Well made it to the 3rd day, work is hard without smoking, this is the longest iv'e

gone without a ciggy in years... :) Just wish I could concentrate!! The gum is really helping, but want to cut down on that too, need to get the nicotine out of my system...

good luck to everyone else on day three :)

LOL, I guess it's easy done, but better an extra stone, than ruined lungs :)

I have started swimming in the evenings, I'm hoping to offset all that minty goodness lol

Stick with it hun :)

When he comes back see how he smells - it won't be nice - that should help you keep off them.

Drink a lot of water, for some reason it helps, pretend to smoke a roll of paper or a lollypop stick, chew gum and above all keep busy, craves are a lot worse when you're bored!!

Do anything that distracts you, the cravings only last a few minutes, I know they're so intense they feel longer. Try brushing your teeth or gargling with strong mouthwash, scream, cry, punch a pillow, anything but give in - You can do it :cool:
