This is torture...

New here. It's coming to the end of Day 2 for me. I've quit before. Stopped every time I discovered I was pregnant. That's two times. Stopped again early last year for 3 months. Then I thought let me just have one... I got cocky. Here I am quitting again.

I am restless in a hotel in a foreign country and all I wanna do is run to the gift shop to buy a pack. I've been exhausted today. I just want to sleep and sleep and sleep. But I'm going to beat this thing once and for all.

3 hours to go before I go to sleep... This is torture.

Are you going CT? If so once you get through tomorrow things will start to ease up. Come here often and read lots of posts and that will help to keep you sane:)

You are doing so well.....especially in a hotel abroad - 2 more days and things get so much easier.....try having showers, cleaning teeth, breathing very deep, watch something funny etc - good luck!

Thanks everybody. Yes, I've been reading tips here and they are great. Gosh, I've really tried to quit but I think I always believed that I was giving something up. I feel different now. My mind just said "It's time". I've smoked since 1996i and I always felt like I enjoyed smoking. Lately, I haven't been enjoying it. Even when I quit last year, I really wanted to smoke. I guess being overseas for a month has contributed since I've had a bit of a crisis with brands. You know what I mean?

It's stupid that when I can't find the brand I am used to and I switch, I find it disgusting and yet keep going until I'm used to it. Dumb!! Well, I've had to switch brands 3 or 4 times while here. And I realized something. I'm not addicted to smoking cigarettes. I'm addicted to nicotine period. Since I hate the smell, the anti-social aspect of smoking, etc, why was I lighting up?

End of day 2, beginning day 3.
