Day 3 and I feel astonishingly fine! I have been pretty ill the last few days (well actually the last month) but am now on antibiotics and feeling a bit better. Maybe the being ill has helped, although I was (see, past tense
) of those smokers who could smoke through anything from tonsilitis to bronchitis! I am using patches and they are REALLY helping. I have only had a few serious cravings, always after my dinner and the rest have been managable and for the first time in all my times trying to stop, I don't feel like I am being deprived of something. I am sooo happy my motivation is still with me, as many times in the past I have caved in on the first day! I hope I am still feeling this motivated in a weeks time, but I have to say, reading how everyone else is doing is a big help!
Catch up with you all soon!
That's really good to hear! Glad to hear the patches are working and now would be a good time to take up some gentle exercise (if you don't already). You don't have any carbon monoxide in your lungs now so you can breathe deeper! Also, going for a walk or a bike ride is good for taking your mind off any cravings.
