Hi Guys, Had a bad week, but today surprisingly although weekend feeling better... Still dont feel ready to go out drinking yet as associate drinking with smoking... Been hammering the gym and sticking with patches witch seems to work for me... Good luck to everyone and keep going, it will be worth it in the end.. Karen xx

Well Done.

I didnt give up the drink! I faced each trigger head on so carried on having a drink over the weekend, it was the first time I discovered that the craving does only last a very short time and I rode a few cravings that first weekend. It gets easier and easier.

I wish I could fight the craving of wanting cakes and biscuits!!!

Dont worry about cakes and bickies u can work them off Not like ciggies

Hi Karen

Almost 3 weeks that's great well done you glad you're feeling better after a bad week

Hi nogarD

Why don't you try fresh fruit and raw veggies sliced up instead of cakes and biscuits works just as well when you get the munchies

Love to you both
