how things change as time goes by

[nsd_user663_20978]

when i started my quit for a good 98% of my time all my mind could think about was:

smoking

cigarettes

and how i used to cope with everything with a cigarette in hand be it happy or sad

now here i am NOT thinking about cigarettes 98% of the time and they tend to be a passing thoughts now

cigarettes seem almost alien to me now and i cant beleive how much they ruled my life and controlled me

and i can cope with everything be it good or bad WITHOUT a cigarette in hand because i now know it didnt help any of those situations

so to all u new quitters it does get better i never ever believed it would when i was in the darkest depths of the early days and then slowly but surely it happens there is light at the end of that tunnel its big bright and beautiful

Boo that is really lovely, to hear I am 6 weeks in and I am thinking less and less every day, rather than like most of the time in the beginning. I'm sure all the newbies will draw strength from this. Keep up the quit. Bet. xx

Absolutely! It's true! Newbies, hang in there. It doesn't happen overnight but if you can grit your teeth and keep going, it DOES HAPPEN.
