It's day 5 for me and I am still going. I'm really quite surprised at myself. I'm looking at giving up from a lot of different angles and one is that it is a challenge, it's like a game that I have to win. Bit worried about the weekend though as that's when I smoke the most but I'm determined not to let me beat me!

The weekend is no different , it just has different routines for you . All you have to do is just not smoke and come Monday you will be on week 2 . You have went 5 days without smoking , dont undo your achievement...cherish your quit and keep it ongoing. Stay determined as you have been and you will do just fine.
Remember the forum doesnt close down at the weekends , so should you need to vent or post then im sure someone will be here to answer .
Worse week almost over. your doing great both of you. Treat yourselfs with something nice the weekend and you will be in week two before you know it.xxxxxxxx
Nice one on reaching 5 days ladies, like chilly said the weekend is no different, just different routines.
You've managed to eliminate smoking from your weekday routine, so you know what to expect come those times when you'd feel the urge to smoke at the weekend. And this time it's only 2 days worth! Once midnight sunday comes around you'll know that can beat one whole week, and you can repeat that over and over until that monkey b'stard becomes just a tiny little *squeak* in the distance...
There may be trouble ahead, but you know you can do it! Steady as you go!
Gotta admit I've been dreading it a bit too but managed OK so far.
Giving my weekend bottle of fine red vino a miss though Feel that may be a bridge too far as I always found the alcohol and cig's to be bussom buddies!
Just popped in for a fag break hahahah. Fine so far - had a few strong cravings but they passed.
Denise well done to you too you, you should be proud of yourself.
Was thinking about having a few wines myself tonight. Spoke to a friend of mine who gave up in September. She said having a drink was the worst part so not sure if I will risk it. Will let you all know later.
My daughter says I have gone all hyper since I stopped smoking lol!
Hope the weekend is going ok. It is the weekends that thought I'd find the toughest - well I've only done one weekend so far, this is my second. I did find last weekend a lot easier than I thought I would and so far today has been fine. I used to smoke about 10-15 ciggies on a Saturday. That thought now repulses me and I'm only on Day 13.
Hang on in there Annie and Biddy - you will get through it easily I know you will!
