NOPE!

NOPE

NOPE!

Thank you all for welcoming me. It is so good to have this place to come to whenever and whatever. I think I will go to the nope place and give a big fat NOPE!

Thank you both for responding. Aine, You described it very closely. I guess sometimes when I feel overwhelmed with it, I just get scared. And THAT scares me. The thoughts have passed for now and knowing they do pass is what keeps me going. It definitely is like grief. I play solitaire on the computer to do something with my hands. Today, new symptom, my hands are shaking. Just walked the dog and that helps a bit. I am female by the way. Jillar, I keep telling myself that it is still very early in my quit and it was 50 years of it. Congratulations to you both on your years of quitting. Another symptom in this early stage is just plain confusion and things seeming surreal.

Hello all, After 50 years of bondage to cigarettes I quit on 2/25/2019. It has gotten easier in many ways BUT the obsession still comes to just go smoke. I feel like I am forgetting to do something all the time and must remind myself that it is a good thing. It is so much more than physical withdrawal. The worst thoughts come when I get depressed (I suffer from depression and high anxiety chronically) and since I used to smoke to get the sad thoughts to minimize and do not smoke now, I have feelings of just ending it. I am a senior and live alone with my dog. I know logically these are just thoughts but they can be painful. Any one else get like this?
