Just thought id post that i have hit Day 25, my first memorable Mini Milestone as i have never got to day 25 before, so im well chuffed.
Had a few moments yesterday but then i get them every so often whereby the thought is there and its kinda like "listen to me cos i wanna tell you a story" then the story is not one you want to hear.
My stats are.....
I have been quit for 3 Weeks, 4 Days, 1 hour, 6 minutes and 1 second (25 days).
I have saved £108.34 by not smoking 425 cigarettes.
I have gained 1 Day, 11 hours and 25 minutes of my life.
Heres to the next milestone the True First Month. Stay smoke free and most of all stay strong, we can all do this. I know we can.

I dont feel like im doing great mind you. I am getting stronger and stronger thoughts on the cigs and although i have not smoked a proper cig now for the 25 days its starting to get harder for me. I also have a major headache this afternoon which is not good either its like a migraine.
I have an Ecig here without any nicotine in it so if all else fails i may end up grabbing that, i have gone CT but to use my E cig would be no different than say the inhalator but because i have no more Nicotine in my body then the only thing i would get from the Ecig would be the motion and taste of menthol cigs nothing else. I want this to work but i dont want any NRT as such and i dont want to go out and buy a pack then feel totally crap, i just want to know that if i cant stop them completely then the Ecig may help me. Anyhow, i have not done so yet but i have it here. If i do use it im not smoking because smoking is tobacco and ecig is not.

Sorry to hear you're finding things a bit tough at the moment Jo. Interestingly it was about the 25 day mark that I found it got harder too.
Do whatever you have to do to avoid smoking!! If that means taking NRT for a short while then please do it. I know you don't want to do that but it's far better than actually smoking.
Stay strong and focussed Jo. Millions of people have quit this poisonous habit and we're both going to join them. I believe in you Jo!!!
I think i will be prepared to use my Zero Nicotine Ecig should life become unbearable. I would rather use that then smoke again and like i said the Ecig is not a cigarette so by using that i know i wont be giving into the old nicomonster and going back to smoking cos i dont want to do that.
Anyhow, hopefully i can get through this and when things get tuff i know i can grab my electronic cig and puff away and know that im not getting anything more than vapor.
