Its day 3 for me today and am feeling good and positive! Have barely thought about cigarettes today (so far) but am having trouble sleeping, it takes me ages to fall asleep then I wake up a few times in the night!!
Tonight is my regular night out, a few of us gather at a friends house and chat, drink and smoke!! I was debating whether to go or not but have decided I will as I enjoy it and I don't want to be beaten. I won't be drinking as I am driving so just need to stay strong and resist temptation! It will be a real test for me........

I went out but not to a pub, just a friends house!! I couldn't drink anyway as was driving but everyone there was smoking! I was worried beforehand that I might be tempted to have "just the one" but I didn't!!
In fact, the smell alone made me feel slightly nauseous :eek:
Well done on reaching day 3..and going beyond..the foirst three days are the worst for actual withdrawl.... sleeping gets better after a while..I trhink its common to have sleeping problems..I did..
I am on day 24 now..still remember day 3 .. and how it felt to be fighting and winning... keep going..you can do this.
Sleeping is improving and my mouth ulcer is much less painful today!
I can inhale without choking and am not coughing my lungs up in the morning anymore!
I can play and laugh with my children without getting out of breath and my house has never been cleaner!
I no longer have to endure going outside in all weathers for my nicotine fix!
My stats:
Tracy - Free and Healing for Nine Days, 1 Hour and 48 Minutes, while extending my life expectancy 9 Hours, by avoiding the use of 109 nicotine delivery devices that would have cost me £31.48.
