Day3

Hi there,

Well it's now day three for me and I can honestly say that since giving up I haven't one good night's sleep. Each morning I wake up feeling sick and light headed but as the day goes on it seems to pass. So I just wanted you to know that your not alone with how you feel.

I am determined to keep at it as I know that I will reap the rewards in the long run.

Stick to your guns.

Hi every-one.

my head

is saying dont do this

I had those same thoughts, that's the nicotine looking for excuses for you to smoke. It does get better, honest, 17 days for me now.

[nsd_user663_2949]

Hi. I'm on day 9. I realised earlier that i've not really thought about fags today! Up till now it's been pretty much all i could think about. It is the nicotein playing tricks!!!

I have been quit for 1 Week, 2 Days, 22 hours, 46 minutes and 18 seconds (9 days). I have saved £113.41 by not smoking 497 cigarettes. I have saved 1 Day, 17 hours and 25 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 03/03/2008 20:30

day 2 for me is nearly over. when i stop smoking i lack motivation, i feel that part of me is missing. i currently need to wash up put washing on etc but have no motivation to do this.i just want to go to bed. how can i get over this feeling?

You will feel like part of you is missing - I felt like that too.

You have to keep busy honestly, get up and get those dishes done, then sneak off to bed.

I had lots of early nights in the first couple of weeks, better than sitting up torturing yourself!

It will get better, promise, first couple of weeks are the worst.

Just have to grit your teeth and fight it, and with every day you get under your belt it'll spur you on to the next.

Don't think of the long term, just tell yourself that "I won't smoke today",

Before you know it you'll have a week done, that milestone is a real motivator.

Stick with it, you're doing great.

smoking. your right. i think i will go to bed. that way day 3 will be here.

Keep going Alan.

I to am sitting here trying to put it out of my mind.

Very hard at times, but we will not cave.

That's all you can, take it one day at a time - don't look any further than that.

It will get better - promise.

Stay busy, distract yourself, when I was in the house when I had a craving I went and brushed my teeth, they say a craving only actually lasts about 3 mins, so by the time you've run upstairs brushed your teeth then down again your 3 mins is up.

Plus, you never really want a fag straight after.

Cleanest teeth in Belfast me

[nsd_user663_2892]

You are doing great - don't despair,

Take deep breaths of clean fresh air,

Remind yourself the reasons why

You choose to live and not to die........

Sorry, folks, I started replying to your thread and I turned into a wee poem.....how cool is that :eek:

Another reason not to smoke has gone on my list.....my artistic talents have been subdued by nicotine all these years...:confused:

I feel a song coming on now....:rolleyes:

"Oh I can see clearly now the fags have gone

I can see there's really NOTHING in my way

Gone are those bad fags that had me down

It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshining day!"

Tra la la la la

Seriously, stick in there, WE CAN ALL DO THIS!!!!!!
