3.20pm day 2

[nsd_user663_43827]

Just decided on Sat to give up on Mon, I have been smoking 20 to 30 a day for roughly 10 years.

Been on the Green tea, bounty, snickers and Mr men sweets.

Just ordered an nhs quit kit, also thinking about those elites, but not sure if that is kind of cheating??

Hi Salmoney and welcome. Congratulations on your decision to quit. My opinion, for what it is worth is, you use whatever method works for you and if it doesn't work, then try another. Good luck

There aren't any rules to this game.

I think they're a healthy alternative to someone trying to avoid the inhalation of products of combustion.

If you're trying to terminate a nicotine laced complex compulsive habit then they they don't even get you out of the blocks.

Horses for courses and all that.

Only my view mind!

Hi Salomey,

What is your Quit method CT or NRT?

[nsd_user663_10532]

Come on Salmoney, you can do it. Almost into day 4 now, don't undo all you hard work. Keep drinking really cold water when u get the crave, go for a shower or a walk.......do whatever it takes to divert your attention away from the crave......you will beat this

Hi Jubilee

Well it was CT on Monday, snickers and bounty bars yesterday and fish finger sandwiches today

I am thinking about some patches or something, but worried that will just keep the addiction going...

[nsd_user663_43834]

DON'T ...............give in... you are doing great, good luck and hang in there, listen at me i'm only on day 1 i'll be where you are in 2 days time, u can do it,

[nsd_user663_42145]

Salomey,

CT is my quit too. The good news is it takes 72 hours (3days) for the nicotine to leave you body. Smile you are nicotine free!!! Now it's mental, you can do it!!! you just got through the worst and you will never have to re-live those 3 days ever again if do not put nicotine back in. Keep going!!!

It IS worth it. You may feel that lil monster kick and scream a few more times but that is because you are winning!

[nsd_user663_43827]

Again tnx for support guys and don't worry i am not giving in, not by a long way... Just a bit tougher today than i was expecting

And look forward to seeing you posting on day 3 Jay

Salmoney, need to do what works for you but having done the three days, I would not go in the patches as you will be putting the nicotine back in your body. However, whatever you decide, do not smoke.

Good luck.
