October 22, 201411 yr I'm processing memories in therapy and this afternoon was hard, painful and emotional. I feel this fag pulling in my mind and I don't correct it I'm toast.Yes it hurts - to go through. Yes I cry. Yes I feel very lonely in my pain. But cigarettes won't solve the problem, it only CREATES a PROBLEM.So I choose NOT to smoke. I am stronger that cancerstick. Life already hurts, emotionally don't need an asthma attack only to satisfy my urge to smoke. I CHOOSE NOT TO SMOKE, RIGHT NOW. (but encouraging is welcome)
October 22, 201411 yr Don't smoke. Its the clever thing to do. I've been through a few problems myself and chose not to smoke. You're better for it in the long run
October 22, 201411 yr That's right Evelyn, smoking just makes everything a whole lot worse... Life is already hard enough, so no need to make it even harder with money and extra health problems on top... One day, you will look back and realise how strong you are being at this moment in your life. You are beating cigarettes, and that is a big deal - take a look at your quite dare of 11th September to see just how far you have come... There's no going back for you now, because smoking sucks! Tomorrow will be a better day ;)
October 22, 201411 yr You are taking back control Evelyn and what a great choice you are making NOPE just for today and repeat well done hun xxx

October 22, 201411 yr You are doing so well - a craving is never a command, you just need to tell your cravings to shut up (I know, sometimes easier said than done). We will be here for you this evening; stay close to us for as long as you need to :)

October 22, 201411 yr Hang in there - you will get through this -we all have demons but all of us here also have incredible victories as well - we are all non-smokers now. We said no to the crave and decided to live a life of NOPE! I am very happy that you came to the board - there will always be someone here for you. Remember the old ad on tv Say No then go and tell someone you can trust - well this board works in the same fashion - say no to the crave then come here and confide as to what is goin gon and we can get you through it. Stay Strong E!
