GOODBYE HELL WEEK!


15 years ago 0 2606 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0

Featherdancer, great job on getting through hell week and congrats on beating that craving! Now your onto heck week, it’s called ‘heck week; because the withdrawal symptoms and cravings are not as severe as they are during ‘hell week’ (the first week).

However, during this second week you might feel ‘tired of fighting’ the withdrawal symptoms and cravings. It’s important for you to measure the difference between feeling tired of fighting withdrawal symptoms, and their actual level of severity. After you set your quit date we begin to have you fill out your Cravings Diary. Your Cravings Diary (located in your Glove Compartment), has been designed to allow you to actually see how your withdrawal symptoms and cravings decrease.
 
Keep up the great work, stay strong!

Well, I made it through Hell Week which is nothing short of a miracle to me. I used to rip the filters off of American Spirit Ultra Lights  - ick! Yesterday was by far the worst day for cravings and I nearly gave in but didn't. It is nice to go onto my porch now where I used to smoke and see plants growing in the place where there used to be ashtrays - and although I had a wicked cough yesterday, it seems to be faded today. I am happy to have 8 days of smobriety!!
