Having a Bad Day - Smoking Cessation Message Board

Today (day 10) sucks! The weather is really nice here today like in the 80's (Texas / and it's been well over 100 for weeks on end). Anyway - I always smoked on the front porch and the weather has drawn me outside today. I sure am wanting one something awful. I have good days and bad days - this is definitely a bad day...urg. I keep toying with the idea that perhaps some day I'll be able to have an innocent cigarette without being addicted. I know it's ridiculous - but to say none EVER again is so scarey to me. I'm still mourning the loss of a dear friend - even though that friend was intending to kill me.

Hey there!

Congrats on going 10 days, you should be proud! I was a smoker for about 10 years, had a few (half hearted) attempts at giving up, but last Feb just decided I'd had enough, couldn't even stand the smell of 'em anyway! So went cold turkey and I'm still smoke free today! *does a liddle dance*

As you go on the cravings will lessen. Have you tried taking your mind off ciggies by using a stress ball, twiddling with a pen etc? I found that herbal relaxants helped too....keep up the good work!
