Hi m****o.
Good on you for deciding to quit! I'm only on Day Two so you're not far behind me. I would have gone 5 days by now but I was naughty and smoked 10 fags on the 2nd/3rd day of my original quit so I put myself back at Day One yesterday.
I hope you do it this time. You know you can do it, its just sticking to it and riding out the tough times. Know that there are many others here going through it all as well. Always helps to come here and listen to others and also to spur others on.
Wishing you alllllllllllllll the best!
Why are there asterisks in place of the OP's name? :confused:
Thanks for all your messages of support, this is def helping so far!!
And Robert B, im a her not a his!! lol
Oh right, thanks Robert lol I thought it may have been something like that but noticed it was m a n o l o and it kinda threw me. I must've mis-spelled it though replacing the first 'o' with an 'a' :rolleyes: Ahh well, no big deal.
Yeah very good luck with your quit manolo. I know you're going to beat it, aren't you?! 
Help!!!!
suffering bad cravings at the moment (this is the time of day i smoke the most), feel quite angry at the moment about anything i really wanting a tab!! Help!!
wont give into it, only my first day and bound to happen, just got to take deep breaths and try the elastic band technique!!
Hear hear what Mojo said!!
4D's might work.. deep breathe, delay, drink, do someting else!
If that doesn't then come back here, but DON'T SMOKE!! It's very very bad for you! hee hee.. ;).. one more thing that may help... I'm guessing your name is shoe releated.. if so, do you own a pair??!
Yes i do own a pair, but very old style, my treat to myself is to buy a new pair if i stay stopped for 2 months
Don't give in Manolo. On my first day, I felt unreasonably angry and unreasonably tearful too. So many conflicting emotions.
Read up on giving up smoking, read some true life stories and educate yourself. Do you really want to be a slave to nicotine for the rest of your life? No! You don't, so pls don't give up. I'm only on Day Two and I know someone only has to look at me the wrong way and it will waiver my resolve to quit. However, its not going to win, I am. And you're going to win too
Catwoman left a couple of good links...maybe you should check them out too?
I'm reading 'tales from the quit' at the mo (from the first link). It is some guy's diary of his quit and I am finding it very informative. Of course, there are many more sites out there to read up on, just google them.
Good luck
Yes i do own a pair, but very old style, my treat to myself is to buy a new pair if i stay stopped for 2 months
Ah... that's what i was gonna suggest.. a reward for you! Just picture 'em each time you want a smoke.. maybe print a pic out of the pair you want and keep it on you as your "goal" to look at when you're having a horrible craving?? Just a thought!!
Hang in there girl.. you can do this!! 
Please I am intriged - the shoes??? perhaps the boys would like to know too?
Guess they are expensive!
Yeah they are expensive.. and gorgeous! They're the Rolls Royce of shoes.. Manolo Blahnik = shoe god!! Wish I owned a pair! One day!
My craving has now passed and feel ok again, water and deep breathing definately helped!!
Phew!! **wipes brow with back of hand!**
That was a close call.. but you survived!! Next one that comes along.. kick it's ass again!
Wooohooo! Way to go!!
