August 19, 201412 yr Tracey As bad as this was for you this post comforts me. It comforts me because I am 7 freakin months quit and there are times that I am ready to get in the car and drive the three miles like I am still in hell week. I often ask myself what the hell is wrong with me and why everyone seems to have these solid quits and I am still fighting with mine this far into it. The thoughts aren't frequent but when they do come, holy crap do they come. I am sorry that you went through this, but I am grateful to you for posting it because as someone about a month behind you it helps to see that I am not the only one.
August 19, 201412 yr DD, I'm glad you feel rest assured xx Bummer when it happens months into a quit but many have reported it to have happened. You're as solid as a rock, can feel it in my bones. Does make you think what is going on repair wise doesn't it though, our internal chemistry I mean. Some say nicowhats his face, others say junkie thinking. I say what is happening really, the body and mind fascinate me.

August 19, 201412 yr Oh trust me I have my claws in. I tackle the thoughts and go over everything that I have done because of the quit. By the time I get through the list I am better. It is just that this even happens that bothers me. I expected it from zero-2 months but 7+ months in... Just knowing that this is "normal" makes it better.

August 19, 201412 yr Tracey, i guess it is not unusual to feel stress in your new surroundings and for this to trigger. All change is stressful, even wonderful change. I remember when you first quit and I think you were caring for another so you could not get out of the house when the cravings came. I think we discussed good meditation videos and you came through to the other side. DD, there were times at six and seven months when I bargained with myself alot, telling myself lies that I could be a social smoker. We are strong women. We are stronger than an evil product. We have worked hard jobs, raised a family, dealt with tragedies, celebrated joys. We have an endless supply of strength.
