i've got 2 cigs left for 2nite then i'm quiting tommorrow so good luck n i'll be thinking of you (well at least for the 2 minutes i'm not thinking about smoking)
Emma, good luck on your first day. If you think you're having a hard time, let me tell you what happened to me on my first morning of my quit:
It didn't get off to a good start. My two year old son got me out of bed at 5:45 am. He was a little so and so that morning as well and had a massive screaming tantrum lasting pretty much between 7 and 8 o'clock. So I was quite happy to be heading out to work, even if the tantrums had made me very late....
On my way to work, I was going a little bit too fast down the A1 because I was late ( and considering the slushy and icy conditions) when one of my rear tyres blew out. Skidding, smoke coming out of the back end of my car. Zig-zagging accross three lanes of motorway. I managed to pull over to the hard shoulder. I got out to assess the damage.
It was at this point that I remembered that, beacuse the UK is running out of grit, they were not gritting the hard shoulders. After taking about two steps I slipped in the ankle deep slush and ice and fell straight onto my backside and got about 75% of my body covered in muddy, icy slush. Over the course of the next bone chilling 45 minutes (my fingers still aren't warm!) I managed to change my tyre for the spare. However I managed to fall over into the slush about another 3 or four times. Once I lost my footing and one leg went into the drain down the side of the road, above the knee in water that was just above zero. All the while, every lorry that went past showering me with yet more muddy, freezing cold slush.
Bruised, battered and freezing cold I got to work at about 11 o'clock looking like a sodden homeless man taking part in some sort of dirty protest.
Hilarious as everyone found this (and I mean prettymu ch everyone I know, wife included) I have managed to take some strength from this into my quit. I just thought "My first morning quitting smoking and this happens? That just takes the p*ss!".
So however bad you feel the first mornig (and you will feel pretty bad!)..just think that there are other people out there who are going through or who have gone through the exact same thing. You never know, there could even be somebody worse off than you! Just keep sticking with it.....
Good luck for tomorrow Emma, take it a day at a time and those days will soon mount up.
Munter, great first quit day, what a test :eek:, well done for sticking with it.
Read up on lots Emma, they say knowledge is the key. Happy reading
