I gotta get in on this too- I am feeling great right now about my quit- day 24- that scares me. I have been reading this site almost constantly since I quit and the most common theme - people cave when they aren't active in quitting. I don't spend much time in the forums during the weekends either but I make sure that I post roll- even when it is a major pain in the ass on my phone-
Now if you are into your 20 something days quit. I think I can weigh in on the cravings and why they are so intense.
When they hit you, you forgot.
They are intense because you forgot.
I know this because I forgot.
STOP THINKING ABOUT THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF BEING QUIT FOREVER!!!!You only quit today and you only need to survive today. The intensity will break soon but understand and don't focus on winning and staying quit tomorrow, a week or making it to the hall.
You won't make it to the hall if you don't focus on today only. Tomorrow will come soon enough but its moot if you don't put your all into quitting today. You will be amazed how much saying you aren't quit forever, only today does for your resolve!
Pace yourself and conserve energy for tomorrow? The strength to last 24 hours will be there regardless how much energy you use today. You will recharge if you win today. The next today you face is the same drill. Only focus and don't forecast tomorrows fight. ONLY TODAY.
Nicotine tricked your brain into becoming addicted. You are tricking your brain back to healthy freedom. It can only be done for today. Fuck tomorrow until tomorrow is today.
This will help you through the funks that come.....You are in a funk right now. Recognize and survive by only worrying about your quit on Today's vs. Tomorrow's.
