I have only been up 3 hours and have really bad cravings already. I heard day 3 was a tricky one, but i won't cave in. I have just chewed my pen so hard i broke it!
I can't have a cigarette as i threw ashtray, cigarettes lighters/matches everything away last night, when i realised that they were still laying around tempting me!!
I am seeing the nurse tonight so hopefully my cravings will have calmed down by then, otherwise i will be ranting at her (or my kids!) :mad:

Hi, sorry today is been a bit hard for you. Feel free to bite pens, eat loads, rant whatever it takes at the moment is fine. It will get better I promise.
Day three is the one i have dreading! I did set myself up for it by posting yesterday but hey we are still going, if we can just get through today we will be fine Been stuck at work for 16 hours now and the pangs keep coming at me. A guy came in who i know smokes and i nearly gave in and asked him for one. I feel real twitchy today.
Day three! Thats really good! Try and be positive, it is indeed a tricky day and you're nearly halfway through it! Near the begining of my quit I used to take myself to bed as early as I could and read so that the day of triggers would be over!
Beccy your being a trooper today, lord knows today will seem hard going, and yeah you will probably get angry n rant quite a bit too.. you do kinda feel the angry building up and you know its all due to stopping smoking (for now).
Its not a permanent thing though beccy, the angry bit subsides and you will feel alot more in control.
Just get through today and tomorrow and you'll know you are off to a really really good start to being free of the addiction to that horrible drug.. and indeed all the other chemicals and poisons they bound together with it.
Keep going, just get to friday Everything and everyone else who may get in your way will just have to put up with you .. and the moods til then. What matters now is you, and your bid for freedom from the addiction.
Beccy, you are one month behind me, I use Champix to, I gave up on 07/01.
Day three was tough. I had bad cravings, but I thought about them and thought, are they cravings? or is it something I have not had before? instead of giving into the cravings I see them as a healthy option to fags!
Good luck with the rest of the day, I know you can resist, but remeber if you are tempted, you are not gonna get that old buzz you used to get and the ciggis will taste horrible!
Thanks for all your support everyone my resolve was slipping but you've all shown me that i can and i will do it. I have emailed my two smoking colleagues, and told them to tell me to get lost if i ask them for a cigarette this week!!! Have bought a pack of chewing gum, a new selection of pens to chew/break, and some carrot sticks and humous!! That should keep me going!!
You can do it & you will. You will feel a difference each day & this is the worst part. This time next week you will probably be giving me advice your doing good keep going it will be worth it.. so i keep telling myself too
Glad day 3 is nearly over - off to bed soon so those shitty little demons can leave me in peace!! Saw the stop smoking nurse today, by carbon monoxide is down to 3. Not bad for day 3, it was 18 the first time i went to see her. Another month of Champix on prescription, but stilll need to see her every two weeks to ensure it's still working.
Day 4 tomorrow!!! I have made it to over half a week. Feeling very proud of myself but hoping tomorrow isn't as bad as today!
