November 7, 20169 yr Hey Doreen!! I'm doing great at the moment. I had a very tough crave last night that lasted almost an hour, but I won! :yahoo: Thanks for checking up. :heart: B) 49 Hours & 55 Minutes!
November 7, 20169 yr Reward yourself as lavishly and as often as you can, Marlene. The Significance of Rewards
November 7, 20169 yr Great job! As our lovely Saz says, make sure you are rewarding yourself with each milestone. Yes, an actual treat as you utterly deserve and will be able to afford nice things. A magazine, a scented candle, a new lipstick - something that is a reward instead of using money to smoke. It will help if you can see benefits too :) x
November 7, 20169 yr Keep going. It does get easier. Even if you have to put your head down and barrel your way through it. Proud of you !!
November 8, 20169 yr Nicotine has pretty much left your body Forever now, Marlene. Craves will get further and further apart while you learn to change your patterns that were all about addiction. The concept of H.A.L.T. (are you Hungry, Angry, Lonesome, Tired) was really helpful to me to understand what my body was really trying to tell me. This thread, Riffing on Halt may be helpful to you and also this one from Babs about H.A.L.T too. I am so happy you have quit.
November 8, 20169 yr Fantastic!! One day at a time. Sometimes one hour or minute at a time. But it does pass. You got this!!!
November 8, 20169 yr Author Marlene..after today your body is nicotine free..what a great thought eh ? No more crap ...this deserves a nice reward...go for it....
