Craves and Triggers

19 років тому 0 +0 / -0 3131

thank you Penitent I got it now,(about time) I'm usually a fast learner... I didn't have a crave going to the gym ,I had a trigger it went away in 3 seconds, I passed in front of the store where I used to buy the cigs. Well glad that's cleared up no more cravings just distant memories.... :)Marie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 104 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,574 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $416 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 13 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 18 [B]Seconds:[/B] 34

i had a goal to stop smoking which i believe i have done yippee i knew it may be tough for a while <6monthish> but eventually i would get to a point that i would put smokin on the shelve forever and not even think about lighting up or ever think about havin a will to resist ever again. I know i sound pretty nieve but i am especially when it comes to fight nicodemon im just a bit concerned that after many many days long long into the future that smoking in some form will haunt me for the rest of my days through my own thoughts triggers or cravings.........................i hacan some one reasure me that it`s not like that and i should carry on with my quit rather than start smoking again as i do not believe i will be able to live my life denying my body a pleasure it once knew and if it keeps reminding me i think i would go insane [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 9 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 341 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �82.8 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 8 [B]Mins:[/B] 43 [B]Seconds:[/B] 11

Cigarettes Not Smoked

In the beginning of my quit I found that my trigger (the memory or thought of smoking) blended in with my crave (the desire to smoke). The reason why is because my coping skills had not be practiced enough and I had not spent enough time doing the new things I had added to my life. I also found that the more I practiced my new life/coping skills and the more active I was in my new activities, the more separated my triggers and craves became. As I continued to be aggressive in my recovery the easier it was to stop a trigger in it's tracks to keep it from become a crave. As I continued to educate myself and unbrainwash myself of this sick addiction, the more the crave left because it became ingrained in my mind how much I TRULY DID NOT WANT a cigarette ever again. If you don't want to smoke, you don't crave it. You may experience a thought/memory/trigger, but you don't want to smoke/crave. It just isn't an option anymore.

Morning Lady, I know you asked for Pen's advice, hope you don't mind if I offer you some help. This is how I deal with my triggers. Maybe you can do this too. Maybe it will help you. Here is how I handle it in my mind: A trigger is the beginning of the process. I look at the trigger for what it is: an experience/feeling of a past memory that correlates to smoking and if we can recognize it, we can take action right away to put in it it's place. If we do not recognize it and put it in it's place, it can over take us by turning into a crave. We have the power to make that choice, to stop it before it gets to that point. If we are run down or we have not been taking care of ourselves, not rewarding ourselves, it can be harder to put the trigger in it's place. Be very good to yourself, recognize your triggers and do something about them before they turn into craves.

mark, No one can promise you anything. Your quit is yours. We can ask each other questions along the way. We can hold each other's hand. But everybody's mind is different. Memories are memories. Kinda like if someone close to you really hurt your feelings and you forgave them. You forgive, but you don't truly forget. A memory is a memory. How you REACT to that memory is up to YOU. No one can tell you how YOU are going to react. They can only tell you how they react.
