Jacqui,

The members are offering some great words of wisdom. Don't give in! You have come so far, and I am sure that you would feel 10 times worse if you began smoking again.

You can do this, the cravings will pass, and you will be so thankful that you decided to stick with your quit.

We're here to help and support you, you can get through this!

Jacqui,

You are one day closer to never having to feel this way again. You need to take this decision seriously. These cravings will go away whether you smoke or not...it is the smoking that CAUSES the cravings. Smoking will not make them go away, it will only put you back on the vicious merry go round of nicotine addiction. Have a good cry, go to the movies, eat popcorn, ride your bike, take a hot bath, read a nice magazine, go to bed early....in other words, DISTRACT yourself. You are on the upward side of freedom; hang on girl. Smoking is a choice. Please, for your sake and those that love you, choose not to smoke. My thoughts are with you. You can get through without the cigs.

Jacqui, don't give in. You CAN get through this. I had a rough couple of days this week, but I'm feeling better today. It will pass. Do whatever you need to do, just don't smoke. Your stats are amazing! 218 smoke free days, and you've worked hard for every one of them. Lean on us and post and read, post and read...as often as you can for the next day or so.

Cheering you on,

Jan

Jacqui, you know this will go away, go get an ice cube or ... whatever it is you use.. i use ice or frozen juice pops. This crave is NOT going to kill you.... but you know smoking will get you... a little bit at a time..

What keeps me from smoking? Remembering the first 30 to 40 days. I DO NOT want to repeatthose days for anything.

I am NOT strong.. going through those 30 days gives me shivers and I do NOT wnt to do it again. So get that quit back in your head. your reasons, how much better you smell, etc. Dont romance the smokes and the junkie thinking.

Take some deep breaths... look at your skin... see how much better you look.... think of all the wrinkles and smoke lines YOU have NOT put in your skin... YEAH there you go.

Sometimes Jacqui, when we hit a rough patch we need to reach back to those tools that got us quit in the first place. What worked for you then? ice water? hard candies? breathing techniques?

You can get through this! Be strong!

Hi Jacqui

Hopefully you have not given in yet. I had one of those days last Saturday. I almost bought a cigarette

from someone I didn't even know. I stopped and thought about it and continued on walking, knowing that this too shall pass. I don't know if I will ever smoke again. I don't want to for a number of reasons and yet, I do want to for other reasons, not so logical ones of course. I know just for today, I haven't had to smoke. I don't want my quit meter back at zero, I don't want to smell like an ashtray, like all the other smokers I now can smell. I don't want to get any painful, life threatening diseases, just because at the time "it just didn't matter". Try to find reasons for yourself not to pick up, I wish you the best. I know it is hard, but like others say "It is SOOOO worth it!"

Jacqui

You really don't want to be a smoker again that's why you came here and posted, hang tight and ride it out like you did all those other hundreds of craves you must of went thru to get your stats up so high. Good Luck , I'll be pulling for you.
