Hi All

I've been lurking on here for a few days and finally decided to join. I started my quit on 3 Nov, cold turkey, and am finding it a bit of a struggle!

The first 2 weeks were not too bad, but for the last few days I've had a demon on my shoulder.

:confused:

Thanks for the welcome!

I've already found this forum a huge help. The past few days I've had a little voice telling me it was SO easy the first couple of weeks I could start again and then quit again after Xmas ...... plus I'm eating anything that isn't nailed down, especially chocolate!

I'll join the November group for a bit of moral support.

Hi Choci

Cold turkey....that's tough, so you're doing really well and you should be very proud of yourself

As the days go by it DOES get easier. I promise you. I'm on day 47 and ok, sometimes I think it'd be nice to have a fag, but that's all it is. A fleeting thought.

Keep reminding yourself why you wanted to quit.

DO NOT listen to that voice that tells you quitting is easy and you can do it later. Its the addicted voice and is not telling you the truth!

Good luck. You CAN do this

Thanks everyone for your support. Been out all day today and haven't really thought about it - just have to keep busy I guess. Maybe it's just the terrible threes I keep hearing about.

I've developed a teeny obsession with cleaning my teeth - I think it's the novelty of a clean mouth!
