Stupid fights.
Stupid PMS.
Stupid hotheadedness of mine.
Stupid traffic jam.
Stupid rude, impatient people.
I gave in. After trying to ‘deal with it’ for a week, I broke down. Went to get my fix. Smoking again. Argh!
Wish there’s a Nicotine Anonymous or something like that. The Quitline thing isn’t really working for me. I prefer to talk to somebody in person instead of calling a 1-800 number. You know, get a ‘nicotine buddy’ or a ‘smoking counselor’ whom I’d be able to call when I’m in a pickle and need somebody to talk me out of buying a cig. This sucks…
It’s hard to kick a habit. But because I never smoked I can’t be much of an expert help to you. ( The advantage of being absolutely talentless is by the way, that one does not have a talent for addictions either).
So unfortunately I have nothing to offer but my sympathies and the promise to keep my fingers crossed for the success of your next efforts. Because I guess you should keep going on trying.
Din, been there. I can imagine how you feel. Hang in there, you’ll succeed!
i believe it’s ok to slip once in a while. hang in there, Din. ayooo, kamu bisaaa!
there will always another try š
Thanks all. I appreciate the encouragement. Just like Melly said, I will try again. Err, after this pack is all gone.
What I did the first couple of weeks after I quit was went home from work and went to sleep. Wasn’t miserable when I was sleeping. And when I was awake and craving something I ate. Sure, I put on some weight but losing weight is easier than quitting smoking.
If you’ve made it this far DON’T give in. Don’t undo the work you’ve done. Eat, screw, work out, sleep, anything, just dont light up.
OK, I don’t have that craving. You know, get up in the morning, need a cigarette type of craving. It’s just… when I ‘m fumin’/pissed off (be it because of the kids, husband, an asshole who tailgates me, or just a bitch who’s nasty on the phone), I need a cig to calm me down. Been able to managed for 40++ days, but things are a bit crazy at the moment (yea… yea… I know, lame-o!).
