I haven't posted anything yet cos I've had so many attempts and only lasted a few days (a serial quitter) but this time I have made it a to one week relatively easily.
But this afternoon and all this evening I have been suffering from PMT (grrrrhhgggg!!) and the expected irrational tearyness is getting the better of me. I know that a cigarette won't cure anything so why do I want one so much.
I am sitting it out with the reminder to myself that there is no such thing as one cigarette - just a chain of 20 a day for ever which I have now broken by quiting.
I think I'll go to bed early and hope that tomorrow morning brings with it a brighter mood than today.

Remember "one puff will land you back where you started. Where you started is where you wish were today" A week is awesome!!i66.photobucket.com/albums/...
Just writing my feelings on here has made me feel much better already, I have read a few other threads and the kindness I have seen has calmed me.:cool:
Thanks to all of you already
I stopped smoking 1wk, 23 hours and 39 minutes ago.
If I had still been smoking I would have had 143 disgusting cigerettes by now, ugh! I have collected £31.05 since then which, in comparison to the other things I have gained since stopping, is an insignificant bonus.
Hello Belinda. I am also on day 8 and have had tough moments like you. All I can say is hand on in there and please come and talk to us here when you're struggling x
Hang in there!! I was exactly the same on day 8 but the good people on here and lollipops helped me through. Today is day 12 and I know I still have a way to go but its getting better and better everyday. I no longer wake up groggy, tired and gasping but awake refreshed, alert and I can breathe!!!!
I went through that a few weeks ago. It was the week from hell as if the tension from trying to quit isn't enough!:mad: It soon shall pass and you will feel much better. Don't light up it's not worth it!
Day 24 and proud!
