woke up in shitty mood, thigs around me aren't going to well.
hubby and my girl ended up in a fight for something stupid. This
happened while I watched TV with her, I had finally put my books down
and enjoyed some free time. well it wasn't meant to be.

my USB crashed yesterday out of no where, lost all the school data on
it, menaing some assigments I have to start over again.
group projects don't work out either, I just can't work with people. I
don't fit.I am not a good leader, neither I am a good tem leather and
I suck even more as a friend .

tossed around all night and woke up with the thinking forget all this
quitting shit, forget about people, forget about school... but this
isn't going to happen.

I am just fighting of a low but I decided I stay sobber and I know
smoking would make me feel better but only temporary.
so since a day is to long and I don't know if I can make it through
one more day, I am just not smoking for the next hour.

I hope you're still going strong, Carmen. You need your health to get
through a crisis like that.

All this sounds like normal tobacco withdrawal symptoms.

Is it any wonder why tobacco got so entrenched in the world's populations?

Keep persisting - the suffering will reduce. I don't know if the
suffering will ever go away, but for most of us, it sooner or later fades
down to reasonably tolerable levels.

Meanwhile, a pile of other benefits - health, social, financial - start
to kick in. All things considered, you do end up better off.

Stick with it, and trust that it will get better.

Cheers
David

I'm sorry your day is going so wrong. Bear here is pretty upset about
this too. I will have to keep an eye on him. You know what happens!
I'm glad you haven't smoked. We are constantly tested in our resolve
and this seems like a big test for you. I'm guessing an A.

thanks Karen,
no my day didn't get better, but hey than I am moody anyway but I
didn't smoke.
I thought of you and what we always said, if I don;t smoke you can't
smoke. so I didn't therefore you have to keep your quit. I am
following you this time.

Please tell Bear I didn't smoke, I am trying to pull out and will try
to get some free time with Bear now and maybe this will make me feel
better and Bear less grumpy.

For me, the torment was about 9.9 out of 10 for the first couple of
weeks, then about 9.4 for the next few months, slowly down to about 7,
then after a year it dropped to about 4.3.

At the moment, it's annoying, ranging between 1.8 and 4.1, but it's
absolutely nothing like those first few horrible days and weeks. And,
I've got a whole bunch of workarounds.

I can relate to having shitty days. Sometimes, it just happens.
Smoking won't cure your shitty day OR make you feel better. It will
just give you a new problem to handle. Don't do it.
