Still chugging along

[Jane]

Still smoke frr but who ever said it gets easier is kidding me.

It seems to be getting harder everyday. Grumpy is being kind lol

Don't know if its just missing smoking or cravings but it would be so easy so just say sod it but i wont

Well done Jane … we know it’s hard at the start , the only way it gets easier is time 

The longer you put those cancer sticks 

behind you , the easier it gets .

Reread all on here , keep it fresh in your mind .

Remember why you want to Quit … you will only feel like this once , as long as you don’t smoke 

Stat close here , play games , it does help being active here

Yup, like Doreen said, it gets easier in time.  Trust me, I never thought it would get easier but here I am over 2 years later and I'm telling you that it does.  You just have to stick with it!  Nobody was more grumpy than I was.  I would fight with my whole family because I was so on edge.  The first few months are the hardest.  My recommendation is to come on here every day and do the daily NOPE pledge, it will keep you focused!

 

You can do this Jane!

Yeah… edgy, brainfoggy, constpated, sad. All that. It’s temporary, we promise!

One of the most difficyult part of the long term quit is keeping our thinking on track. By that I mean not allowing those cravings and memories of smoking occupy our thinking on a regular basis. Sometimes we actually have to force our thoughts to the positives we're experiencing since we've quit. More money in our pockets, freedom from the need to go find a place to smoke every 1/2 hour or so, better health, more energy, more time to enjoy other things in life.

Paying special attention to where your thinking is headed and redirecting that to positive thoughts can make a huge difference in achieving your goal of not only quitting but doing it while being happier about it
