Stay strong, are you going cold turkey? If so all the nicotine will be out of your body by the end of day 3, how fab is that?

It is sooo worth it, read the links, read the posts, re educate your brain. Smoking does nothing good for you, the nico demon is trying to get you to give in, don't let him win.

We are all here for you, you can do this.

Hi Toto & Vicki,

The lil monster is having a good old shout at me as well today. Making me think why are you doing this to yourself, go on, you know you want a fag. It tries to make you forget all the very good reasons you wanted to quit in the first place & all that becomes important is wanting to light up.

Well, it's not going to trick me, don't let it tick you either. Once you have fed him he will be shouting for another feed shortly after :eek:

Keep strong

Gaynor xHey Gaynor,

so far I haven't felt any doubt about my quit.... it sounds like I am lucky... the only obvious thing has been little fleeting thoughts that its time for a fag, but they disappear as quickly as they come when I remember that I'm not doing that anymore... I am waiting to hit my wall though, its bound to come at some point. x

Toto!!!! Don't do it. We know it's hard. But you gotta stay strong. Don't let the cravings win.You better than that. Drink plenty of water and just think how good would it be not to have the cravings to smoke and have a few more bucks in your pocket. Try to think of the pros of quitting smoking. We all are here for you.

We need posts like yours. Giving inspirations to others to quit. Good for you that you have the willpower to quit cold turkey.

Got through the day fine, had cravings, and was in a room with someone smoking at their window, but had my nasal spray in my pocket so was safe.

Must admit though, even though ive got patches and a spray, i dont feel like ive woke up yet, that first ciggie of the day - after making me dizzy - always woke me up properly...... so ive felt like a zombie for 2 days now:confused:

BUT.... the prospective new tennants of my house called round before to look around, and i could smell smoke in my kitchen once theyd gone, and they werent smoking, just the smell from them, and they werent the 'great unwashed' or anything, but i could smell it! Thats amazed me!
