Am I the only one?

for 15 år siden 0 +0 / -0 363

I also have those thoughts, and I try to dismiss them as fast as they come into my head. I do not ponder the thought, nor entertain the idea, I just immediately try and think of a positive reason for my quitting. The thought goes away about as fast as it came. In my minds eye I picture this horrid little creature around two feet tall on my shoulder, pale, scratched, patchy hair, gross nails, and bloody, leering at me, trying to figure out a way to trick me so I'll feed it. The more I see this thing in my mind over time, the weaker, and thinner it gets. I'm killing it, it is no longer is welcome in my world. It is a demon, but it has no strength, only deceipt and trickery. Be strong Daisy, I'm only on day 35, and it is much better now than it was on 16.

That sure is Nicodemon! You are completely normal for having those thoughts. GUUAT and NOPE! Don't let Nicodemon convince you otherwise.

You need to do some serious thinking on why quitting is important to you. You need to solidify it in your mind. Aside from reading and posting in the forums try keeping a quit journal. Record your thoughts day to day and the reasons why you want to quit.

Members, how do you handle those "Why am I doing this?" feelings? Strategies? Stories?

Please tell me I'm not the only one here who has awful thoughts like: "Why am I doing this? I really love to smoke." Is that nico-demon? I really want to stay smoke-free and objectively I feel really great without smoke and addiction. But this kind of thoughts come to me from time to time. Then I feel like I'm cheating myself. I keep telling myself NOPE, but sometimes I wonder will I be asking myself that question for the rest of my life? Does it ever stop? Am I still be thinking that after a year or two or ten?

Consciously, I know I'm doing the right thing. But I worry if I have that kind of thoughts, maybe I'm not quite determine to hold on?
