Hi I'm new to posting on the boards but have been using them for support so thought I better say hello! After many failed attempts at stopping over the last year I am now heading towards my 3rd week (on sunday) and can't quite believe it, particularly in this last week as at times it hasn't crossed my mind, however at the same time it has! although I do not know whats different from times before but I have just not given in to it.
What I am noticing though is that I am slightly light headed at times and feeling tired and a bit flu like but without the flu.....
Anyways this site is a great motivator. Thanks

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 your almost 3 week quit that's great I hope you're proud of yourself
How you're feeling at the moment is absolutely normal and will pass very soon
Post often to let us know how you're getting on, have a moan or a rant, for any reason at all pretty much anything goes on here
Remember we're all here for you whenever you need us
Thanks for that, I think it really helps to have a place like this, OH still smoking and feel although he congrats me he is slightly playing it down (grr) or just not mentioning it (prob because he too wants to stop but has yet to take the plunge) and I need to vent, so here is fab.
By the way Margareth, read your profile comments, you were a long time smoking and have done it, your an inspiration!
Yes this is a great place to be it got me to where I am today a very happy Non Smoker indeed
Your OH will quit when hr's good and ready just as we all do
Come here when ever you need or even if you don't, rant, rave have moan even for a lugh, yes we even have them on here pretty much anything goes here as you've probably already noticed
And yes if I can do it anyone can although I had my fair share of failed quits before this one
Heya Miss Brew! Welcome and great job on your 3rd week! Things get much easier around this time so keep hanging in there!! Hats off to you for 'taking the plunge' while OH is still smoking! Don't be too hard on your OH for playing it down though! Most smokers want to be nonsmokers but 'taking the plunge' is scary and no guy likes to admit that, no?!!! My thoughts are he'll follow you soon Take care!!!
