Congrats on getting into week 2 :)

That sneaky Nicodemon can be more than annoying :mad: That's what the inner voice you mention is - Nicodemon!

But then there's also your own inner voice which is the one that has brought you to stopping smoking. It's the more favourable one.

At first it can seem to be a huge battle between the good and the bad - no need for me to tell you which voice is 'good' and which is 'bad'. Keep on denying the bad voice and eventually it will be quietened down. It is by repetition that you will forge the new healthier habit.

So, yes it will go with time...and sooner than you think ;)

Hi

This is my very first post!

Sorry you had a bad day yesterday. I am also in the middle of week 2 and finding it a bit strange as well. Sometimes all I can think about is having a cigarette too.

I tell myself that it wouldn't be "a" cigarette. No doubt it would taste vile. But its 19 buddies in the pack would also demand to be smoked one after the other after the other until all 20 were gone and I felt sick and so, so, disappointed. And that would be it for another year.

Be strong x
