who would've known...

Okay, so i'm almost through day two and i entered into the search engine..."day 2 without a cig" and this forum appeared!

After checking it out, instantly i decided to become a member. I've been smoking for 9 consecutive years and believe it or not...it wasn't even a new years resolution to quit for me!

Two days ago, i decided i didn't want to smoke anymore and went cold turkey. Who would've known that i would get through it. Don't get me wrong, i've been tempted and even looked in ashtrays for shorts :eek: only to be dissappointed. Just an hour ago my longtime boyfriend lit up a cig right in front of me (and smoked it) and there was no temptation/desire :cool:

Everyone, hang in there as i will to and i look forward to being smoke free and reading your inspirational post!

Hey Tricia,

Fair play, I live in a house of smokers and that has been the hardest part....that and the insomnia!! ....just starting day 4 here and day 3 was definately easier for me than the first two!

The very best of luck with the quitting

I'm pretty sure I would have cracked under pressure on the first day if I lived with smokers. So that's quite an impressive achievement!

well done to you for quitting:)

it is hard to live with someone that smokes but the longer you stay quit the more put of you wilbecome to the smell of smoke :confused: i used to share a house with a smoker and it got to a point that if she was going to light up i would leave the room i was so glad when she moved out the other thing i noticed big time is that you can smell smokers as you walk past them even if they are not smoking at the time there is like a cloud hovering over them ive got afew smoking friends who now when i meet up with them and we have a hug i have to hold my breathe so im not repelled by the stench :eek:

just remember to take each craving as it comes along and keep mind and hands busy till it passes

onwards and upwards is the way to go
