Day 7, very well done. Looks like, with the last couple of days being a bit easier, that the initial full on crazy cravings have peaked. So it will start getting easier now for most of the time.

There are still going to be some super cravings every now and again, with periods of relative calm between them. The periods of calm will increase as your quit progresses, so you will experience fewer and fewer super craves.

It reall does get easier and easier! :)

Well done Chels

Try going for a little walk and deep slow breathing some fresh air....it is quite nice and actually does get addictive :)

Just what we need

One day at a time

Take care

Great work Chels!!!!

It is day 7 for me today as well. The cravings are mostly not too bad, what is really bothering me is constant headaches. I have been using an E-cig a bit here and there mostly at night and I snuck a few puffs frm it this morning as well :mad: and I wonder if it is the small amount of nicotine I am getting from that or is it a lack of nicotine, not sure!!

Hanging in there though, definitely feeling optimistic for the future :)

btw: I still wake up everyday thinking about a smoke so I am hping within the next couple of months that will subside as well.

Hey Chels, you're doing great...i've had a very "iffy" day today to, but gave myself a good talking to & got through it.

Tomorrow is another day (day 8 yippee) we'll get through it & sooner or later instead of limping through each day we'll run lol

Lots of luck

Trudy :)

Hiya Chels,

Your doing great, the more times you fight these cravings the easier it will become. I work as a sales advisor for a major bank and it gets stressful for me when im not meeting targets etc. I now just grab a brew and so******e with my other non smoking friends .Don't envy the smoker and remember it is them that will envy you been a non smoker :)

keep up the good work chicken

Apparently, it's normal! Don't worry!

Hey Chels,

I've been busy reading about quitting! I came across this:

"Be prepared for a small spike in crave episodes on day seven as you celebrate your first full week of freedom from nicotine."

I found it while reading this whyquit.com/pr/111605.html

I definitely recommend it!

Hugs to you. Tomorrow will be much better!

Nik
