Well its day 2 ...

[nsd_user663_2873]

Oh by gosh it's only day 2. I awoke this morning feeling fine but within the hour the cravings kicked it. So I've slaped the patch on for the day and toked on my 'plastic tampon' for a while. It's just the need to roll one up. The amount of times over the past 24 hours I've got off my office chair and go to roll a fag are unbelivable! Especially after lunch! Nearly murdered my fella last night and ended up in an enourmous row. (He gave up yestersday too!) Will it ever end? If feel like im 'on the wagon'.

murdered my fella last night

I know the NHS advice is to find something else to occupy you - but I don't think thats what they had in mind:eek:

It will pass Sam - I promise. Just take one day at a time

Welcome sam x x x

Try to keep as busy as possible and treat yourself x x

You're working very hard and deserve to indulge yourself,

Things will get easier and if you can try and be positive about what you're achieving it will help loads x x x x

I do hope you and your hubby are going to go out at the week end to pat yous both on the back

Try fiddling with that stuff we use to put posters up on the wall the TACky stuff

and if an urge is real strong walk out of that room and distract yourself x x

Stay strong x x

xxxxWELL DONE YOU!:cool: You are doing just great. The first few days are the hardest, BUT, I PROMISE, it does get easier. I think sometimes, that the actual act of ( in your case ) rolling one up, in my case taking one out of the packet, putting it in my mouth, picking my lighter up and lighting it, is missed more than actually smoking one. Keep coming on here for support, it will help you no end.:):)

Love Josie XXX

Sam,

When you get cravings,grit your teeth and it will pass....promise

Hi Sam

Well come to day 3 How you doing Good I hope. Let us know. Linda xxxxx

Sam, my partner and I are giving up together too and we're on Day 11 tomorrow.. I have no idea how we've got here without splitting up or killing each other!! I have been a complete physco!!!

Nothing has made any sense and as far as I have been concerned (until late today), there was no point in us staying together anymore cause it's all rubbish and will never work!!! What?!! Ha ha!! How the nico-devil takes hold of ya eh!!? Normally everything seems clear and is fine between us, but the last 10 days have been hell for our relationship! BUT!!!!..

If you can get through this together and keep reassuring each other that the only reason you want to kill each other is cause you want a fag, then you'll come out the other side closer and a lot stronger and able to keep the habit kicked together! That's what we're trying to do and say anyway!! Just thought this might help to know others are in the same position.. keep going!! x
