Day 1

[nsd_user663_5067]

Wow, I think I may loose the plot by the end of the day.

My last cigarette was 8am Monday 10th August.

I am quitting with my boyfriend. He is not craving, I am climbing the walls...

HELP!!!

Hi Butterfly

How are you doing? Are you going cold turkey? I do hope you are still OK!

[nsd_user663_4847]

You can do it

Take it an hour at a time. Read why quit and woof mang, it'll keep you occupied. If reading doesn't keep you from being bored. Do some meaningless jobs like shread old letters.

If that doesn't help come back and post again

Hi Butterfly

Sorry to here you're having a tough time on day 1 take it day by day hour by hour OK that's the best way to get through the forst couple of days

Below is my standard welcome and advice post which I try and send all new members

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

Post often to let us know how you're doing, to rant, rave have a moan whatever you like pretty much anything goes on here OK

Hey

Great, glad its a better day today

Keep it up

[nsd_user663_5067]

Thank you

This is my second attempt at quitting. I lasted 2 months before but then I met my boyfriend and he smoked so I started again....whoops!

We're both giving up together now and it's helping to have each other's support! This forum is also very very helpful

[nsd_user663_4990]

Yep, this forum is a help, it won't answer absolutely everything, but theres alot of folk here just all after the same goal, so you don't feel quite so isolated when trying to quit. (even though theres two of you there, you may both hit a rough day at the same time).
