Can?t put my finger on it...argh!

Hi Roses,

Sorry to hear that. If it was a mini mishap, lets not let one small mis-step slow down the great momentum of 43 days.

Let us know how we can help. What can we take away from it?

Hey Rose!

Try to get your mindset away from missing that ol' "friend"! Nic was NEVER a friend, it was actually your worst enemy disguising itself as a friend!

Whenever I started getting those kind of thoughts, I started getting mad! Mad at that SOB that jerked me around for nearly 40 years!!! I'll never forgive that sucker for what it did to me! That kind of thinking really helped me through that phase! Try writing a letter to "nic" telling it exactly what you think of it! Very therapeutic exercise!

You are doing great, Rose!! Keep on kicking ash!!!

Jim

Hi Roses,

How did last night go? Please share any successes and your experiences.

Can anyone share their experiences at the 40-50 days mark?

I have been missing my cigarettes for the last few days and was searching posts and this is the post that came up. I was surprised that I didn't come up with a whole lot of them. Reading these posts from everyone is helping me get through this evening without smoking. I do find myself feeling lonely and missing my smokes. I am not here alone I just miss them thats all. Not really a crave. Its a very strong longing!! Someone mentioned in there post that things get better at 50 days. I will sure be glad when that 50 days gets here.

Again...thanks for the support and advice everyone!!

I am looking forward to the hills in the rollar coaster smoothing out as each day passes. I have returned to looking at daily rewards right now just to remind myself that I AM DOING THIS!!

Off to enjoy the heat wave I'm in...I couldn't even imagine smoking in this heat...sheesh!

Cheers!

I think what you are feeling is pretty typical as others have stated. I remember being at that point in my quit and feeling so discouraged. It really helped me to know that like everything else it passes in time. While you are waiting try ti distract yourself with as many non-smoking activities as possible. Before you know it two or three days will pass and the feeling will also.

Hey Skates!!!

The nico-demon is one helluva sore loser!!! You've done what it takes to nearly destroy it, but it will still lurk for a while yet! Keep a smile on your face and keep on kicking it's ash every time it tries to pick a fight!!! You ARE doing this!!! Soon enough, it will quit trying to bother you as often and you will be able to enjoy your freedom more and more!

Hey Skates. I remember the roller coaster ride too, and hated it. It was like being in "no man's land" for me. However, like everyone kept telling me, it too shall pass. And it did! I'm so glad I listened to the good folks here and persevered. Hang in there, you're doing great!
