As i lay in bed this morning thinking about getting up my thoughts turned to oooh cigarette time...I stubbed my last one out last night at 11.45 and i know the routine is kicking in. That and my bodys need for the posion i haver been feeding it.
So i got up and poured out a nice big bowl of bran flakes and happily munched away. Half way through eating i was then having thoughts of oh i know i'll want a fag after this, what am i going to do, maybe i could stop tomorrow instead, and then oh yeah i need some butter better pop to the garage and could get a pack of ten..
so many thoughts, quite evil really, but i pushed them aside and here i am now on this forum...it works wonders for distracting your mind and writing it all down really helps to understand.
so Day 1 and i am looking forward to the gym later on.
hope everyone is getting on ok !

Keep going! The little devil on your shoulder will get bored soon - if he really starts to bug you just yell very loudly 'P*** Off'... that will scare him and maybe get rid of any personal agitation too!
The first couple of days were a bit weird for me - it was like being in Limbo land... ull be fine x
So the first day of THE REST OF YOUR LIFE HAS FINALLY ARRIVED so good morning I know how you felt this morning looking for an excuse to put it off so well done for not stumbling take note of what others are saying and remember we are all here for should you feel the need take it day by day and post often
NSD quitter myself and know what you mean. I've been kicking my old routine into touch this morning. I actually had breakfast.. not done that for ages which is quite shocking!
11.20 and still going strong. had a few wobbles but thats understandable, i will continue to resist.
Went to tesco earlier and for the first time in years walked straight passed the fag counter without buying anything. And i bought myself a really nice fillet steak to enjoy for lunch today instead hmmmmm lol
gonna have a real good session up the gym later, i try to go 3 times a week anyway but the smoking was definately holding me back and making me more lethargic so i'm raring to go now

Keep strong, and good luck at the gym.

breakfast is so much more enjoyable once you've ditched the fags well done!
Hi Stevie - hope you are still feeling strong?! Have you been to the gym yet? I really hope this is the successful quit for you.
All I can say is what everyone else on this forum says - READ!
As soon as I understood my addiction and what to expect, I found stopping SO much easier.
I have been free from the chains of tobacco for 2 months and my best advice is - Be Patient! It takes time to break a habit and that is all it is after a few days - every situation you face without a ciggie is another chain cut and another nico-demon dead.
Well done for getting past the tobacco counter at Tescos - stick with it, believe me it is SO worth it!
hi, thanks for the continued support..yes went to the gym earlier and rather than struggle through and thinking cant wait to get out of here and have a fag, i was able to go on for longer and lift more weights! whether its psychological at the moment as its only been one day but i feel so much better already.
off out tonight to train my dogs and then back for a bowl of porridge and sleep. i know how to live eh! lol
