Newbie joining on what is day 3.5 now. After lunch I have had my first serious pangs since quitting. I have come on this forum to get some inspiration and after reading other people's day 3 issues I find that I am inspired to keep going.

I have a slight worry that as I have friends over later that if I have a drink it will make me want to smoke as I usually smoke when I drink - may have to leave off the alcohol this evening I reckon...

Well done Lordlee :D:D

Day 3 is notorious for being a tough one so you're doing brilliant.

I would avoid alcohol tonight, its most peoples downfall. I managed my first night drinking on day 5 but I drank in modertation and I was with non smokers which made a huge difference.

Fingers crossed you make it through tonight.

well done on quitting :D

if you do decide to drink try not to drink too much and have a glass of water in between each drink

do the friends you have coming over know you have quit?

if they do ask them to smoke outside and not to offer you a ciggy

educate yourself on some of the tips from this forum as that will help

I would try and avoid alcohol on day 3, especially if you usually smoke when you drink... leave the alcohol for a while until you are over the worst, dont take the risk, well done on quitting, you doing good! Keep it up! :D
