Well 4th Week here I am

10 Replies

It seems to have flown by but finally I am here in the 4 week section.

Only problem is I feel as though I should be having a ciggi to celebrate? :mad:

The cravings seem to have returned today......is this normal????

How much longer before the nicodemon just gives in and goes away?????????

Hi John well done on getting to week 4 :D

the cravings are going to be with you for a while yet im afraid they will just get weaker over time but the fact you have managed not to give into them so far is brill

keep up the good work

Congrats John,

The nicdemon is a persistant fella, but then we can be persistant too right?!

Hi guys

Thanks for the support, I am sure I will get through this tough time.

The way I look at it is that the cravings are not as bad as they were when I 1st gave up so better to resist them now then to go back to day 1!! :p

Still enough complaining

Hi John :)

A huge well done on reaching the 4 week mark, that's just brilliant :D

Its strange because we can go days without that "craving" feeling, then all of a sudden we have them back :mad:

Have you read about the nico demon on here? I highly recommend you have a read.....( i will try and find it for you in a minute)

The nico demon will do anything in his power to get you to have another smoke and he will creep up on you when you least expect it, especially when you are doing really well, he doe's not like that at all!! stay strong and he will disappear again for a while.

Thank you Snowie

I am going to look at it now. I find that trying to take my mind off things with humour helps, but to be honest I am running out of material!! :D:D

Oh, I wanted to add how weird the craving can be! I have been fortunate to have not had any cravings since day 10, but today (day 38) I actually put on my coat ready to go buy some because I was out of fags! It was as if I had never quit, it did not feel like a crave, just a 'Oh, I must be low as I have not been out yet today!'

Did not make me want one, just made me realise the demon will try when you are least suspecting it, and made me realise if I had a feeling like that while drunk (as if that ever happens!) or feeling down I could easily end up buying/smoking some.

Is very freaky the way this happens!

Great post -- lots of agg back in the day eh? :eek:

Hi Genes

You are right, sometimes you just forget that you don't smoke - really wierd!!

Woooh hooo!!!! Great job, only I thought you said Tuesday :) Never mind, I posted my four weeks on Sunday instead of Monday, so I'm as bad as you :eek: Maybe we could both post in Month 2 in a few days. After all, we'll be there soon!

Don't look back, you're on the right track! How was that for a corny expression :)

Cheers,

Michael.

I was hoping no one would notice!! I was going to try and claim a seat in the penthouse next week. Now you have spoilt my plan!! :p
