11/05/04 07:56	Tags : None I think today is the first day since I quit 10/26/04 that I have not had a desire for a cigarette (might I mention after 24 years). I was a definite ADDICT. It was actually working a full day without feeling as if I needed that 10:30, 12:00 & 2:30 break. BUT - the tears need to stop now. Even though I'm not having the craving for a smoke the depression does not appear to be diminishing. Spend alot of time in tears now when I am just in the midst of what would be an average discussion. Especially with my spouse around - I feel a sense of neglect, guilt, you mention it and it traveling through my brain. I hope the feelings soon decide to abandon me, I do not want to end up on anti-depressants now that I have quit smoking. NTAP!

11/05/04 08:12	Hello Theffner Believe it or not, the tears will let up. Your quit is still very young but you are doing great. I had more trouble with the tears and sadness than I did with anger. My 11th day I thought the dam had broken. There were lots and lots of tears. It really does get better. I think it is marvelous that you didn't have a desire for a cigarette today. Those days will come more often now. Here is a good thread for you to read. Normal depressive reaction or a real organic depressive episode Take care and keep reading.

11/06/04 07:03	Hi Theffner, I read your post and wanted to let you know that I can so relate to what you are going through. Day 5 of my quit was like that. It was like the flood gates opened or something and I too, couldn't stop crying. I finally just went to bed and cried myself to sleep. Day 6 was easier. However, I still have moments of depression. Today was a bad day for me for some reason. I think it's related to the time of month if you know what I mean. This will be my first battle with that and not smoking. Today was the first time that I actually felt like smoking, but I absolutely refused to give in to the urge. I knew it was just the junkie in me talking and in time the urge did pass. Tonight I'm doing better. It will get easier for you. I'm still pretty new, but I can relate to what you're going through. I'm sure there are other members with more time on their belts that can give you better advice then me. All I can say is stay strong, don't listen to the "junkie" inside your head, and never take another puff!! Take care, Rae :-) I have been quit for 1 Week, 6 Days, 6 hours and 48 minutes (13 days). I have saved $92.97 by not smoking 531 cigarettes. I have saved 1 Day, 20 hours and 15 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 10/23/2004
