Tomorrow will be day 5 (i think) of my CT quit. I have actually found it surprisingly easy so far, I think because I really do have so much to gain from quitting. I'm 24 and when I look back on my life, I think about all the time smoking took away from me, how miserable it made me feel, how embarrassed I felt to smell of smoke, all the money I wasted. Even on my 4th day, I feel so amazing, I never want to go back to how I was before. I smell good, feel more confident, have nice breath, more money in my pocket, and I'm full of optimism for the future.
I'm not going to let my guard down though, I will be drinking on Saturday so need to be careful. Does anyone have any tips?

Sounding great Matthew, so positive and I'm beginning to learn that's key
As for the weekend and drinking, this is also going to be a challenge for myself but I'm thinking on how I'll feel when I've fought it and shown myself that I don't need a cig to enjoy myself! Think we have to keep alert and make the quit priority!
It will be tough and you will prob have "moments" but take a big deep breath and count to ten and it will pass. Just don't have too many drinks and stay in control yeah ! Have fun
well done! im on my 12th day cold turkey now and I feel abit crap, not gonna lie but its easier than day 3-4, its more mind over matter for me now. my advise is not to expect a miracle, you will have to work to keep yourself quit, but it will get easier to do that and you will feel so proud of yourself! thats the reward my friend xxxxx
