Becky, you want a cigarette, that is good to admit. Don't go driving
yourself crazy by arguing with yourself. But try to keep your focus.
Yes you want a cigarette, just one, if you could. But you _KNOW_ you
can't just have 1. One will mean a 2 pack a day addcition again to
you. One will mean you won't know when, if ever, you will muster up
the will and faith to try quit again.

Keep your focus! You really, really _REALLY_ want to be free! 1 = all

Hang in there, cravings will pass, wether you smoke or not.

Becky, it's time to adopt a fundamentalist-Carr approach to your quit.
Lay your hand upon the good book.

This sounds so familiar Becky, you do good for a couple of weeks then you
post a help but take off trying to deal with it on your own. Don't let a
crave no matter how strong it is to undermine your hard work, don't let this
crave build up ontop of work issues and send you on the search for smokes.
Don't let this crave get out of control.

Hoping for the crave to disappear on it's own isn't going to work, work to
beat it down, where is your NRT? your deep breathing? gum? water? your plan?

You should know by now that hoping your craves will POOF! disappear
won't happen. You're expecting unrealistic things to happen and that
won't help your quit and your attitude about it.

Remember that the craves get fewer and farther between and diminish in
intensity and one day WILL be gone, but ONLY if you maintain your
quit.

You CAN do this.

It will pass, as it has passed over the last two weeks. Just don't
dwell on it and let your mind go there. Do something else with your
hands. It will get better

PolarBear

Hoping it will go away leaves you little recourse. Trust in your plan,
trust in your meter, trust in the sure knowledge that "this too shall pass."
Above all else, DO NOT put a shitty deathstick into your mouth, PERIOD.
We have all been in your shoes. You can do this.

Hi Becky,

I hope that you put your plans in gear to prevent relapse. Use all
the tools you have learned to NOT SMOKE. Don't go to the store to get
cigarettes. Don't get a lighter. Don't go to the smoking friend for
a cigarette. Don't put a cigarette in your mouth! NOW...that we got
THAT out of the way...

Just don't smoke, Becky. Sounds simplistic. Sounds...too easy. But,
that is what it takes. It doesn't need to be more complex than
that.

I wonder about these craves that you are experiencing Becky. Are they
NICOTINE withdrawal craves? Had you dropped back on your NRT? Are
you using the NRT as prescribed?

Are these craves anxiety? and a cigarette would provide relief for the
anxiety? I just don't understand how these craves are getting to
you like they do. I KNOW craves can be difficult to contend with,
but, work through it. They seldom last for very long. Sometimes you
just have to work through it. Experience it, work through it...deep
breathe, get up and walk around for a bit...find a distraction...read
here. Post here. Find something that must be done at your job to
keep you away from thoughts of smoking. Anything.

I know you will get through this. Don't focus on the
crave...experience it...work through it...let it go. Then...focus on
the good things about being a non-smoker. And come back here and let
us know how it is going for you. These craves will pass!

So, just out of curiosity, what happened between "18th day will be

a cigarette. More like fleeting thoughts." at 8:22 last night and "im
craving big time here!!" a mere ten hours later? I just don't get it.

The only way to quit is to ride out the crave...chew some gum, altoids or
drink some water. Hang in there, Joy

Yup. It's really important to recognize to identify when you have a hard
time and deal with it head on. Hoping to deal with something isn't the
answer...it's kind of a passive way to face things. Being passive isn't
going to help you quit smoking.
I remember those craves felt ENDLESS...but in reality they only lasted a
minute, sometimes less than that.

Keep up the good work, Becky!

Just get thru today and you'll be good.

Deep breath.

Hugs,
Marvin

So you want a ciggie....don't cave in again, Becky. You'll only hate
yourself if you do. This craving will pass just like all the others
do. Deal with it. With time, the cravings will be less and less
intense....and eventually even non-existant. You just have to suck it
up and get thru them. We all know it's hard to do. I also know
you're one tough lady to be putting yourself thru this bullshit time
after time. Keep this quit going and it'll be the LAST time you'll
have to go thru it. Hopefully work will keep you busy enough to take
your mind off the cigs. Please check in when you get home.

And have you started to think about what brought the crave on? Did
something trigger it? Stress at work? woke up late and you're going to
be late for work? Found a bill that wasn't paid? Got a phone call from
one of your smoke buddies? SOMETHING brings on the crave. It's not
withdrawal. You should be done with that by now. So it's
psychological. If you know what's causing the trigger, you'll be able
to develop some effective strategies to beat it.

Of course you want A cigarette...many of us would enjoy A cigarette
(a lot of us wouldn't at this stage also). It's all the other
cigarettes that follow that first one - as well as the slavery -
that we don't ever want again.

You've probably already killed this crave and and you'll kill every
other one that follows by simply not acting upon them and putting
one foot in front of the other as you march towards total freedom.

Becky! This is just a morning crave and it's way gone now. I pray
you did NOT give in because the more you defeat craves like that, the

A big crave from out of nowhere? Yeah? So what? Big deal. Tell it to fuck
off.
You know exactly what to do: Same thing you've *been* doing for 18 days or
more.
Do not come back here and post about how you had a shitty day at work and
caved in.
That's not acceptable. Not even *close* to being a proper reason.

If it *does* happen, have the decency to make up a fantastic story
supporting your very goddam good reason for smoking. Maybe include a huge,
natural disaster of some sort, time travel, and perhaps pirates. Evil
Leprechauns would be good, too.

Becky,

You just need to breathe for the next minute. That's all. You've been
doing that for over 25 thousand times already. Give us an update as
soon as you can.

I'm still here, and glad that you are too Becky,

Come on, Becky, you can do this.

Think of how pissed off you're gonna be if you give in and have to
reset your meter. Think of how angry you will be if you give in again.

And then ask yourself: I'm stronger than that, aren't I?

Not to mention what a bitch it's going to be trying to come up with
some fantastic telekinesis prod tale to satisfy Jef.'s perverted
tastes. :P (Just kiddin Jef.)

Easy does it, my friend. Deep breaths. This too shall pass. It's the
Nicodemon having death throes. If you can weather 'em, he'll be that
much weaker.

Love

MY goodness! I go to work and come home only to find a long ass thread in
reponse to my craving a shitstick.Thanks so much to everyone for taking the
time to respond,it really means a lot to me!
I am happy to say I have not smoked to day,nor did I come close to it.the
crave did disappear after a short time. I think that stressing out over
money and other things that are unmanageable is got me on edge and wanting a
cigarette to cope with it. Smoking is NOT the answer to anything,it wont put
money in the bank to pay the bills with.(note that I am 84dollars ahead of
what I would be if I had smoked these past 2 1/2 weeks)that is one thing
that motivates me to stay quit. that and the fact that I am sick of fucking
up ,tired of that feeling of failure everytiem I do.I dont smoke,and plan to
keep it that way.

See? There's your lesson. If you don't give into a crave, it
eventually goes away. If you do give into a crave, all you do is set up
the next crave. All you have to do is break out of the
need-feed-need-feed cycle of addiction. It's as simple (and as
difficult) as that.

Be curious. Wonder what it will feel like when that miracle happens,
because it always happens when a person stays smokefree long enough.
There will be that "holy shit, I no longer miss smoking and the
cravings!" moment. Sometimes it's a gradual thing, sometimes it's a
lightning bolt. I wondered how it would feel...and then I found out.
It was, and still is, an awesome feeling. It's a feeling I desire for
every ex-smoker.
