The last 2 days have been like 2 years. The first time I quit it was so easy. I was happy about it most of the time, well apart from the day the patch fell off. This time has been hell right from the start. I've got to stick with it whatever. I'm sure it can't get any worse than this. I suppose it's better to have it like this because WHEN I get further down the line it will stop me from just trying one for old times sake.
Hope everyone has had a better day than I have and here's to a bright smoke free day tomorrow for us all.

Hi Una sounds like you are doing brilliantly but could do with an emotional boost. I think you must be really strong that you've picked yourself up and started again; that may be why it feels harder this time as you think you're back to square one? For what it's worth I think the fact that you're back on track puts it in the category of a blip, rather than going back to square one and the good work from the previos quit will still be there.
Thanks. I was just cut off again. Every day for the past 3 days. I hate BT.
Yes I feel I have had to go right back to square one. Day 3 instead of week 3. Of course that isn't true. Because I came back straight away I haven't really lost the progress I had made. Only gained more nicotine. I will really have to stop feeling sorry for myself. When I read some of my posts for the last 2 days I sound like a real wimp. Time to pick myself up and move on and also be thankful that I have my health. Luckily the only problem I have is a damaged nerve in my foot and I get to take codeine every night for that. Something else I can be thankful for because I know I will go to sleep and sleep all night. Tomorrow I'm going to make a list of all the things I should be thankful for. Onward and upward

Day 3, week 3 it makes no difference. You have seen the light at the end of the tunnel. I like your post because you are thinking positively and positive thinking is the key to success.
I'm surprised at today my second or third day but first day going to work and having to say NO to myself. Yeah I kept saying 'good for you' ... glad I can pop in and read posts like yours. I'm hoping I can pull it tomorrow as I work at another location with different types of personalities. Test #2!
