Gasping, as in gasping for breath - or gasping for a cigarette?

Sorry, but I don't understand your post very well - probably me!

No I can honestly say this time I have not had that feeling,and Ive had lots of stress too.

The last time I gave up I caved at day 5 ,I had that"gasping feeling" I think the difference now is I see cigarettes in a very different way.

I hope you managed to stay smoke free:)

Yes i mind having this the last time also. Er its sort of gasping for a breath and a cig at the same time. TBH i cant really explain it that well lol. This has defo been the worse day yet. I am on the nasal spray and I have patches in the cupboard not sure whether to stick one of them on and see if it helps. Kaz

Come on team mate - you can do it. Keep yourself busy and you will forget about the cravings. I must admit though, I've been having a tough day 2day as well. It's not that I'm thinking about fags - it's just that I can't get over this feeling of loss!!

Keep it up Kaz, you are doing really well :)

On previous quits, I had that feeling - sorry I misunderstood.

The only way I found to deal with it was to keep busy and find something to do.

You can do it, just keep focused and it will soon pass and start to get easier.

Come on kaz

come on kaz, Dont let team kazam down... There might only be three of us but we are quitters for good.. . . remember why we all hate them and dont choke again... I was in town last night and one of the fellas i was with needed to buy some late night fags from one of those kiosks open 24/7. he paid £6.80 for 20 smokes .. what a mug ... I always said that i would quit when fags hit £5 a pack. . . okay so i ran over a bit and it is tough quitting but when your in team kazam you can do anything... Be strong - and you Phil - and believe that this is the great escape ... have a good week - Steve H
