Hi Squinter,well done on your decision to quit and for joining this board.Im 12 days in atm and its getting easier every day.Just hang in there and you,ll be fine..

Im sure there will lots of help and advice from everyone here!GOOD LUCK!!

Welcome Squinter, keep posting and stick to the forum and the great people on it, as much as any NRT. That's my advice anyway, it's got me this far.....

Thx for the welcome folks, Aye, usually on the net playing online games so i'll be sure to pop back an forth and congrats you lot on the amount of days you have quit, pretty impressive

Thx Doodlebugroach, on my 19th hour now and its gettin hairy but im sticking with it, i think it gets worse at night because maybe i have more to do during the day? altho i do a 14 mile cycle at night but that only takes an hour to do and the fact that most of my smoking was done sitting at pc playing games but as i said i'll stick at it, its good to get a bit of support, i hope its getting easyer for u Doodle, 3 days is great !

Squinter if you post smoke free tomorrow I will do a 20mile bike ride...timed....please come back........day 2 easier than day 1 trust me....

Welcome Squinter, I hope you enjoy your time here

Come on Squinter this gotta be done sometime so let's do it now. This forum has been my lifeline when the going's got tough. On day 12 today and same as you I found the nights hardest. I am also sat at my pc at home most days working and this is a hard one as I would just have my rollies right next to me and light up nilly willy.

First 4 days were vile but then it really did become easier. Day one I ate a jar of pickled onions whilst on the pc (needed something tasty but not fattening)

Day two which was harder than day one was a Saturday for me and I ended up rowing with the microwave!! By Day 3 I was singing songs in my head related to giving up smoking and looking at everyone with a blank expression when they talked to me.

Now I can breathe easier, I can hold out my hands and not be ashamed of the yellow staining, and I am pumping iron at the gym like nobody’s business. The thoughts are still there but so much easier to handle.

Keep trucking and posting.
