I've had a tough day - cranky and sad that I can't smoke......tired.....
eating lots......I know things will get better, and I'll be damned if I smoke again.
Anyone out there have days like these?

Sorry to hear it Mango.

I hear there are going to be tough days. I love our miracle drug, but if only we could erase the memories of how good a smoke felt, eh?

Hang tough my friend, you are doing great. I almost caved myself today, but just as I was walking outside to light up the phone rang. Whew! Saved by the bell!

Yes Deb, I've had days like this.... they will go away, but don't be surprised to have one or two even at nine months.... I know I still have them now and then!

Deb,
Bless your heart!!

I'm so sorry you had a bad day. Yeah, we've all had them after we quit. They're the pits. That's just old nicodemon trying to get to you.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Please don't be sad that you can't smoke. You're really not losing something by quitting smoking. You're gaining your health back, your gaining your freedom back, your gaining a better life for yourself. When you start feeling like you did today, come to this board and read what everyone has been saying. Reread some of your own posts. Post like you did, but really complain about how rotten you are feeling. It does help!!

Okay, now, LucyRoberts, what are you doing with cigarettes still in the house?

If they are gonna be a temptation for you, you've got to get rid of them. Throw them away!! Don't you mess up your quit by thinking you can smoke one. Have I told you what the motto is?.....Smoking is no longer an option!! Now repeat that until you believe it.

Congratulations on not smoking today!!

Aloha Deb!
I had that day yesterday (Friday). It was really bad. I was remembering how I felt when I smoked (of course I was brainwashed and the cig was ruining my health) but anyways. Friday, I really missed it.

Hang in there Deb, we need to keep moving forward. You're doing such an awesome job already of keeping off the nicotine! You go girl!!
