Wazz, It sounds like you are making good progress in your quit. Read through the program to learn about triggers and you can make some of your own coping strategies. Try to move your computer out of the room it is in or just rearrange the room. A change of scenery often helps with the triggers. Brenna Bilingual Health Educator

Wazz, Let your fingers do the talking. I started myself a journal in works and I would read a post and talk to myself about it. Looking back and reading some of it now you would think I was half crazy and I was. I whined alot in post on the site too. I didn't find any thing about quitting easy and since I had smoked my entire adult life everything was a trigger. Quitting for me was a learning process. A journey that lead me out from under a smoke screen and into the real world. I am so glad I had this site and these wonderful people to teach me the process. Each day will bring you closer to peace.

All of that is normal, Wazz, and it all passes. The first 3 days are the hardest and you should reward yourself for getting through every one of them. It does get easier and it is worth it, so hang in.

I am doing ok I guess. I have never chewed this much gum. Bit my tongue twice today and my cheek once. Got a head ache and mood swings that are almost funny (to me only) when I stop and think about what I just said or did. Stress ball is getting it usage. Cant stop eating so Im gonna eat more. This site does help because I can talk it threw. I do feel alot of pressure in my head which im sure is natural. Id read more here but its not easy to even stay focused for long enough to do searches, lol. Doing what I can to get by, 4 hrs to go and day 2 is over. Today was by far harder than yesterday. :confuse: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]11/2/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 2 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 44 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $11.88 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 43 [B]Seconds:[/B] 40

Wazz, I got rid of the ash tray, of course. I also had an old inhaler from a previous quit that I used to chew on and breathe through. A straw would work the same. And plenty of ice cold water. I used to take spoonfuls of treats every once in a while, e.g., yogurt, cottage cheese, peanut butter. As everyone else said, after you have sat at your computer a bunch of times without smoking, you will no longer assocate it with smoking.

Wazz, What about rearranging the room? Changing up some of your routines is a good idea anyway but especially where you have the strongest associations with smoking. Maybe move the desk (even a little), clean off the surfaces and the room - get some air fresheners or something to make it feel different. Your sense of smell and taste should be coming back soon so the smell might help a lot. Maybe even moving the light source so the room looks different. Can you print some posts so that you are only on for short periods? If you haven't done the quit workbook, maybe you could print that and work through it somewhere else and limit the time you spend online? You'll get through this and in a few hours you'll have Day 2 under your belt.

Wazz, I'll join in with the excellent long-term quitters on your post here and tell you that each situation you make it through makes you that much stronger than the next. Ice water, peppermints, tootsie roll pops are all things that I used to trying and control the cravings and triggers. Another thing I did was take a lot of really deep breaths. Even to the point of pretending to smoke. Weird I know, but I did. You are doing great. Kick, scream, cry, take a shower, whatever it takes, just don't smoke! Each day gets better and better. You will love spending hours at your computer without smoking!

Tresa is a phenomenal person to have in your cheering section, Wazz! I can only add one thing: after you work with your triggers just a few times, they stop being triggers. Your brain finally gets the message that you don't smoke with that anymore. For instance, driving is a trigger for many people, including me. If you can get through some of your trips without smoking, it will stop being a trigger for you. It's just a matter of un-training the brain.
