Sometimes, blood sugar can get low and make you feel crummier (sp?) than you actually feel. Nothing bad can happen to you by quitting smoking. EVERYTHING bad can happen to you if you continue to smoke. Chill out, sweets. You quit smoking ! Reward yourself. Breathe beautiful clean clear breaths.

-3 yay ! S&D !

Quitting smoking gives us the great opportunity for getting to know and understand ourselves. The 'real you' will be revealed and you will be able to act in a truly authentic way when you are free of addiction. By smoking, you are simply indulging the addict, acting like the addict. We all had to re-adjust and find our free selves. This is exciting and rewarding work. For now, just sit with being uncomfortable. It is OK. It will pass. Watch your blood sugar ! Drink fruit juice and cold water. @Paul723 really helped me with this; "We all had to re-adjust and find our free selves. This is exciting and rewarding work."

You will reveal your power with every damn crave you conquer. You are smarter AND stronger than your addiction ! You are NOT as weak as you think you are, this is a lie that your addiction requires to keep you addicted. Break the chains one link, one crave or trigger at a time and reward yourself, these are v. important esp. in the early days. The Significance of Rewards Good you are reading, read until your eyes bleed, sweetie.

I am so glad you are 'loving my cold turkey quit' ! You are gaining so much self-confidence and trust in yourself. I know these attributes will continue to serve you in your life. Expect marvelous, marvelous changes.

We are here to support you but, this support falls on deaf ears until you are serious about quitting. Deadly Serious about quitting. Have you been educating yourself about nicotine addiction ? Watching any of the films ? Looking at any of the links that have been posted for you ? Making the commitment to yourself and standing by it ? All these things are potential tools at your disposal to help you build a successful quit but, they won't work if you don't do the work. You are putting yourself through much more misery by stopping and starting again. Sure, cravings at the beginning can be quite gruesome but, they won't hurt you, they won't kill you like smoking does. Think of the question our friend, Sirius, poses; "The next time a craving plunks down on your face ask yourself, "What price you are willing to pay to own yourself?" This is your life, the quality of your life that you are choosing. The cravings will only get easier and eventually disappear with time. You just have to live through them, there is no magic bullet EXCEPT Your commitment to yourself to NOPE (Not One Puff Ever).

My Cigarette, My Friend You need to study up on nicotine addiction. It will explain A LOT of what you may be going through. It is time to stop 'trying' and make a serious commitment to yourself and stand by it. Time to be responsible to yourself. " I guess tomorrow I need to try again" You can quit NOW and build yourself a successful quit IF you choose. I recommend you choosing well, your LIFE and Freedom are on the line.

Yes, naps ! Also, when craves/triggers pop up think about the concept of H.A.L.T are you Hungry, Angry (Emotional) , Lonesome (Bored), Tired. Sometimes, it is not about cigarettes at all Riffing On H.A.L.T
