Hi Everyone,

Congratulations on your month hurdle! :):)

I felt reaching a month was a bit of an anti climax but kept spurring myself on that it really was one hell of an acheivement - and it is!

Keep going cath, the lousiness will pass. Read some links to reinforce your quit.

Are you CT?

Sorry to hear you are feeling down, I had a lot of that so understand how you feel. I tried to find something to do or exercise if you can, both excellent for helping to lift the spirits up.

Hi,

Thanks for the messages of support guys.

I keep telling myself things can only get better.

Yes Jenny I am now going CT, cause I felt patches were cheating a bit cause I was still getting nicotine, Ive been off patches 10 days now.

Congrats!

Well done! A month is brilliant.

I know how you feel though. I had a load of great really positive days then when I hit the month I was really low. All I can say is that it will pass and you will be able to feel the elation of doing so well. It's a rollercoaster but the good days really do start to outnumber the bad.

Agree that doing some exercise will help. I find just being outdoors even for a walk gives me a lift.

Remember that you only went cold turkey a week ago so that is bound to have an effect too. I have not got to that stage yet as still using the patches but you have been smoke free for a whole month so be proud of yourself.

Failing all that get the chocolate out and a feel good movie. Never fails
