Think the mental battle is harder than the addiction, and when it does "click" that you don't want to, don't need to smoke that's a huge turning point!!
You still need to be on your guard, Nic o'Tine is a cunning little bugger, but with that mindset you're going to beat him and he'll have to slink off to find someone else to bug :cool:
And for me, doesn't seem like I ever smoked, much less enjoyed it :eek:
It really does feel like a turning point, and I really hope i stay feeling like this. Its almost as if I had one last big battle yesterday, and today i have woken up victorious with the war won! Like he gave it his best shot and lost! Whooop!!
I know that the little b@stard will be back and i am far from "in the clear", but I also have a strange feeling when he does come back, he will be rather easily swept under the carpet.
I will remain on guard, with my full body armour on
Yay! See, when you fight through those really crappy days and don't give in, the next day always dawns brighter.
It's probably not your last battle, this quitting lark is a rollercoaster in the early days. But you can face your next 'bad day' knowing that it CAN be beaten and that it WILL pass... and that knowledge makes it much easier to deal with.
And the bad days get fewer and further between, until every day is easy.
Well done Craig! I read your previous posts and panicked thinking omg, how am I going to do this!!?? But sooooo pleased you are out the other side! Gives me hope, well done x
Helsbelles, Thank you so much. your words of wisdom have really help me stay focused and battle through. - Do not worry, I am under no illusion that I am never going to have another bad day again, but my mindset now is that I'm over the worst. I am never a 'down' or 'depressed' person, and yesterday was the worst ive felt for as long as i can remember. It has given me real stength, I feel like if i can fight that off, i can fight anything off. With a massive thanks to you, I will enjoy this buzz all day long
Nicki, thank you! all i can say is this forum and the people on it are a life-line. There is an absolute mountain of infomation on here of how people deal with it and what they have felt and having something to relate to sure does help. Not to mention the sheer support!! - How are you doing now? what day are you up to?
Kat, I'm on a roll now, nothing will stop me or stand in my way Thanks so much

Hi Craig, totally agree, middle of day 4 for me! sounds a bit pathetic doesn't it when your into double figures!!
Nicki - its not pathetic at all! day 4 is a massive achievement. They say you should take each day at a time, but you are so close to 1 week now! I know you can do it! keep up the great work!
