You're are fighting addiction lolou. You can do this. I know its hard but I also know its possible. Take it one day at a time. Its impossible to erase the past. All you can do is determine what you do today. I'm with you. So are the rest of these addicts.

Day 21. 3 weeks since I smoked a cigarette. Everyone is happy. Life moves along like there never was a problem. How false that appearance is. How fragile I feel. I should feel better than I do. But I don't. To want something so badly and know without a doubt that all it has to offer you is a painful death and to still want it is utter insanity. Hence, I am insane. But I'm still quit dammit. I'm still fucking quit.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the support. almost caved last night around 2:30 a.m. but kept thinking of my promise and all of you guys. I got through it and and ready to fight through another day. I thought once the nicotine was gone from my system it would be easier than the last couple of days have been. but i've been reaching out and y'all have helped me through. Hopefully no tears today. I'm a woman, I can admit to that, even on this site right? :)

We're all addicts. There is no shame here. Reaching out and getting help is part of this community. Anything to stay quit. Anything to keep a poison out of your body.

Eventually you'll be helping folks yourself. Keep fighting.

Just remember you are in quit rehab. There are many phases to detoxing. As such, there are many emotions.

You can and must stay the course. Don't plan more than a day. Post roll, keep your word, and repeat if tomorrow comes. You quit daily.

Don't worry about how you feel. Just embrace it. You must be 100% determined not to have any nicotine in your system. That's all. That is the battle.

Soon, as your clean brain begins to rewire, things come into focus. You will love the freedom from nicotine. You will feel out of focus but it is only one of the phases.

It is hard but not impossible. I know from experience. It was so hard, I never want to cave and start day one over. That's why I loved the pain of it. The walk through hell is necessary but if you keep walking, you'll walk out of it.

I promise you that the dark rain clouds will part and you will feel warm sunshine on your entire soul. You will have that day when you look at the journey, take a big breath and feel healed and free!

Just Stay the course. Don't think in the long term of quitting. Think no more than 24 hours at a time.

Embrace the Suck and enjoy the battles. Write, Read, and stay close to the site. You will smile again, you will be truly living life vs. surviving as an addict.

Day 8. Feeling sad. Struggling with everyday life stressors without nicotine is hard. selling my business and want it done. nicotine is pushing hard at me today. Not feeling as strong as other days but I'm not going to cave. I gave my word. I quit dammit.

You got your contacts. Keep them close by. This will pass. For me it was day 6  7 they sucked I'll never forget! Love it now but couldn't say that then!

The early days are rough but things will get better and easier but dont ever stop giving nicotene the finger or she will creep up on you and do her best to get back in your lip!!!!

Stay strong! Stay focused!! Stay QUIT!!!!!

My eyes started squirting an salty watery discharge because it took me back to my first week of being quit. I was so sad during that time. I feel for you.

Now that I am at day 41, you better fight and get through it. You will miss out on how great is is to kick the shit out of this.

Just embrace the suck and fight only for the day at hand. You'll always love being quit over the desire to cave.

Keep stepping forward. Your body is adjusting profoundly. You probably managed so many emotions with nicotine and now that it is gone, your cranium does not know what to do.....yet. It will heal. A new normal is soon to come. Maybe some exercise might help the blahs?

I know what you are going through. Heck, I am a a marathon runner and I had the blahs. They shall pass.
