Mack this is my first try at giving up too, and the things that you may feel daily are weird and sometimes unexplainable. Your mood may be up & down & all over the place I expect - mine has been, (ever so teary for a couple of days for no reason at all - strange!) my concentration is all over the place too - BUT!! try and tell yourself that whatever you feel like (that is not a happy feeling) is down to stopping - and stopping ONLY!

It's to be expected and it will get better! I still don't know when cause I'm still only on Day 11 but I do know I feel a hell of a lot better and much more in control now than I did on Day 3 - you will do too! Hang in there! It's a rollercoaster but when you finally get off it - we'll be elated!! Ride it out with everyone on here! We're all on the same one, just at different peaks and descents!!

Loads of luck!

P.S. it does feel nice to be in a position to give advice and offer support - you could do that now if it helps you! You are way past day 1 after all!

Well done Mack. I'm on patches and puffer (I only used this as a last resort and not often) and it does get easier.

Wow Sue! I just saw how many fags you haven't smoked in 1 week 1 day:eek:

Thats amazing - I thought I was probably one of the heaviest smokers on here - but you beat me hands down!

That just makes your progress all the more remarkable - really well done. That has given me a big boost - if you can do it so can I.
