April 28, 201412 yr My mind keeps changing its mood with every tick I'm happy and tock I'm sad. My post earlier all perky with an attractive man and now I feel like crying. The first week is hell week. What is this? This is worse. Cravings feel very physical to me you can hold onto and reject physical. This emotional battering is really hard. Just need a hug and a cry now. And I don't know why :(
April 28, 201412 yr Welcome to Heck Week!! It's no walk in the park! I think you are changing your avatar as often as your mood - never before have I seen such rapid changes except for Colleen a few months ago :p You are going to have ups and downs for a few weeks I'm afraid, you just have to embrace them and know that they don't last forever. Try to think of that guys bottom if it helps!!

April 28, 201412 yr ((((((((((sarah))))))))) heres one hug to get you started hang in there keep riding the coaster it gets better one day at a time :D
April 28, 201412 yr Quitting smoking is like a roller coaster...I always say "fasten your seat belt and enjoy the ride"! I had days when I felt full of joy ...and there were days when I wanted to hit somebody :-) It's normal!
April 28, 201412 yr (((Sarah))) All of your pictures are great and I was only teasing you about them :p
April 28, 201412 yr Oh Sarah...... You are going through what so many of us have been through..... When I first quit,I was on here nearly 24 hours a day,angry one minute,crying the next....happy for a short time.... I know it's hard,but it will get better,some days I white knuckled it..... Your doing just fine..... Stay close to the board.... Hugs xxxx
April 28, 201412 yr Oh, Sarah...so very sorry you have to go through this...but many of us had similar experiences. As others have mentioned, quitting is a roller coaster, but you can do this! (and crying is perfectly acceptable!)
April 28, 201412 yr Aww, emotional highs and lows, check, it is absolutely normal. Ride them out sweetie, they are perfectly normal in most quits and if it's how you feel now have a hug ((sarah)). xx
April 28, 201412 yr just keep with it sarah , it will pass and i dont know how serious your relashionship was that y ou had and recently split from, but things will improve on both counts hugs to u x
April 28, 201412 yr Keep pushing forward... get your way through the nastiness and I promise ...the other side is beautiful and sooooo much less stressful. Do some deep breathing... drink alot of water and keep yourself busy. Keep on keepin on...you are doing great. and by the looks of ya... you shouldn't have much of an issue finding someone to hug you.
April 28, 201412 yr Sarah, how you feeling now you're home from work (unless it was a real bad monday)?? You're in my thought's. x
April 28, 201412 yr Welcome to Heck Week! I know it is tough to do, but Laugh! Laugh loud. Laugh at the changing moods. This is your body and mind expelling the poisons. These moods are signs that you are winning. Cry, scream, call me a tw*t, (insert vowel according to mood) You are rockin this. Completely normal and fantastic signs of a fantastic quit. Raaaaaaahhh!
April 28, 201412 yr Author I'm OK. Just feeling a bit down. Tried putting something funny on but it didn't work so watching a nature documentary now. Just had a text from a friend who's coming over to listen to me be grumpy!
April 28, 201412 yr You got some good friends Sarah :) Gentle hugs, some days hey! Be gentle with yourself if needs be, I mean sometimes ice cream is the only answer right. Or wine, that works for some too. xx
April 29, 201412 yr What they said... basically it's pooey and it gets better... but you have to deal with the poo for a while.... It sucks... Sorry.
April 29, 201412 yr Aw Sarah. Big hugs! Hope you're feeling better. Quitting is not fun. In fact, sometimes it's downright miserable. However, nothing compares to how you'll feel later on. Trust me, it's worth it. Every tear, every bit of depression, all the anger... is worth the reward. Just keep on keeping on hun. The freedom you will eventually feel is amazing. ((((((More hugs))))))))
