Had my last fag at 12.00 midnight. So its been 11 hours and 39 mins. Feel okay so far, time is really going slow and so am I. Wierd ? Think i will need to post all day long today to keep me on track !!!

Try not to clock watch too much.

I found the early days of the quit the best thing to do was get busy, busy, busy.

Keeps your mind of the fags (well a bit anyway) and makes the time pass quicker.

I also found I was wishing the time away as well. Don't worry that doesn't last too long.

Stick with it, you'll be so glad you did

Hi, and welcome to the forum! I know what you mean by the first few days going by almost in slow motion. I cleaned the house, rented some good movies, did anything to keep busy. Now, the weeks go by really fast. It does get better. Keep posting and reading!

Hope you are doing okay! Only 15 days ago I was in your position.... it seems time goes so slow and then all of a sudden you look back and it was just a mean trick.... staying busy helps.... I was laughing and laughing about someone's post..... apparently he spend the first 3 days in the shower.... Whatever works!!!! Hang in there!
