I flop into week four after a pretty varied week 3. I have no problems not smoking but the fact that I keep thinking "I would really like a cig" is quite tiring

Know what you mean, the physical craving is gone but at the same time everything feels slightly off and that could be made right by a ciggie. Don't give up, keep going it will get easier, thinking of fags less and less. Generally only when alcohol has been consumed now.

Well done for your 3 weeks and keep strong in your fourth. Soon it'll be a month and then......

Hia

Well done for getting to week 4 - nice place to be!

I did what you are doing - tormented myself with the I want one/I don't want scenario. It was awful - so I gave myself a good talking to! I know that sounds silly, but it worked. You have to settle the monster. I told myself that even if someone came around the corner and handed me a load of ciggies I wouldn't smoke them, so why keep worrying about it. I didn't want one, wouldn't have one, so get over it - move on.

All I can say is that it worked for me - might be worth a try!
