I've reached day 3

Well I'm still off the fags I am finding that the first hour in the morning is the worst for me. Everyone has been really supportive at work which is a plus and it helps me maintain my positive attitude. I am desperate for a good nights sleep as I've woken up on the hour every hour since giving up but I am not waking up wanting a ciggie so I'm hoping it's just the initial shock to my body.

I am following everyones advise with regards to drinking pleny of water and I am going for a walk even if it is only for 10-20 mins at a time to clear my head and appreciate how much easier it is to breathe.

Well done! I think it's probably just your body gettign used to not having cigs - if you've smoked for a while I guess it must be a shock to it stopping. I didn't have sleepless nights but I got headaches quite a bit. Not anymore though. Keep going - good that your workmates are supportive.
