There are good days and bad, but as time goes on the bad days become fewer and good days become more frequent!

This is still the tough, bit so expect it to be tricky but know that once you have gone through it there is no need to ever re-visit it. You have done so well already by getting to day 3, now all you need to do is keep choosing not to smoke.

It will get so much easier and soon, but until then keep focused and stay strong.

Post often and let us know how you are doing throughout the day, posting can provide the distraction you need sometimes.

If at any point you feel that you are going to fail then post and wait until at least 4 replies have been posted before you make that decision to light up.

Smoking is a choice, a concious decision to so something (i.e. put one to put one in your mouth and light it) rather than doing nothing so jut keep not doing it!!

Best wishes.

Nic

Hi Babes

Day three can be hard because the last of the nicotine is leaving the body and is fighting to stay dont let it win. it will get better really soon honest then you feel light as a feather. You keep strong you dont want to do day one/two again take it hour by hour if need be. xxxxx

Denise, u r doing really well - day 3 is amazing. Just take it one day at a time. Find something to do - go for a walk, go for a drive, do some washing - anything to get ur mind off fags!!

If all else fails then post on here, coz there are people here who are feeling the same way as you.

Put it this way hun, think about all the poison u r pumping into ur lungs if u go back to smoking - it's not worth thinking about is it?

Hey Denise, hang in there buddy!!

I had a restless night too, so I can sympathise. I just keep thinking about how pleased we're going to be to get to Day 4.

Try and keep busy, do anything you can... the minutes will pass, then the hours... it's hard, but it WILL be worth it.

It will get better honest. Just take it slow and you will be so proud when you come out the other side and the first few bad days are done. xxxxx

day 3 for me too

Hi Denise

Well done- today is day 3 for me too. I found it really hard last night. I couldnt concentrate on anything I was watching on TV. I felt really anxious and fidgety all night and I nearly caved in about 5 times but I decided I couldnt be that cruel on my body. Am using some NRT but still very hard. I just have to keep deep breathing. Please keep on going and I will too x

Hi Denise

well done on getting this far.

You've probably read it already - but try having a drink of water every time you have a craving - water helps in so many ways (as long as you don't overdo it).

Try also the thread by Catwoman in the Tips section, about the Nicodemon.

Stick with it - if I can do it, anyone can.

Hi Joanne and welcome - well done making the best decision of your life!

Cheers,

Jim

I agree with all but the water thing the first week i drank 8 glasses a water a day but just went away after that .I drink 2 a day now....
