Day 5....

[nsd_user663_22435]

...& have had only 1 snotfit. That was 2 days ago. I'm waiting for the insomnia to kick in but making sure that I don't have any caffeine after 6 pm so I'm hoping it's not going to be so bad this quit (which I am still finding surprisingly easy, thanks to the E cig) Everything tastes disgusting, thank god, & the bloating came & went (very unnerving, that!) I'm eating a lot of health food snacks...the seeds & stuff...just to try to improve my energy levels & to make sure I don't snack (got chronic osteoarthritis, especially badly in my feet & back so I must NOT put any great weight on) & I am very proud of myself (seeing as the rest of the family aren't bothered) as I've managed to quit with my OH, daughter & daughter's boyfriend all smoking. Luckily, about 7 years ago, we decided that no one could smoke indoors so we've kept to that rule religiously...it kind of means that I'm on my own a fair bit...with the remote control...mwahahahahahaha!!!! However, I've grown in stature in my 2 younger sons eyes...THEY, at least, are pleased with what I'm achieving...& I actually don't think about smoking now. Onward &, hopefully, upward!

well done!

Well done you! keep it up! I know what you mean about the others smoking! my mum smokes but outside and because I know where she is I start with a craving! but then I think no no no... ive come this far! (only on day 5 but is a big achievment in my eyes) then she comes back in and stinks! and I tell her she stinks! (makes me feel better lol)

Keep calm and carry on!

Lol, Zach, it did make it a bit harder at first but I can cope now & I've only had a very fleeting craving this morning...a bit of a last whimper from Nick O'teen before I ignore him completely!

Keep it going, Zach....all of these niggles will pass. Is this your first quit? Or are you a serial offender like myself? Though I am determined that this is my very last quit...I really don't want to disappoint my kids again, like I did when I went back to the fags last time.

"Snotfit" haha...I like that one!!

Just goes to show what we were prepared to sacrafice just so we coud get our nicotine hit....I mean giving up control of the TV remote!!??

Well done Sophie. Sounds like you are doing great under less than ideal circumstances. The kids will be seriously proud of you Im sure.

It's insane, isn't it?

Re your post about Champix...can't say anything about the effects of that as I've never used it...CT is my method (I'm a confirmed masochist) tho I'm doing with the aid of E cigs this time...I have noticed that every now & again, I really feel like hurling so it's probably another withdrawal symptom.

Keep going, Richie...you're kicking Nick O'teen's ass, one day at a time!
