Hi all..............

[nsd_user663_52419]

Thought Id seek out likeminded people..... Im into day 3 and feeling ok at the minute, mind you I recall sayng that yesterday and ended rather agitated early evening, took myself out to visit family and was fine. Im on patches as didnt contemplate going cold turkey. I feel my mind is absorbed and Im kinda lost... just hoping doesnt last too long .............

Hi Karyn, welcome aboard. You will find a wealth of advice and support on this forum. I did.

Try not to put any pressure on yourself and dont look too far ahead in to the future. Just try to get through each hour, each crave. Trust me, i am on day 17 and it DOES pass.

Good luck and keep talking.

Hey Karen, welcome honey and congrats for day 3. What you are feeling is totally normal, you will feel lost, but its not a bad thing its just re adjusting by 2-3 weeks that will have 100% gone along with nicotine withdrawal, then you just need to focus and prepare for the mental side of the cravings, this im afraid have no timescales its all about how you and your own mind cope, you can make it easy or you can torture yourself and think about them 24/7. take the easy option, when it hits deep breath, cold water, walk away and in 2 ,mins its gone!!!

plenty of advice support on here at all stages.

Will lok out for your posts

derek xx

Hi Karyn,

I am also on patches and on day three so we are the same

I have in previous quit attempts found concentration to be difficult and this one is no different and seems worse today. I also sleep tons, I get home from work, eat and then go to bed and fall to sleep nearly instantly and sleep for hours... I think my body is mending whilst I sleep which is a nice thought

I hope you have a good day and keep posting to let us know how you are getting on - all the best xx

Thanks everyone..... Today is still going well... much better than most of yesterday, Im shattered but thats due to the fact I barely managed an hour sleep last night... hopefully better tonight. Glad I decided to go for it on my annual leave week lol
