Well, day 2. I can't deny it's crossed my mind to have a fag but it's all just visualising myself having one rather than craving one. The patches have been great so far in that respect. I had to wait around today with nothing to do for two hours and that, by far, was the worst part. The temptation was there - just for something to do. I found a nice place to sit and read a book. I can see that the real problem is going to be the 'action' element of smoking rather than a physical urge. I might take up knitting!
Day 2 and I am ok.: Well, day 2. I can't deny... - No Smoking Day
Day 2 and I am ok.
Well done you............
I have taken up walking the dog.........lol It used to be left up to the kids. The poor dog is shattered but it's keeping me off the dreaded fags

day 2
Hi Katie,
Good for you, day 2 complete already
I read a lot on whyquit.com in my early days. It really reinforced for me that it may be tough but I was definately doing the right thing & would manage it come what may.
I have to say that today for some reason I felt like a could have had a fag.
It wasn't a craving & not strong, just felt like I could have. I didn't I am very pleased to say. Topped up on loads of water instead
Day 3 tomorrow then the nicotine should be out of your system
Wish you luck, you'll be fine.
Love Gaynor xxx
Well done Katie
Glad you've made it through day 2, here's to Day 3 - just not smoking for now, keep this at the forefront.
Strange you should mention the unexpected free time, hardest thing I'm felt I had to learn to do was sit still for 10 mins, perfect cig time, then I remembered all those rushed fags because I didn't have time, just to feed the nicotine and bare the 10 mins with a smile.
Thank you!
ki katie,
i think thats what makes this forum so such a sucess. You got something to do with your hands by typing and thinking about what your typing takes your mind of smoking,
double winner - good luck today!
