I can't seem to be alone. I quit smoking last week for three days, and by day three I crashed so hard into depression I started smoking again. The next day, I decided to quit again and I've now not had a cigarette for a week, and except for some irritability, I've been fairly stable. Until today. Due to the Easter weekend, my wife was home from work the past four days. Today she went back to work, and it seems like as soon as she is gone, depression sinks it's claws into me again. Maybe I've been depressed all along and was just distracted with her home, or maybe I'm just really bad at handling being alone right now, I don't know.

Hi!
Are you using any patches or nicotine replacement, it is hard to quit otherwise. I would think about making a plan for when you are alone so that you have some structure to your day. So for example at 10am go for a short walk, at 11am listen to some music etc, you'll then feel you have accomplished something and have something to tell your wife when she comes back. Hugs

I'm actually using a combination of the patch and lozenges. I might look at a walk a little later if it decides to warm up at all.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
