Hey everyone,

So I’m on day six of quitting smoking. Cold turkey, which I’ve done before successfully (lasted two years and then drunkenly smoked like an idiot) I thought it would be easier by day 6 but holy crap the cravings are hard.

This is my second time quitting and I swear last time was easier (quit for two years). I’m sober now so I think this will last.

But I probably shouldn’t have quit right before my period 😂 I’m so cranky and my hormones are going nuts.

I have mental health issues so I’m a little afraid of quitting putting too much stress on me or throwing me off! But in the long run I know it’s worth it to get this over with and smoking actually makes my symptoms worse.

I’ve made sooo many lists - lists of why I need to stop, lists or what to do when I have a craving, lists of all the good things that have come from smoking so far..

I’ve been exercising, actually eating (I was basically starving myself before, I had zero appetite) and haven’t had a panic attack since I quit (I normally get them every other night).

I know I can do this but any motivation you could send my way is appreciated! Today has been hard and I’ve cried six times (it’s only noon here) but I know I can tough it out!
