Hi all I'm on day 22 of my quit and I've had a few ups and downs today.

Woke up this morning and really fancied a cig:( but I didn't give in :) but the feeling of wanting one didn't go away, how can I be this far into my quit and be taken back like i was in day 3 when I've been so strong :confused:

I know it's not ment to be easy but getting this far and having cravings that strong did make me second guess my quit but only for a split second.

That's the attitude that means you're going to make it!!

You can be well pleased that you didn't give in and it's going to make you stronger for the next time!!

We all get days like you had Becky, they get loads less though :) Had to have an early night last night 'cos all I could think about was having a fag *but* that's rare for me now. Was actually feeling really good about my quit most of the day and haven't had a bad day for a while now, but it's like Max says the monster is still there even though it's dying.

I think it's because we've all smoked for years and we've trained ourselves to think the answer to everything is a cigarette. Bored? Have a fag. Happy? Have a fag. Sad? Have a fag and so on and it's going to take a while to break that but it's well worth doing!!

Keep that attitude and you're going to beat it :D
