, I'll go back to smoking. I don't miss smoking but do miss the comfort of normalcy.

 

My mouth hurts and this is making me angry. 

 

But I also know that if I keep going, then one day, these feelings will be nothing but a memory.  

 

If I don't keep going, then one day, I will have to figure out what I want to suck on. My cigarette or my oxygen. Or I could blow up my face with both.

    THIS is amazing @madturtle! I am so very happy for you. I am only (almost) 3 months quit and a year of being smoke free seems so very far away, but I notice that when I try to focus on the long term I get really anxious, so I am still a day by day and sometimes an hour by hour quitter. I so totally understand how the mind can so easily cause you to want light one up and reminisce. But that will not happen because I can never go through the early mental anguish of quitting ever again. Once again, congratulations and I hope that you are so very proud of yourself! 🤗
