June 27, 201412 yr I'm sitting behind my desk, crying - stopping myself to run downstairs to my smoking neighbour: I went from 40 cigarettes to zero today and I feel like I'm going crazy. Juice relieves it a bit but I'm posting an SOS BEFORE I smoke, instead of coming back later this evening confessing I smoked. Locked myself in with closed curtains --
June 27, 201412 yr Author It's 17:34 PM and I'm my PJ's so I won't rob the store, 2 minutes walk, or go for a 'social' call downstairs. I WILL NOT SMOKE!
June 27, 201412 yr Did you go your exercises that your doctor prescribed yet today? Put in your favorite movie and channel your thoughts to something else.
June 27, 201412 yr hun deep breathes it does suck but you are stronger than the crave tell that bastard to get the hell away from you! It does get better eventually it takes a lot of patience and perseverance which I believe you have.......you are worth quitting smoking and saving yourself from the dangers of smoking....your life is important and sacred ..............you did the right thing coming here .........maybe take a nap until it goes away or maybe take a bath
June 27, 201412 yr Author I think I'll go lay down for a while, have stomach ache! So tired of this day! But I take my phone with me...
June 27, 201412 yr you have been here before Evelyn. You can get through this. Do something to take your mind off of it. I am posting from my phone and it is giving me fits. But I will try to check in with you. You got this ...1 minute at a time
June 27, 201412 yr Evelyn, hang in there!! You can do this! Taking tiny sips of water always helped me.
June 27, 201412 yr You can do it Evelyn! Watch a movie, do some exorcise, take a nap, play a game, listen to music, talk to us... There are so many other things to do which are better than smoking. You've been here before, you know you can do this. We believe in you!!!!
June 27, 201412 yr Author Thanks for standing next to me, I'm going to nap a little caz my tummy hurts. Laying down always works best for me.

June 27, 201412 yr I always suggest eating something good instead. What do you have to eat? I felt like smoking just now so I am having a cup of orange tea.
June 27, 201412 yr (((Evelyn))) Sleeping always helps me. It really does and so I'm glad you can nap. So does eating. I'm sure exercise would too if I'd do it. Hang in there, you never have to go through day 1 again. You are doing it!! Not One Puff Ever No Matter What.
June 27, 201412 yr Hey Evelyn. I hope you are sleeping. These first days are tough, you have beaten them before. You are doing great! Keep on, keeping on!
June 27, 201412 yr hope you are sleeping Evelyn keep going dont give up on your quit now you can do it we know you can do it xx
July 2, 201412 yr Evelyn, I hope that you are ok. Fingers crossed you didn't break your quit, but if you did just check in and start again my lovely. You know, years ago, I read a story about someone quitting and they took to their bed for a couple of weeks, just slept it out, the body going into shock part of it. Sleep might be the best medicine at the moment. Hope that you are ok my lovely xx
July 3, 201412 yr Evelyn, please update us. If you smoked you smoked. If you didn't you didn't. Either way, we want to hear from you.
