Really bad craving day

Hi Petruchki,

Sorry I didn't see this till just now. You are still very young in your quit. If you thought that you couldn't handle that situation without smoking than you are probably right and did the right thing. I understand that it is frustrating, especially in the begining..Just remember that if you had gone you may have smoked and that would have been more frustrating....

You can choose to hybornate or choose to get out into the real world, whichever you please. You are in control of your own life and whether or not you light that smoke. Personally every time I denied myself the things that made life worth living I failed quitting smoking. It wasn't until this time around that I just jumped back into life right away and decided to enjoy the things I love and just not light up a smoke, NO MATTER WHAT. There was a feeling inside of pride to be able to do the things that are big no no's in the beginning and still stay quit. It's amazing that we feel like when we go out people are tieing us to a chair putting a smoke in our mouth and lighting it. I wouldn't recommend this when your vulnerable but you'll know when your ready to jump back in to the real world. Just remember you are already 12 days free.

Stay strong Petruchki. Good times ahead.

Pet,

You need to stay strong. think about the reasons why you quit.

and, it is good you didn't go to the bar to have a drink. You need to protect your quit !!!!

Drinking alcohol is a trigger for most people. You are still new to this quit.. stay away from these situations for now.

Eating chocolate is better then smoking !! Come on , hang in there. you can do this !!!

Having a bad craving day. ALmost ready to give up. Was in training class all day and my coworkers asked for me to join them for a drink. Since I was having lots of craving I thought that going to a bar will not be a good idea.
I went home. I am mad that I did not go with them because of the craving. Eating chocolate right now.
Need some hope.

Thanks,
