You can do it.

I remember my first day on this forum and how crap i felt at the time,i came on here desperately seeking answers and wanting all the news to be good news,what i did find though that there were a few people far more advanced than myself telling me and others how hard things were and they were desperate for a cig.

I found it quite demoralising that i will be still feeling like that even after being quit a few weeks i was wondering can i do it will i get weak?,

Anyway i still kept the dream and i was determined to stop this time,i did keep a diary of my quit and i was reading it today,the worst days for me were day 1-3-5 and 10 after that it got far easier,

Here i am on the last day of month 3 and i can honestly tell you that its been well worth it, i hardly ever think of a cig now my energy level is far higher and i just generally feel great,

So in short guys and gals don't listen to the doom and glooms of this world you find them in all walks of life, if i can do it then there is no doubt you can all do it.:D,

Hear hear! What Phil said.

I agree. Not everyone has pangs for cigarettes months down the line. Some do it seems, and some don't. Don't be negative and assume that we all WILL have pangs because chances are, with the right mindset, we won't.
