Your quit will be filled with one hell of an emotional rollercoaster for a while. I remember a constant stream of euphoric high's and terrible gut-wrenching lows. I think if you think back over the last 40 days you'll find that your cravings and desire to smoke doesn't come nearly as often as it did when you first quit. Hang in there my friend. It's difficult but totally doable.

I know it is so hard sometimes but you have to use your mind and retrain your brain and tell yourself You don't smoke anymore so there isn't anything to feel bad about.....And seriously the more you do that you will believe it!!! Keep your chin up, smile and be proud of what you are doing....Hang in there :-)

Well i know how you feel, today is my 4th week, and man have the last few days have been awful. So im with you in the hard basket, im pretty sure it will get better.

Have you read Allen Carrs book.I found this book incredably helpfull for this particular problem.He helps you to learn how to retrain your Brain when you get craves.
Don't give in,Nicodemon is fighting to get you back now,he feels you slipping away.I had these terrible craves for about 4-5 days almost nonstop,But as I said I got that book and it worked for me.Good Luck,we are all here for you,we all know how rough this particular patch can be.Once you get through it you will be home and dry.

as you may have seen I had a really bad time on Saturday but it is over now and it will be for you soon. All I kept thinking was nothing will be any better if I have a cig infact they will be worse because I will have gone through all this for nothing. Keep strong and it will pass. If you havent got Allen Carrs book get it, it is so inspirational

Hi I dont know if you seen my post yesterday it was called no mans land if you didn't take a look it may help good luck and keep your freedom it will get better I promise. Viv

bfcavender,

You are an inspiration to me. You've been quit 41 days now! I'm just ending day 10, entering day 11 in about 6 hours. You folks are so encouraging. Thanks for posting this. I know that I may face some challenges ahead, and your honesty will help prepare me for them.

You are on the 'other' side. Stay there! It's just not worth going back to the ol' ball and chain... stinky, stinky, bad breath and clothes, ball and chain. Yuk!!

Go get yourself a little reward when you can... whatever that may be, and stay strong!!

Your admirer,

Jason ;)
