thanks guys you will be pleased to hear that i still have not had one and dont plan to. but its bloody hard today i hope tomorrow is better as i dont no if i could do this all again.
im going away tomorrow so hoping that it will keep me busy as for drinking i dont know if i will as i always smoked more when drinking.
i will keep you all posted later tonight as i wont be back on till friday
I'm having problems convincing my own sister that this too shall pass - the 'craves' we hear mentioned are really only the feelings of wanting a cigarette and nothing lasts forever!
Hang on in there, I am going to invent a machine that puts day 1-3 stoppers (cold turkey) into a body that hasn't had a cigarette for 3 weeks! -see if that doesn't give them the push they require!
Seriously, because you are withdrawing from a drug every tiny little thing will be intensified for a while. Keep removing yourself - I personally kept walking round the garden and breathing the fresh air. I understand that not everyone can do that because they are at work/don't have a garden etc.
Just forget about the mundane things for a day or three until you get this over you. Pretty soon you will feel like yourself again and wonder why you ever felt the need to smoke in the first place (hint: because you are addicted to nicotine)
Only just seen your post hope your still with us Babe. this is the worse day you will have it old nic leaving the body. things will be a lot better 2morow. let us know how you are. linda xxx
ok i have made it to day 3 but i really want to smoke today kids playing up and loads of things to do before going away.
need some help i know if i did light one up it would taste awful but thats the only thing putting me off right now.

You are at war with a lethal enemy, the way you feel today is a battle that must be won. There will be many battles like this - eventually you will win the war.
I am in week 6 now and still i have little battles, difference is they become much easier to win!!
The benefits i feel allow me to win battles with greater ease.
