Since around 10 pm on 11/23/07 i have been smoke free, the first 3 days were a little bad but I've made it, not so sure how much more i can take thou :-( does it get any worse after 72 hours ? Also people say drink a lot of cranberry juice but doesn't OJ work just as well or am I wrong ?

Welcome nevinem. :)

The first 5 days are probably the worst, after that it never gets any harder than those first 5 days.

You just have to hang on in there.:)

The time just goes by and before you know it a month has passed, then two months etc...

Keep it up Nev. It is the best xmas pressie that you can give to yourself.:D

Just remember that little nasty chap, Nick O'Tine is gonna try and convince you to stay friends. Scrub him off your Christmas card list and delete his number from your phone.

As our senior ranks say, "it's not going to get any harder than those first days."

and you might even say....

"hmmmm that turkey wasn't as bad as i first imagined...." ;)

Dig deep & keep it up.

don't know about cranberry, I use tomato juice; someone told me that it helps and gave me some scientific backup but I can't remember now what it was they said. Useful aren't I!:o
