Hi All,

It's day 21 and I really do feel so much better! The anger, anxiety, fear and twitching have gone! I feel human at last....so my point to anyone who is on less days than me is....the evil emotions DO subside and all you are left with is a proud non smoking person.

I love my softer,and much clearer skin by the way.....people have been asking me all week what I have different to myself and all I tell them is that I have stopped destroying myself with Malborough Menthol!

Lots of love to you all......just keep going.

Thanks guys. I know it sounds wierd but I was going through my drawer at work totay and found an old lighter. I looked at it, my mind processed what it was used for and then without a second thought I threw it away! Definitely progress.

Thanks for your support.

Clarebear,

Just thought i'd quote your day 16 post to further demonstrate how much better you are feeling now..

So....day 16 and all isn't well. i had my first proper craving for a cigarette last night and boy was I in a s**t mood!

Emotional symptoms experienced so far:

1. Anger - I have to stop driving sometimes because I am close to murdering other drivers.

2. Frustration - Sometimes I feel my head will implode.

3. Fear - Afraid of never smoking agin...WHAT WILL I DO!!!!!!

4. Loneliness - I have lost a friend that was with me through thick and thin.

5. Resentment - I hate all the smokers I see who are having a fag outside my office - how come they get to have one and I don't???

6. Depression - Feeling very lost and down....wondering whether I will ever be able to have a life without any of these awful syptoms.

Physical Syptoms so far:

1. Cannot sit still.

2. Cannot concentrate.

3. Crying

4. Eating more chocolate - although exercising alot more.

Anyway, I have just watched the 1 hour Allen Carr DVD and have learned more about the nicotine trap.....so interesting and all that was explained was very true.

I'm so glad I am a non smoker and I am so glad I have just started day 16.

As you can see Clare, in just 5 days you have experienced a dramatic upturn in how you feel.

Great eh!

Great news Clarebear. Day 21 was my day of finally feeling like a normal-ish person again. It's hard to believe the DEMONIC POSSESSIONS do go, but they do. At Day 21 I definately stopped fidgetting, playing with my hair (all the boys must have thought I fancied them on reflection), and generally acting like a complete weirdo.
