Into month 3 Today!

Wow, I've got to month 3, and it feels really great!!! :D:D

I can now see that it felt like it's been dragging a bit towards the end of month 2. Completing the month and starting month 3 feels liberating, almost like a kind of rebirth. There is definitely something beneficial and powerful in using milestones.

I've still got low level craves, but they aren't enough to get me to smoke. They just add a dissatisfying background irritation to the day. :(

If you are reading this and are a new starter, don't worry about these low level craves! They are nothing like as strong as the initial craves you get when starting your quit. For nearly all the time I don't notice them, and they certainly aren't making me think about smoking. The strong craves at the beginning of your quit do subside fairly quickly, and it gets easier as you go on, much easier.

I feel really great today, fantastic, and really pleased with myself. :D

Well done Biggrin, so pleased for you gong into month 3, and youre right the milestones definitely help to keep you going strong (aling with this forum of course). In regards to the low level craves, for me I feel they're more like a " shouldn't I be doing something now" type feeling rather than wanting a cig but as you said they do fade in the background!

Have a great day and join the party in month 3!!

Wotcha Biggrin

Huge well done matey, it feels brilliant doesn't it. I know what you mean about it feeling likes it moving slowly running up to a milestone, it did for me getting to 2 months done and dusted.

But you're here now! Mince pie? I don't suppose you can get control of Greg now you're here? He keeps flicking tripe ice cream at everyone and I've already piled enough weight on without being tempted further! :D

It's getting packed in here and that's just so cool!
