July 28, 20206 yr 11 days but for some reason this a.m. has been hard. Have some other health issues going on so I am stressing. I know smoking won't help. But that was always my go to.
July 28, 20206 yr Congrats on 11 days of freedom from cigs Linda Smoking was the go to for all of us when we smoked so yeah, I get it. It's hard when that is suddenly gone but you will learn new, healthier ways to deal with stress and you'll be a lot better off and happier once you reach the point when your mind doesn't go straight to having a smoke. Remember your deep breathing to relieve stress and/or get yourself busy doing something, anything to take your mind off things for a bit. Don't worry, you'll get there. Patience and NOPE are key!
July 28, 20206 yr Congratulations, @Linda on your beautiful ELEVEN days of Freedom. You may have good days and then a weird trigger, a random crave will pop up out of nowhere to agitate you. Know what to do ? That's right, NOPE NOPE NOPE your way through. Have some water, some food, some rest. REWARD yourself for wrenching another brain receptor away from nicotine's control. You quit smoking !
July 28, 20206 yr @Linda 11 days is AMAZING. Congratulations!! I hear you about cravings. Sometimes you don't know what in particular triggered them and sometimes you know and it's so silly it makes you laugh right? And some days it doesn't matter because they come all day long. Then suddenly one day the clouds part, the cravings ease up, and it starts becoming easier to stay quit. Im glad you're hanging in there!! You are a warrior!!!
July 28, 20206 yr Sorry to hear that you are stressing Linda. You and I both know that smoking won't help with the stress but it takes a while for our brains to reprogram. Soon you won't even think of smoking when you are in difficult situations. Eleven smoke free days is awesome! Be proud and keep that quit going!! You're doing great!!! 😊
July 28, 20206 yr Sorry you're having health issues Linda and a tough day on top of it. Quitting is the best thing you can do for your health so hang in there, it'll get better. Congratulations on 11 days! 🤗
July 28, 20206 yr Hang tough Linda, Like idontsmoke said, 1 hour ago, idontsmoke said: You are a warrior!!! You can overcome any adversity because you are a warrior. You are also a non smoker now. Be proud of who you are now and fight for your quit. You deserve to be happy and healthy. You got this.
