Day 7 ahoy

[nsd_user663_53172]

Hi guys,

So been lurking on the forum for week and finally posted for the first time today -so hello to all!

I am on Day 7- woo hoo!

Being honest- Day 4 and 5 were not good- I was a complete mess. In fact on day 5 I actually sat in the smoking area of a coffee shop and had a little cry whilst I drank a large coffee and ate a tin of altoid mints instead of smoking. Good test of willpower but not sure what I actually achieved! Anywho, after suprising myself in not getting fired at work (I did absolutley nothing except look out the window and browse this forum- no concentration whatsover!) I am actually getting into the swing of not going down to the smoking area every hour and I am feeling healthy. The worst time for me is the evening and getting home from work so I have been baking, cleaning and generally becoming a domestic goddess since extinguishing that final cig.

Im so proud of the fact that I have gone a week- i didnt think I would or could...Im still adjusting and although I wish the cravings were gone -they are not but I am just ignoring them and getting on with things- it seems to be getting easier to do that.

I feel so free and happy not have to depend on the little suckers anymore.

Apologies for the rant!

Well done Werthers and nice to meet you

I didn't want to post at first as I was "afraid" of being judged.

It was a worry whilst I was feeling fragile but everyone is so supportive and friendly.

Chuffed for you hitting day 7

Long may it continue.

Speak soon

Take care

Thanks guys- really appreciate the replies and agree that this forum has been such a help in getting through the first week!

Welcome Werthers.

Great name. Werthers chewy toffees were a mainstay of my quit in the early days! Don't like to think what they contributed to my weight gain, but hey ho.

A week is fab. You should be really proud.

Well done on your first week Werthers. You can rant all you like on here we've all been there. Concentration can be a bit of a problem in the beginning but it soon goes away. Things do get better

[nsd_user663_53172]

Made my way through many packs of them by now- im on the butter crunch ones though- may have to try the toffee ones! Thank goodness the concentration is starting to get back to normal
