3rd Day

[nsd_user663_41610]

I have been contemplating stopping smoking for many months now. I finally planned my stop date and smoked my final cigarette on Sunday night. I am using nicorette gum, which I find helps with the cravings and the last 2 days have been OK. I am struggling on day 3 and whilst I walked about at lunch time screwing my nose up at the smell of smoke when people smoking, I have a little demon in my head saying "just one".........

My sleep was rotten last night and found myself wide awake. Not sure if this is because I finally have enough oxygen in my system, withdrawl of nicotine or too many gums!

Probably a mixture of all 3 :p.

That sleep thing will improve in a few days though. It helps with sleep to go for a walk or otherwise get some exercise in the evening. Don't forget your blood sugar either: that will be all over the place too.

Well done on your quit gentoo. I to am on day three and like u am struggling today!!! I'm on patches which seem to do the trick for me, I still get cravings but they seem to take the edge off!

I'm the opposite with sleep, can't get enough of it, sleptvlike a baby last night. Although I'm so sleepy.

From my previous quits (and I've had many) u can't just have that one, it will just lead to one more and then more and then your back to being a smokers. I ask myself a question, why do I really want a smoke? Cos it tastes good- no tastes like crap!! It'll make me feel better - no it won't I'll feel like crap for giving in, give me a headache, sore throat etc etc and every question I ask myself I can't find a really good reason to have one. Sorry to ramble, good luck on your quit
