Today is not going so well. I'm really craving. I haven't done anything about it, but... I honestly thought that once the physical cravings were gone that I'd be home free. I suppose I was really stupid to think that.

I'm sorry you're going through this. This too shall pass. George Harrison. Smart man. Died from tobacco products. Very Sad. Find something else to think about. Redirect your thoughts every time you think about smoking. It helps.

I have to get a pic of it...

Oh wow.

Well hello there! Have I told you that I have a Deathly Hallows tattoo?

Can we do GIF's here?

My cravings today aren't (so far) as bad as they were yesterday. My normal routine would be wake up, go outside to have a puff. Make coffee, then have another puff. Go to work,drive and have three on my way. I have an hour long commute. It seems to me I liked to smoke during transitional times. I've got to get out of that mindset. I am very nearly at the 72 hour mark.

Hi there Rob! I am in day 2 of my quit, and I hear you. I'm sorry that you're going through this but you CAN do this. Do some deep breathing, drink a glass of cold water, time your cravings (they shouldn't last long) and remind yourself, this side of thirty smoke free is a lot better than the other side of 30 still smoking.

I really wanted to thank everyone. I have not had one puff since around 4:15 on January 15th. So I am just over my 48 hour mark. I am eagerly anticipating the 72 hour mark if that is when I will start having the craving monster go down a little.

Thanks everyone, and Maryland for the video's. I would just love to be able to get through a day without 347 cravings.

NOPE.

I'm just having a bad day I think. Sometimes there are moments where I say I can do this. And really mean it. Other times I do want to go buy a pack. I won't. I have a goal but still... the thoughts are there.

On January 21st, 2005, my father at age 47 died of small cell cancer. He got lung cancer from smoking. I was about to turn 25 that year and get married. I knew then that I should quit. Here's the thing. I like smoking. I miss smoking. I want to get in my car, go to the store and pick up a pack. But, I don't want to leave my eight year old daughter alone in the future like I was left alone. At this point in time, that is the only thing that is keeping me from lighting up. I don't know if it's enough.
