Hi,
I read that this is the place to introduce myself, ask questions and generally find my way around this site...also that my time is limited which has me making lots of typos! LOL
I quit smoking 13 days ago, my second attempt. Last summer I quit, lasted four and a half months...I feel close to caving again now but also determined not to, I imagine lots of you know this contradictory feeling. This is really hard but when the addict in my shuts up for ONE damn second I know it will be worth it. I have smoked for about 46 years, lots of triggers and a life time of associations to over come.
For now my question is, how do I in-put that I already quit? I tried 'my quit plan' as suggested in the sign in directions but to no avail...any help is appreciated.
I would like to hear from others who don't have "cravings" as in urges that last 3-4 minutes but rather who have more what I do which is an almost contant obsession with thoughts of smoking. How do you continue to fight something so constant and exhausting? It was in large part exhaustion from the constantness of this that caused me to cave last time and I would like to learn coping skills to avoid that this time.
I feel like my time is running out...will check back soon and thanks to everyone for being here.
