normally a monday morning for me would be 4-5 ciggies on the way to work, and last week monday was the day i caved... this week i'm cold turkey and HALF WAY THROUGH!! o did i say that already
lost count of how many cravings i've had, it seems almost continuous at times, but each crave is one step nearer freedom,

Don't know what you are called but you are doing great just because you have decided to look after yourself by not smoking. Most people on this site understand every craving and every thought that you might have about smoking and we are here for you to shout and swear at because it will get harder as the days go on. I beleive that you are doing it the right way by going cold turkey like me, but for some people it is easier with no smoking aids like the patches. But beleive the people on this site when we tell you drink plenty of water to clean out the many toxins in your body, and your body will start to clean your lungs and you will be able to smell and taste things that you had probably forgotten about. Also when you start to think about fags or feel down get out the house and enjoy a good 20 / 30 walk half way through a monday at work! keep up the good work and read the many comments on this site.

Hiya, that is really brilliant. You have obviously got stronger since you last tried to quit as you have fought off all the cravings without giving in. Just take it every minute and then avery hour, it is amazing how time keeps going anyway, even without smoking. I always think time is such a funny thing, sometimes it drags , and then , before you know it, it is christmas. Then I ask myself, how many fags have I smoked in all these months that just flew by? Loads. Now i want the first few months to fly by, without smoking!
