Pleased to announce that I have made it to day 3 of not smoking! I found yesterday particularly hard, and didn't manage to get to sleep until about 2am Woke up this morning feeling quite grumpy again which may be a combination of the nicotine withdrawal and sleep deprivation.
Feels a bit like I've limped into day 3 as I was very tempted to smoke yesterday evening - more to stop the anxiety and symptoms than actually wanting to smoke (I actually don't particularly enjoy smoking anymore).
Really hope I can stick out today too.
Well done everyone else on their quit! Also many thanks for the advice and support I've received over the last couple of days.

You're doing BRILLIANTLY, you really are. Don't give in now because you're only a whisker away from getting through the worst of it. Just hang on in there and keep posting
I don't feel like I am doing brilliantly because I feel so awful. I can't find my nicotine replacement therapy anywhere either which is not helping :mad:
I know it won't last forever but it is so hard right now!

You can do it. Being tempted to smoke is perfectly normal. Just dont give in and realise it will pass. You will not feel like this forever.
The first 3 days are the worst in my opinion, the early days drag too, if you can get through them you can get through the week. Then it will start to get easier and before you know it you will be counting in months:).
Today I think has been the worst so far. Have been completely without NRT so perhaps that is why, but then it might be for a good thing that I'm going cold turkey - just get the whole withdrawal thing out of the way in one go...
Have had waves of anger and irritability and anxiety all day. I have been yelling on my own at home throwing things and just generally being a not very nice person. It is just as well I don't have to be around other people today!
Thanks for everyone's advice and encouragement, it really helps me! And well done and good luck to everyone else on your quitting journeys!
Day 3 is nearly over (well depending I guess when I get to sleep...). My mood has subdued slightly this evening but I still feel pretty down and grumpy. Just feel so bad about myself, like I'm a really bad person, everyone hates me etc. Also crying randomly quite a bit. I assume this is all part of the withdrawal?
