Day 3

[nsd_user663_7634]

Mixed emotions today I feel fine about not smoking i think but i can't concentrate on anything.

I have tried to stop before and this is the first time i feel good about not smoking though and i actually have a smile on my face

Hi There

The concentration thing I think is a normal part of the quitting. I can barely concentrate on things, have low energy levels, etc but the other members have advised that it is all part of the quit. I trust them so I'm going with it.

Congratualtions you your day 3 - keep going and keep smiling

Good luck pekkleface, the first 3 days are often the hardest

In my sig there's a link to whyquit, an excellent source of info especially on how to take care of yourself in the beginning of your quit.

My friend described me as a space cadet on the first days of my quit - there apparently was a time elapse as information filtered it's way through my withdrawal anxious brain, it does end, write down your experiences for *shoring* up purposes to keep your quit strong.

At one stage on day 2, I texted my entire phone book asking them to slap me if they ever saw me with a fag in my hands again, I felt so deranged and strung out. It does pass and each day is easier. Each day of not smoking; you're a day further along on the healing journey. Keep going, keep strong and reward yourself for all your hard work.

Congratulations on quitting.
