<---Why oh why did they ban these?My Day Two.

[nsd_user663_5388]

I'm living in Wonderland. Nothing has seemed real for the last 20 hours or so. This increase of oxygen to the brain is certainly doing some strange things to me.

In these waking dreams I'm having fits of uncontrollable laughter; two second bursts of happiness; dirty red anger; shivery shakes and above all else the desire to smoke. Been here once before though, many years ago. I fell on day three so I know tomorrow will be my test. Still, if this delerium continues I might not even notice day three.....

I use the patch and find that to be very helpful. Have you though about that?

Hi Nix

Day 2 well done you hang in there

The way you feel at the momnet is normal and will pass fairly quickly

Below is my standard welcome and advice post which I try and give 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

This link is good for the psychological part of quitting

Thanks guys. Have been lurking in the background all afternoon, reading peoples experiences. It has been very helpful so far.

I am on the gum and have just found a little inhalor at the bottom of my drawer from the last time I tried to give up!

Going out with a smoking friend tonight for the first time since giving up. Face the demons head on.

Hope all the other 'day 2ers' are ok. And everyone else giving up, in fact! I'll keep you updated on my progress.

Just wanted to chip in and wish you all the best for your quit. It matters not how you quit, just that you are comfortable with the method and that it works for you.

The very best of luck with your day 3 and indeed your visit to your friends tonight, sometimes, staring the temptation in the face can be therapeutic but don't take any unnecessary risks.

Good luck once again, hope you achieve the success you seek.

It is a bit late to be wishing good luck for tonight, but i hope to hear from you later that it was all good, fingers crossed.

Just a quick update. Went out last night and didn't smoke. Really cannot believe it. Before I'd even left the house I was doubting whether I'd be able to do it. First night in over fifteen years that I've been out and had a drink and not smoked.

I'm a 'day 3er' now. This is where I slipped up last time I tried to give up a few years ago. Feel sure I can make it through today though.

Thanks for everyones words of encouragement.

Update later.

well done you, and how positive you sound, so let me get this right by tomorrow you will already be on the 4-7 days and well on your way to a week, that is fantastic.

Keep up the positive mental attitude, and of course keep posting.

Well done on day 3 and going out!!!! You must feel very proud and determed now!!
