I am hanging in there, not much more then a thread but a thread is better then none.

I think this is one of my biggest eating days. Oh, how I do not want to get near a scale right now.

Day 9 is nearing the end and I am still smoke free.

Thanks to all.

Hey Beckylynn

Day nine was my worst day after day1,2&3. I have not had another like it since.

Just remember like the first 3 days, this one will pass also. I know other people had

really rough days around day 10-13, I remember researching it when i was there.

So, know that you aren't alone and that this day is 1/2 over already, not much to go

before it will be the past just like hell week. Stay strong, I know you can make it thru!

The blues have a definate hold on me today. I am in day 9 and thought it would get better.

I feel like s$%^.

I need to figure out how to get through this. I keep getting these craves and I know it is connected to the depression.

On top of everything else the constipation has set it.

WHAT A DAY!!!!!!!!

HELP!!!!!!!

[color=Blue]I absolutely agree with you Kelly. Pull up a very pleasant memory to replace the unhappy or blue thought. It's helped me on a number of occasions, including going for long walks to clear the cob webs while I do some deep breathing exercises. Trying to keep a positive mental attitude is important, but there are times when we're just hit with the blues and it can be hard to be positive. It's not a fault and we're not bad people for feeling this way it's just part of the quit. And a good cry is cleansing .. it's a great stress reliever for me and I also see it as a river of blues being flushed out of my body :) Life is so good and we just have to search, find and embrace the greatness we are doing for ourselves ! ! So let's crack a smile and think of something wonderful... I KNOW !! WE ARE NON SMOKER'S ! ! ! YAY ! ! !

Thanks Josie. I think it is just a good reminder that this is normal, so we all realize that we are not losing it. I try and think of a really happy memory, one that really had me happy and laughing and concentrate on it. I still cry about once a day as an emotional release, but I also laugh and smile too. Thanks for the information.

Members, Let's face it, withdrawals are no fun! In addition to withdrawing to the toxic chemicals smoking introduced, there are also many changes going on in your body. When you smoked, nicotine triggered the release of neurotransmitters in your brain. These neurotransmitters are responsible for good mood. When you quit, it isn't uncommon for your mood to take a nose dive. This case of the blues is temporary and until it passes, there are a few things you can do: * Exercise as it releases endorphins and these are also conducive to good mood. * Rewarding yourself with something pleasurable. This triggers the same release of neurotransmitters we mentioned. Please feel free to share your experiences and what worked for you! Josie
