Howdy guys - well Im on day 25 and not one puff, was feeling good but over the past couple of days have felt quite agitated and anxious, my chest has felt tight, and I feel like im starting to listen to that voice in my head that keeps saying 'your stressed - just have 1, it wont hurt' .
Day 25 and feeling a little on edge - No Smoking Day
Day 25 and feeling a little on edge
oooooo that little devil he is very naughty - yes one would cos it would lead to 2 trust me - if your stressed eat or go shopping it works for me!
He will sit on your shoulder quite a bit but he does go away in the end, did you ever see that advert for adult learning with the little gremlin - well thats what he looks like, and self combusts and dies when you stick 2 fingers up at him and dont have one - honest ask anyone that has seen it - mind its not a pretty sight.
Day 25 is brilliant and soon you can join us in month 2, and thats a lovely room to be in its got sea views and everything, although I believe month 3 is even better.
Keep strong you can do it.

Hi Jade
dont do it...just one cig will turn into another then another and before you know it you would have been smoking another 6 months and procrastinating when you next quit day is. I am on day 9 and must admit I feel pretty crappy - not so much cravings for a cig, but feeling sick as my body detoxes. I am so determined not to have to go through this again....its no turning back for me now. Keep going - they say the first 3 days is the hardest and then it gets easier from there.
Personally for me, I think that cold turkey is the best as you get over all the withdrawls and dependance on nicotine quicker. i know that if I was on patches, the moment the patch comes off I would be looking for a cig.
good luck to you and stay strong - you can do it.

Just wanted to quote this back ya!
We all go through little blips, now and again (i have had more than a few). The main thing is just to put your head down and get through it. It will pass, and you will feel so much stronger for having dealt with it.
We are all behind you, I am sending you loads of PMA, your a fair distance away, but it will get there.
Plan some nice treat for yourself.
Keep posting and reading and keep strong.
Day 9 - how cocky I was
