Im in this gang now!
Day4 for me.
Finding the day times much harder than the evenings. Thats due to the fact Id smoke in the day to punctuate, my evenings are much more busy so hardly bothered to smoke then.
Helps that i can chat on here when the wave takes over.
Woops
:eek:Hi Ophelia,
It's taken me 5 mins to understand what you are saying!
Oh...the day 4 place...I get it now.
Well done, keep on ...all human kind (well, thankfully noone under the age of 10 that I've seen...{though some with a mental age of, shall we say, less than 21}) is here!
Day 14 and on and on for me!
Bill

You could but that would take some careful arranging so as not to look too obvious.
You could even choose your own curly wurly....
Well my usual shopping outfit is my dominatrix one, i find it very useful to have the whips and all, for getting slow people out of the way.
So say hi, if you see me!

I'd try but the gimp mask makes communication difficult...

Oh yes I know who you are now. Do you still go shopping whilst being led on a lead?

Well day five here we go!
Please to say didnt wake up fancying a smoke this morning, so I'm feeling thats progress in itself.
No doubt Ill have a crave over the next hour or so, but I also know that it wont be as bad as yesterday, and if I got through yesterday I can get through today.
All I can say is thank heavens I'm not going out this weekend!
Never thought Id say this, but I'm glad I got a stinky cold. making me less fancy smoking more than ever!!
Not had craves today, thats not to say I could smoke a fag and be safe because i couldn't. Just not had any "God i need fag" moments.
Ok so nearly at a week, but I fear my plans will scuppered. got friends coming over for a drink. they smoke.
Must be strong.
Was hoping to go without booze for a week or so.
Never mind at least I'm staying in so If I get tempted i can come and blog here.
Try and invite a non smoker too to keep you in line (a tough job I know!!)
Do be careful with the alcohol, its how I've made some of my worst decisions!
Well done on the "nearly" week and keep it up.
Cheers
Nic
they smoke....
....Outside, at the coldest wettest time of the year - while you stay in the dry and have another drink/cake/mince pie.
I always find telling people I don't smoke is a great ego boost.... specially when they are freezing and struggling to get a lighter to work in gale force winds!
Not smoking wins from every angle.
Yeh I know. I also know that this is what got me started 8 weeks ago, so need to be double alert.
Think Im at the stage though if I do smoke Id throw up.
OK Ive started drinking, so far so good, not even a crave - how come, thought it would hit as soon as the alcohol touched my lips

It's a commonly held beleif that there is some kind of link between smoking and drinking. There isn't, or the fag would get soggy
Enjoy the evening.
opheilia,. its when you start to see little green men:eek::eek:,..just keep the faith,,and you will be ok,. all the best tony
OK Ive started drinking, so far so good, not even a crave - how come, thought it would hit as soon as the alcohol touched my lips
So how are you today, should I speak quietly!
Did you survive last night, without giving in to the weed?
I do hope so, but you're noticeable by your absence today! Probably just shopping I guess!
Best wishes
Nic

Well done, and congrats on a week.
Glad you had a great night and didn't cave - No one is allowed to cave while I am in such an awesome mood!
Well done, so you have faced the smoking/drinking and won.
What other triggers are there?
Ok so nearly at a week, but I fear my plans will scuppered. got friends coming over for a drink. they smoke.
Must be strong.
Was hoping to go without booze for a week or so.
Never mind at least I'm staying in so If I get tempted i can come and blog here.
How long have you got..???
Quite true Austin, quite true.
I was really meaning what other triggers are there, that she feels she is concerned about facing?
To be honest none. I think having the knowledge that I lasted 5 years, and went through some god awful times without a smoke, kind of gives me strength to face things ahead.
For me drinking prob was the only triggers, wasn't a first thing in the morning or straight after dinner sort of smoker anyway.
What are you implying?
Me..? I'm simply implying that the list of triggers is long and scary and for some people varies on an hourly basis.
I was answering Nic's question generally not specifically 'cos I switch my ESP off on a Friday so couldn't know anything about YOUR other triggers....
If you wish to share them please feel free... 
pleased your still with us. Have a fab weekend. xxx
Day 4 BUT
This is day 4 for me however tonight is I decided to do it cold turkey. I was using the patch and I was thinking that I am still getting what I am addicted to (nicotine). I am afraid of the withdrawals now. I am totally committed to quitting. I have been smoking since for 21 years.
Will my withdrawals be terrible for the next 72 hours?
Hi and welcome to the forum,
The withdrawal varies from person to person, but most find it is fairly easy to weather the storm.
Have some strategies worked out to cope with the craves when they come.
There's some good sites to visit for information...lots on here under 'Tips' also.
Drink lots of water...post on here...lots of folks who are going throuigh the same things will help.
You will get through it, and every day not smoking is a good day for you!
Bill
Hello and welcome to the forum,
Congratulations on getting to day 4 and making the decision to go nicotine free.
Will my withdrawals be terrible for the next 72 hours?
The toughest part of the addiction to beat is the psychological, so being nicotine free is not going to be masses more difficult than not smoking would be anyway. I'm guessing you have still been craving on the patches so its not just the chemical its the delivery method and body's expectation.
A lot of it will be down to your expectation so if you expect it to be really really tough then it will be.
Have a look at these websites for more info and inspiration.

Thank You
Thank you for your support. It feels good to feel that I am not alone is such an important decisions of my life.
Thanks again.
FYI - Ive moved into Week 2 Sub - Forum Now peeps!!!
Moody
I am on Day 2 CT and Day 6 of no smoking and I am really hard to get along with. I don't want to be around people and I don't want to do anything.
I am really being aggressive. I really hope it passes soon before I am a divorced non-smoker.
hiya
I think it gets to us all in different ways.
Have a look around for some helpful hints or tips from others, that may make things a bit easier for you - and if not - it will distract you!!
You may find it useful to start your own thread in the day 2 sub forum, generally other members on day 2 will congregate there, and you can share exactly how you are feeling. also its a good point of reference (your own thread) for all members to leave messages of support for you, even if your not logged on.
