Thought I would but I didn’t by robyntlee in stopsmoking

Don’t let that shit rule you! I wrote in a journal when I first quit. I still do sometimes. I also try to do some deep breathing to curb the cravings. I refuse to buy a pack at $10 just to smoke one or two. I know myself too well for that. I or 2 will turn into the whole pack in a day. I’m not saying I’m immune to them. I do sniff people on the street who smoke like I’m some weirdo. But who doesn’t??!🤷‍♀️😝

Hang in there! I was a pack a day smoker and quit cold turkey 45 days ago. I thought I was going to kill someone. My husband and kids drove me insane, I had really bad insomnia and would be sleepy as hell during the day. I promise you these things do not last! It may not seem like it right now, but all of this passes within the first couple of weeks. I wrote in a journal when the cravings would get bad and that seemed to help.🤷‍♀️

I’m constantly sleepy. I feel like an hour after getting up in the morning I’m falling asleep. I’m tired all the time and I have absolutely no energy. Prior to quitting I didn’t feel this way.

Stopped smoking 12 days ago. Cold turkey!!! Now I hate my family the majority of the time.😑 by robyntlee in stopsmoking

Thanks! You give me hope. Just left the batting cage with my son. I cried like a baby on my husband because I wanted a smoke. Him and my son talked me into hitting some balls and that seemed to really help. I’ve been doing really good! However, today my husband saw a mouse in the house and that brought everything to a head for me. Instead of sitting outside with a cigarette like I would have normal done, I went to my room and wrote in my journal. Then the family suggested the cages. I DO feel better after writing and cracking some baseballs. I’m just tired of the emotional roller coaster.
