I'm really struggling at the moment folks! I'm not saying I'm going to start smoking again, just that I'm finding it really difficult right now.
It's still this feeling of something missing that's getting to me. That's what makes me feel depressed. I suppose it's just a natural part of not smoking anymore, but it's not very nice.
However, I will persevere and I WILL NOT GIVE IN!

Hi mate.
You are doing great.
I am a 20+ years smoker in Australia. Have been off for 12 days tomorrow. I am missing the "old flame" at times, but I want control of my life. It is that simple. And smoking has controlled me forever. I am learning new skills, have gained a stone and have not slept for 12 days but hey, this is too important. Hang in there.
Cheers Steve
Hi Pete
Seems like you have the problems during the week in the evenings. Weekends don't seem to bad. It's a case of giving up work and letting your wife support you or find something you like doing after work. Happy Valentines Day.
Hi Steve, thanks for your support.
I agree it's simple to say it, but it's not so easy to do it. Maybe it's easier for some than others?
You're right, it is important, and I will hang in there!
Hi Juneym,
I like the sound of that advice! I can't find anything I like doing after work, so I'll just have to let my wife support me!
Hi Pete. If you review your posts over the last month now, you can see a pattern of one day you are on top of it and feeling really positive about your quit, then the next day is the struggle again. I think it is a case of two steps forward and one back, but you really are not going backwards unless you pick up a smoke again.
No one said this is going to be easy. I am sure you did not smoke for only a month or so, so patience and perserverance is key. Take a step back and reflect on how far you have come. In the early days of your quit, you could see you were climbing the walls. Now, although you still have some bad days, you are much more rational handling it and can sense that the next day has a good chance of being much better. This is because you have experienced it directly and just by anticipating it, it kind of makes it so. As Steve in Australia put it so well, "I want control of my life" and "this is too important". Look at the big picture here and I think you will realize your resolve to do this is getting stronger with every passing day.
We are all in this together and I think you can see now how others have a keen interest in you succeeding. Because if you can do it, then it gives us support to do it ourselves.
Anyway, your message is really positive and helpful for anyone battling this addiction. And we know there are more nicotine addicts than any other drug addicts combined!
A small suggestion. I think it would be cool if you could add some pics. of your family, friends, home etc.. Let us see what you are living for.
O.K. Good to see you are still Smoke Free!

Hey Steve in USA, I love you man!
OK, I'm a bit pissed (drunk) as I've had more than a bottle of red wine this evening. But every time I read your comments you cheer me up no end and make me see sense.
Great idea about the photos, I'll see what I can find this weekend. Keep up the good work yourself, you're doing great too!
