The dreaded day 3!!! And as in previous quits it is the worst day so far, but having read all the other posts on day 3, everyones in the same boat. It started well, just seems to have slowly got worse - i know i dont want to smoke and the cravings are fine, but physically I feel drained.
Im at work just now but can honestly say Im being about as much use a sack of a*seholes at the minute!!! (excuse my language but it totally sums up how i feel lol!!!)
I think some positve comments from quitters past this stage wouldnt go amiss for the rest of us on day 3.
Roll on day 4!!!

Your doing grea!. You are exhausted cuz you are not jacked up with nicotine, you are leveling out. The nicotine is out of your body and now it's all mental. Every time you have "the crazies" that little nicotine monster is throwing a fit to get fed and dying. Keep going you are doing it. It gets easier. I promise.
Im going CT so im trying to focus on the fact that by tomorrow i will be nicotine free. And then armed with alan carr, I will beat the mental addiction too.
"The Crazies" is a great name for those "moments" im having, my other half has lots of names for those "moments", but i can assure you none of them are nearly as polite as "the crazies" lol :D
day three has a reputation for sure however i just found it dull i found the mantra of one day at a time or 1hr@a time worked for me check out my links there is lots of stuff about day three week three mth 3. but do keep going its so worth it.keep reminding yourself why youve quit and stick to it be patient and you will reap the rewards.
Lol i think its lack of sleep in the first week, we're not breathing all those toxic fumes into us anymore making us lethargic and comatosed lol so with lack of sleep etc we get crazy brain! I did anyway!
Hi Red, I have to say I don't know how people can go cold turkey but I congratiulate you.. because I know for sure i couldnt. Lozengers all the way for me, wether it be a few months or a few years who cares as long as I dont have a fag. Well done. Jacqui
