I am really struggling today - day one and two went by ok, now I have hit a wall...I cannot sit still, am feeling so angry and letting it out on my gf, and am generally feeling lousy.

Anybody with similar experiences on day 3? is that the bottom of the barrell or does it get worse?

hi sorry to hear your struggling especially with the anger it will pass and it does get easier

when you feel it brewing up try taking some slow deep breathes and counting in your head or do some phyiscal exercice to burn it away and explain to your gf that its just a side effect of stopping smoking and buy her something nice or do something nice for her to make up for your behaviour

just think you are going through the worse part of quitting and as long as you keep focused and try and stay positive you will get through it

you can always come and rant on here too

onwards and upwards is the only way to go

as the others say, every one gets that day ( might last more or less) but you will get through it, maybe go for a walk rather than give the gf a hard time. ( remember that it wasn't her that put that first evil cancer stick in your mouth and forced you to smoke it,,,)

Take each 10 minutes/hour as they come and after each crave think that is one you have got through, drink loads of water too. some people go and do sit ups/press ups...wish I had might not have put on so much girth:rolleyes:

I too have replied to your other post without seeing you were feeling a bit grumpy today, keep strong.

Thanks guys, I made it... I did drink so much water i had to pee every hafl hour, I haven't killed anybody and gf is still here (although not very happy).

Feeling a bit better this morning, and back to trying to make it through the day

Well done! That bad day (it was Day 4 for me) is a big challenge, but you have come through and that is so good!

Getting through that should give you a real boost, and as each and every day passes without a stinking fag, you will feel more and more proud of yourself and of what you have achieved!
