Day 7 - Cravings and iced water.

Oh what a life i've had. When i started smoking i really didn't expect it to end with hot flushes, an empty aching in my stomach and sipping iced water all day. What a ****ing idiot i was to start smoking in the first place. Still, what's done is done and now i have to fix it.

Anyway, Allen Carr says i'm not to mope around and feel sorry for myself so i won't. i just wish i'd feel a little better that's all. Today is my last day in this room. SO... i'm a approaching something of a milestone here.

7 Days without Nicotine.

That's something for me to consider while i'm sipping my iced water. :p

So the reality is sinking in?

You'll soon feel on top of the world. After all smoking totally abuses your body and now it needs time to heal. The memories go too thank god.

Well done (nothing wrong with a little moan every now and again). A whole week done and dusted, that is really something to feel very proud of. It does get better, I promise and it is soooo worth it.

Do you have any treats planned?

Stay positive, and remember why you are doing this in the first place.

Well done, keep it up.

Thanks for all the kind words. I'm now finished my first week and feeling not too bad if i do say so myself. I got the first decent sleep i've had in a week last night and felt pretty good at the end of day 7.

So all in all, a good nicotine free week. :D
