Help I’ve relapsed

Please reassure me I can stop tomorrow, I’ve not smoked in years and started recently due to stress.

I’m panicking about early death, lunch cancer and heart disease

I feel awful. I hate the taste, I hate the smell I hate it all. I’m snappy, tired and jumpy. My tongue feel like it’s covered in metal and so on.

From tomorrow no more!! It’s been a couple of weeks now and I already feel ill and run down. Utterly stupid

Yes! You’ve got this. You don’t need to smoke.

What could you do instead today when you’re craving one? Chewing gum? Or something else?

Hi, sorry I’ve have been distracted today. I have the headache from hell. Nausea for hell. Chest feels like sandpaper and the LAST thing I want is a cigarette. Withdrawal is awful!! I have had a cigarette since last night. I’m irritable, emotional and to be honest I can’t believe the ridiculous ups and downs of smoking cigarettes! I will not miss this one bit, I’d forgotten what a slave to them I’d become. Timing everything around the next cigarette, hiding so nobody sees me smoking and so on. I’m disgusted with myself for giving in again.

Thanks you so much for checking up on me unmumsnetty hug. (There goes the emotional rollercoaster again) bloody hell.

How are you doing? I’m about to stop and could do with your advice x

@Goodmum1234 How are you getting on? Today is my first day not smoking after 20 years. It's going OK so far 🤞🤞.

I’m struggling as I’ve been really mentally ill for a while now. I’m in ads and things are massively improving in all areas of my life. A counsellor has suggested to set a date in the bit too distant future when low stress levels will occur. I’m going away for a week in august. I will stop then and for good. There will be no work, depression, weight, family etc to worry about so I can focus on quitting for good. X

Mpsister you’ve got this!!! I’ve quit for years before. I only started because I had a breakdown xxxx
