1st CT - 7 months

Hi Dogrob

You are doing really well. I'm on day 3 of C/T too and although I was feeling positive this morning, I've found this afternoon tougher going.

Just try to keep in mind that with each day passed, it will get easier...well, that's my mantra at the moment.

Day 3 and 4... it was like walking through glue for me. I know exactly what you mean DogRob1973, but you know this bit is your addiction making it difficult for you don't you? Its a drug addiction thats conned you for donkey's years right now its applied different bait to its line to fish you back in, so all you need to do is swim deeper and let the beggar sit on the bank luckless all day.

Remember.. its mind games time, no matter what this thing is chucking at you right now, you ride through it sternly and with absolute conviction to your cause.

if distractions all you need, do what i do sometimes, go on a youtube adventure on the internet.. type something into youtube's search that interests you, or just type some random stuff, and see where your search takes you. you might just find some truly funny stuff, or something that is really interesting.. heck even music vids. Give it a try, youtubes full of good stuff.

Hi Dogrob

Day 3 - well done you! That's really great. Stay focussed on the positives and fight!

You are doing great - keep it up!

Thanks

Thanks guys and girls, have to say the words of support are really helping.

Well I seem ok at the moment and starting to get the hang of the craving, I do 20 press ups every time I fancy a smoke and that generally puts me off. Might try doing some running soon too.

Anyway here's to day 4 free of those stinking cancer sticks, let me know how you get on??

Day 3

The smallest of tasks feels like trying to nail jelly to the ceiling!!! My brain is addled, my coordination shot away, my appetite raging, my nerves frazzled - shall I go on? But .... I dont want to do day one and day two again, let again day 3, so am hoping day 4 will be a brighter one. Preferably with a brain that works.:rolleyes:

[nsd_user663_4990]

Agnas, plan for day 5, 6 and 7 more.

I only really found the first 4 days to be my biggest challenge, but its been worth it ever since.

It would be wrong of me to say day 4 is fine when that day wasn't for me at all.

Get to day 5.. thats my best advice and i hope you get a better day in day 4 than today either way.
