WOW! THE MOTHER OF ALL CRAVINGS THIS MORNING

Featherdancer,

First off 11 days is awesome! Something I did when I quit, was give up the coffee, I think I went 4 months without a cup of joe. I just related coffee with smoking so strongly that I couldn't risk it. Now I can have a cup and I am fine, I might have just a small craving sneak in, but nothing that isn't manageable.

Keep up the quit, your doing great!

Featherdancer,

You are being so strong! Good work! It is normal to feel sad when quitting. Not only because of all the physcial changes your body is going through but also because smoking has been a big part of your life for a long time. Many people have compared it to breaking up with a bad boyfriend. You relied on smoking when you were stressed, loney, hungry etc. Now you have to find new things to replace smoking. It is also important to change your routine since smoking used to be such a big part of your routine. How do you think you could change your morning routine? Instead of the cigarette and coffee...

Any suggestions members?

Good morning Feather....hang in there....your doing awesome!

11 days is such a victory with how you are describing your cravings.

Just remember you are definitely not alone. I'm sitting here having cravings

and withdrawing also.

You just need to keep in the forefront of your mind

of why you want to quit and keep strong. The "nicodemon" will do whatever

it takes to make you break but you are stronger than that. Just keep posting and

wait for replies. It will pass. Has your husband been more supportive?

It feels like an emotional craving - I want to cry because I no longer smoke? When I woke up this morning I had a strange inner dialogue: "Haven't I suffered enough - I deserve a cigarette with my coffee"...this was before I was even really awake! So, here I am having my coffee and deep breathing again - the craving is still here but I am not giving it any power - I am just letting it be. I know it won't last forever...sort of like a crying child.
