Getting the cravings again (want a ciggie)

[lifesteeth]

I posted on here a few months ago regarding my low mood and how it had contributed to me wanting a cigerette after 7 years without them.

Well I'm feeling like that again.

I feel like everything is getting too much.

My son is being constantly bullied at school, my youngest son is being constantly naughty at school, I'm skint, my credit card balance is creeping higher and higher each month, I can't find a job, the voluntary work placement I am on is a big piss-take, I'm trying to deal with having 3 different "jobs" in a week whilst dealing with social anxiety which is a nightmare, I desperately need to move house but can't do so until I start work (brings us back to me not being able to find work) and my "partner" is seems to have the mental age of a 10 year old.

How much is a pack of 10 now anyway?

Don't do it. Please don't do it.

All it will do is cost you money, and make you ill.

I've just spent 2.5 hours in an oncology unit with dh, please don't do it.

A pack of ten is about £3.00.

Poor you, you are having a very stressful time I feel for you. I gave up for 18 months and last year had a huge family argurment and started smoking again, just to see me through this torrid time I told myslef. But I am still smoking now.

You can't afford it, it's bad for you so don't do it!

sorry abotu your probs but a cfag wont help
and EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

you will SMELL

Hi Lifesteeth

I have reached week 6 of quitting so 7 years to me sounds amazingly astounding. It sounds like you have so much on your plate right now, try and stick it out and BE GOOD TO YOURSELF. I'm not helping I know but just wanted to say I am in awe of your achievement and keeping this active until someone else can come and give their help.

7 Years - incredible

You know that if you have one now, you will probably very quickly become a full-time smoker again, and you might never be able to stop.

Try to put yourself in your own shoes, six months down the line, having started smoking again. What would you say to yourself now (if you see what I mean)?

I'm sorry that you're dealing with all these problems, but smoking won't make any of your problems go away. You'll just be adding self-loathing to the list.
