Actually not too bad at mo...

[nsd_user663_20669]

Quite pleased this morning...was expecting a sleepless night last night, and to be too tired to manage with the kids today, but I actually slept! All night!

Must've worn myself out with all the cleaning.

Don't feel too bad this morning...have some cravings, but they're managable. Am chewing lots of gum and just trying to keep busy. Yesterday evening was the worst bit so far, hope this evening not as bad. I spent most of it sat in the bath crying...lol x

well done for getting through the first night and reaching day 2

just remember to take each craving at a time and try and keep your mind and hands busy when it comes along

Thanks,

Felt a bit rotten just now, and had a really bad craving, so went and did 200 on the stepper with my weights...feel better now

If I can do that every time, I'll be much fitter when I'm done! lol

Am finding it hard as I'm a stay at home mum, and just moved to a new area so I don't know anyone and have no one to talk to in the day. My 1 yr old is here, but he's not the greatest conversationalist, bless him

[nsd_user663_20558]

Have a look and see if there are any mother and toddler groups in your area - it's so hard being at home all day, it would do you good to have a change of scenery (and one not associated with smoking!)

Take care x

Hi H,

I've had quite bad PND and PNA which has made it hard for me to get out of the house. I'm now getting support from the children's centre, and a very nice lady is coming to take me to a group on Monday. I'm somewhat pathetic at the moment and struggle to leave the house alone

Didn't think I'd be able to manage a day without smoking so pretty chuffed to be on day 2 x

[nsd_user663_20558]

Under those circumstances... wow. Hats off to you for quitting! Absolutely fantastic. I'm so impressed!

Glad to know you're getting some support. Hope the group is a good one!

H

[nsd_user663_18145]

ahhh HUGS TO YOU i really feel for you and as H says WOW the fact your going through what you are and giving up smoking on top is brill well done

at least you have support here whenever you need it and that is def a big bonus

take care

Carol

Thanks guys!

Had a meltdown and ended up screaming at my mum earlier, but we haven't been having the best relationship lately, and it was stuff that needed to be said tbh, so it ended well...cleared the air I guess

Still really want a cig, but am determined to get to the end of today...can't see further than that, just one day at a time x

[nsd_user663_4625]

Hi Fabulous,

Well done you & hope you are feeling better now. It's so hard to quit anyway but even harder when you have other things to cope with as well such as you have.

There will always be someone here to talk to, shout at or cry with until you get more settled in the community & indeed afterwards.

You keep strong & heres to a FABULOUS QUIT

Thanks Gaynor

I've tried loads of times before, and quit for a while at various times in my life, but always ended up "just having one". I just feel more determined this time and can't explain why. Normally, I'd have thought "stuff it" and gone to the shop by now, but I've spent all afternoon watching the clock and waiting for OH to come home, cos once he's home I know my last opportunity to sneak to the shop is gone, and I know then I'll make it to bedtime

Don't feel too bad at mo, been making tea so that's keeping me occupied. After tea is worst time, always enjoyed my cig after tea Feel like I've lost a friend...how daft is that? x

[nsd_user663_4625]

It's not daft Sal but you will get used to it. It doesn't take long to retrain yourself into not smoking at those 'special' times. I have even managed to get up in the mornings without being extremely p'd off that I can't have a fag as it was the first thing I did everyday. For it not to be bothering me is a minor miracle in itself lol.

I to have tried, tried, tried & always succumbed to the just one which turns into a fully fledged smoking career, you are not alone there!!

Not this time though hey

[nsd_user663_20669]

Gotta say, I'm glad to hear that! I've been worrying that in 6 month's time I'll still be miserable because I can't have a fag after dinner!

Definately not this time! Sounds like you're doing really well....when did the cravings get less for you? x

[nsd_user663_4625]

I would say probably from day 3. Can't really say I have had many at all. Makes me more determined to make this quit my final one. The enxt time I may not be so lucky :rolleyes:

Hang in there it does get easier believe me i felt terrible on day,s 2 and 3 DO NOT GIVE IN TO NICOTINE 72 hours and the nicotine will be gone and things will ease up.

thanks Nic.

Feel pretty rough, but really pleased to have almost reached the end of day 2.

OH is being very good and not letting me have one, even though I keep pestering him for one....lol x
