Someone come here and beat some Zen into me |
|
Almost 2 weeks w/o smoking...I've done marvelously this time until like the past 2 days. Now I've got the *bugs crawling all over me* crap going on. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to give into temptation...but all the deep-breathing and focusing and all that rubbish I'm doing is NOT WORKING at the mo'. Especially the deep breathing, which is supposed to make you feel all good cos your lungs are healing and all clean and everything... but my lungs are just all "OI!! Wtf is this clean air shite?"
(Heh...my lungs seem to be British...who knew? :D)
So yeah. Handcuffs? Straightjacket?? Anyone?? :mad:

I'm having a similar night, different vice though.
I guess I'd say just put on some music and read a good book, try to take your mind off it. Thats what I'm about to do anyway, we'll see how it goes.

it might help to be "doing" something besides breathing. :)

7. Congratulations on making it this far! |

I've never been through the quitting process, so I don't know what works.
Could you take a walk? (I know -- kids, right?) Change of scenery? Chew gum? Exercise?
Good luck. :hug:

8. I think it rocks you walk through it with DU*** |
|
Do you ever take walks around the neighborhood when you are feeling like you might smoke?
If you can get through this moment and try to redirect into some activity like head to the book store or call a friend. The moment will pass and if you can think of something to move you through it without the nicotine, youll be that much stronger on the other side.

See above re: the coming in waves thing...you're totally right about just making it through this moment. And then the next, and the next...;)
I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggonit... :D
