I Made It Past Day 1 - Cold Turkey!

I made it past Day 1. I had a couple of strong anxiety urges happen in the morning and in the evening (after I ate a big meal.) But, I managed to relax and divert my attention. I drank plenty of water.

I woke up yesterday morning with thoughts of my 'diversion' (a computer game I found online) instead of cigarettes. That was different for me.

The computer game was a great diversion. Anybody ever checked out gametap.com? I did get a little anxious with the game, and wanted a cig, but I got over it, by walking around my house...stepping away from the computer.

I noticed I got a little depressed towards night time, but it didn't last long, I went to sleep easily. My appetite is FEROCIOUS. I ate too much yesterday...and after I ate, I would always want that cig for a few seconds, then it would pass. I'm aware that I really need to watch my eating during this time...I'm already overweight, and I don't want it to get too far outta control.

My greatest weapon is that I can't get out to buy any cigs...which makes the anxiety go away faster. When you know that you can't get any, no matter what...you tend to get over it pretty quickly.

WELL DONE YOU. I admire tremendously, anyone who quits Cold Turkey. I am on Champix, l just know that l would not have the willpower to do it your way. Well done again, and keep strong.:):):) Let us know how you are doing.
