Day 2 update

Morning non smokers

I was going to post this earlier but pesky work got in the way lol.

So far so good. I have had some smoking thoughts, bordering on craves, but I have just been getting in with it. I have my spray in my pocket and so far have not felt the need to use it - but I'm not going to make the same mistake twice and if I do get a really bad urge (as in unbearable) I will use the spray before I dare think of using anything else.

Hope everyone is feeling good this morning!!!

Hang in there Mark, remember smoking doesn't solve anything - if it did everyone would do it!!

Lunch time update:

It's incredible how quickly I was pulled back in.

I am not long finished my lunch and I must admit I have a bit of an urge. It isn't enough to send me potty so I am holding off on using the spray. I think I am finally seeing the nicotine trap for what it is.

At this stage though I refuse to take anything for granted. Saturday is still fresh in my mind and I refuse to repeat. I am adopting the mantra of one hour at a time and holding to the knowledge that I can always use my spray if I really need to.

Well done

I have been using patches for a week now and even got through the weekend with a few drinks with smoking friends!

No need to struggle when there is NRT to help. Once the habbit is broken, reducing the patches will be easier. So if you need a spray then use it, if it keeps you off the cigs.

Getting through the craves is a part of the journey to smokefreeness; just take each one as it comes and find your best way to deal with it. You only have to deal with one crave at a time!

Look at your previous quit as a short "warm up" for the real thing....the real thing is happening NOW and how exciting is that, eh?

Keep us posted!
