But STOP overthinking this.

Simply STOP giving those thoughts power.

Interrupt them with a firm "Smoking isn't an option. Ever"

And gear your brain to other things.....more productive things.

Like cleaning out the fridge. Or getting some fresh air. Or learning a new hobby.

I went to the smokers balcony. And the penny dropped... They even admitted it: they smoke and because they're addicted. Not because they LIKE it.

It smelled.. They're jealous at me. and I'm just fackinv hungry so I ate a sandwich

Problem solved

Aside from eating when I'm hungry... What I've been finding helps is counting deep breaths. 10 deep breaths at a time. I've spent half an hour to an hour just closing my eyes and counting my breaths. I don't know why it works for me, but maybe it'll help you too.

Evelyn, as I am a smoker just in the beginnings of quitting as you are, perhaps I can give you some perspective from where you just came from. I gave myself a quit date of today and decided to get involved with this forum. This afternoon, I decided that I could just do it tomorrow and went and bought another pack. Big mistake! I feel even worse now that I have caved. It was hard to delete the QT ticker I had just created hours ago so proudly. Now I'm just going to have to experience the withdrawal symptoms all over again tomorrow. Great. In other words, just keep going and get past it! Know that the baseline you have now for feeling good, which has required heavy cigarette maintenance, will be replaced by another baseline for feeling good. I will be joining you shortly, as the pack is already almost gone. In my nicotine-infused state, I hope you can appreciate that I feel no better than you do, just in a different way. It is a never-ending cycle until you just break it. Tomorrow I am going to feel like absolute hell again, and I'm not looking forward to it. I will be relying on this community heavily in the coming months, and we all support you, Evelyn. Keep on with it. Don't start over. You're going to feel better. Way better!

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
