[nsd_user663_4482]

well my first week upto day 7 was great, then on day 7 i really stuggled with cravings, and today aswel...

maybe its taken my body a little longer for it to realise it has no nicotine!?

i keep having thoughts about the buzz it gave me, how great i felt while i was smoking and i am starting to miss smoking a lot!

is this normal?

Very well done on your first week smoke free. Yes mate what your feeling we all been there but it do get better with time my worse days was 9/10. Stick with it we smoked a long time so its going to take a little time to get over it. But Just think how well your doing.xxxxxxx

[nsd_user663_4177]

Hey Jamie you have done well if its only the last few days you have felt tired. Ive been a slob all week taking a lot of effort to do anything. Im turning into a slob and I am usually always jumping up doing something I even went to bed this afternoon and slept for two hours which is not like me

Im sure you will be full of beans again soon (hope I am too)

[nsd_user663_4437]

U are doing brilliant fellow group member

day eight here too and feeln great dude-think about it-

the buzz- how great u felt wen u wer smokn?!! u wer startn to miss smokn?!!!

noway dude-ther aint no buzz in smokn-i'v thought about how i felt b4 a smoke, while i smokd, and after I smokd-i'v also asked real live smokers to do the same- u IMAGINE all this goodness and if u dont remember the SHI'ITENESS OF SMOKN u mite return to it- its ur inner instinct tryen to trick u back to smokn-dont let it win dude-

u sounded far happier cuttn the wood, gettn fit and liven life at 100 mph-do u want 2 go back 2 the slow lane?

u'v made the right move-notsmokn's the buzz- not smokn makes u feel great- i dont want u to miss bein an exsmoker-cause i know u will-

u'r doin great dude-if its a journey-ur over th hill and headn for the plains-enjoy:cool:

[nsd_user663_4482]

[nsd_user663_4517]

Hello im new here and im on day 8 today.

Its been hard today but i have been using an inhalator.....

Seem to have been plain sailing in the main up to today.

Used to smoke at least 20 a day for the past 15 years....

Anyway glad to see that others are going through the same things.

Looks like this forum could be a great source of strength and encouragment !

Good luck to everyone.

[nsd_user663_3728]

Hi Moff

Welcome to the forum and well done on the decision to quit possibly one of the most important you will ever make and you will be losing nothing but you will regain control of your life and that has to be good

You will find all the help and support you need on here as we all help each other just like a family we are here for you every step of the way cheering the good days and sympathiseing with the bad but the good far outweigh the bad

Read the posts on here you will find a lot of tips and advice and in the signatures of a lot you will find links to other sites just click on them Here are 2 I find very good to start you off whyquit.com and woofmang.com Read, read and then read some more as the more you read and learn about why you smoked and about your addiction the easier your quit will be

Well done on 8 days quit just hang in there

Best Wishes

Marg xx

Hi John and Jamie

Great both of you on day 8 as well Big Hug for each of you

Jamie is the alcohol just since you quit, if so I think you really should cut it back a bit, I'm wondering if you're using it as a substutute maybe, although can't think why you would

Sure to be someone along who can advice on this better than me

Love to you both

Marg xxxxxxx

[nsd_user663_4482]

yeah the alcohol has increased since i quit, ive got to stop drinking because its making me weak to possibly cracking to temptation to smoke!!!!!

well its been 9 days, and it seems to be getting worse, this morning was a good laugh though.i was laughing uncontrollably for 10 minutes! about nothing lol

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

love you lot!

[nsd_user663_4517]

Thanks Guys,

Day 9 today....

At work so should be busy hopefully that will help a bit, yesterday was really tough, i think i get more edgy when im not busy ....

Anyway, one day at a time im sure i can do this.

I have got thru other addictions and still work at those so this is the final hurdle i need to address.

Thanks again all,

moff x

[nsd_user663_4482]

wow this evening now on day 10 has been the hardest and strongest since i quit!!!!

i had to ring a friend up, she reassured me over and over again that it would get easier as time went on!

what a day! so so nearly bought some on day ten, even walked passed the cig counter 3 times kept looking over like it was some sort of oasis!!!!!!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol

[nsd_user663_3728]

Hi Moff

I hope you had a better day today, with being at work, it's always harder at the begimming when you're not busy

Hi Jamie

I'm sorry day 10 has been hard for you, but your friend is quite right it does get easier the longer you're quit

Really pleased you didn't give in and buy some you'd have been so angry with yourself if you had

This is those sneaky little b..........d Nico :eek: Demons having another go at getting you back in their power you've not fed tham for 10 days and they're getting desperate Just hang on in there OK I promise you it really does get so much easier

Love to you both

Hi jamie, well done on getting through a tough day today and not giving in, when we struggling it feels like we never gonna do it, but once the tough bit ends and we have a good day and you are due a good day tommorrow, you will feel so proud that you did it and beat the crave and it will make you feel more determined and confident and each time we face it we get stronger and stronger until the craves get less and less, so today jamie you won and you should be proud, keep strong and you will soon be feeling better, x
