That is so true, some days are just a huge test for us all. Well done though for getting through it.

I copied this from another tread where I had posted it. It may help.

Around the 10 day 2 week mark I thought and that within a few days it would have all gone away and I would be a none smoker. Then a friend said to me it get's worse after 2 weeks and I said you're joking, this was before I joined this forum. Well it did get a bit worse but it did not get any worse after that.

You will suffer anxiety, a wanting feeling but not know what you are wanting. you may get depressed, I felt nervous at times, I felt I didn't know who I was like I was looking in on myself. You problems will be twice as big or at least seem like they are and the answer? have a fag, NO THE PROBLEMS WILL STILL BE THERE AND YOU WILL HAVE TO START DAY ONE ALL OVER AGAIN. Then you have to go through all these feelings again. The feelings you are getting right now will persist a little while longer then they will start to get less and less severe. It takes time and time is a great healer. So stick it out guys I'm now on 50 days and yes these feelings although not as strong are still there and are now so much easier to deal with.

I am not trying to put you off quitting or frighten you as to what's to come, I feel you should know what's ahead. When I was at your stage I did not have this forum to help me, this is why I'm trying to help you.

No matter what do not smoke and you will get there.

I must admit I'm still finding it a bit of a fight at times (I'm on day 13), though I made it through to just after lunch today before I automatically thought about a smoke.....that's a big improvement from lighting one up before I even got out of bed!:eek:

Stick with it ant2rob;)

Not what you're looking for?
