Day 3

Feel awful

Oh Beer...you poor thing. A virtual hug coming your way.

Day 3 is often the pits (it's notoriously difficult) but if you can get through it, tomorrow will be better.

Just keep telling yourself that every minute you don't smoke is a minute you will never have to go through again. Once the withdrawal is done, it's done for ever.

Hang on in there.

Hi flu like symptoms, when im like this I don't feel like smoking. So from that point of view it's good.

[nsd_user663_60964]

Yes, that's true enough

It's the drug leaving your system. I remember how crock I felt but you don't half feel better afterwards. Drink loads of water if possible as it really does help.

Hope your day goes as well as it can do. I think you should do something nice to pamper yourself later.

[nsd_user663_61170]

Ok thanks.

Ask yourself Keith-3 weeks ago could you imagine having gone without fags for THREE DAYS :eek::eek:

Hi Max

Thats the first time iv smiled today cheers

I was the same for the first few days; stuffed up, a bit shivery and generally feeling BLEH. The good thing is that it passed after maybe day 4 for me (although everyone is different). I took a few paracetamol and used some nasal decongestant to deal with the symptoms and that helped a lot.

Feel sorry for yourself and look after yourself - whatever it takes! Very well done

[nsd_user663_61054]

P.S. they say that drinking fruit juice is good in the first few days. I didn't read about this until I was well past that but maybe it'll help you

[nsd_user663_61170]

Thanks for all the support, its so thought changing looking at the replies. You guys should feel proud of yourselfs , even if you help one person quit but I know you've helped lots and lots.The world could do with forums like thid for every addiction x

Sorry you still feel grotty, Keith.

As I said yesterday, I started feeling 'flu-ey' on day 7 (this Monday),

and today I'm feeling better. Back to normal by tomorrow, I reckon.

So ride it out for another day or two, and I'm sure you'll be back in

the land of the living

As you say, it kinda squashes the urge for a smoke -- result!

Best wishes,

Steve

Feel awful

Booo hisss to feeling awful! Chin up, don't let the bu**ers get you down! You might be extra tired at the moment too which would make you feel unwell as this giving up smoking lark is exhausting.

[nsd_user663_56673]

Sorry to hear you're feeling under the weather Keith Remember the old adage 'feed a cold, starve a fever' ...you have an excuse to treat yourself big time

It'll soon be Day 4 and then you're close to a week

[nsd_user663_61235]

Today I am on day 3 myself. So far I do not feel the "flu symptoms" though I am sure I will before the weekly celebration hits. Right now I am just coughing up stuff. Lung butter as I call it. lol

Keep up the great work, Bro. You can do this!

[nsd_user663_61233]

Hi Beer.

I'm going to post the same message as I just posted for Mike.

This is the time to gather the troops and recall how miserable and ashamed you were when smoking. Not to mention how smelly - did I mention that!!!

It doesn't matter if you obsess a thousand times today - just DON'T SMOKE.

Isn't it great waking up knowing you didn't smoke yesterday? You want that tomorrow, don't you?

Well done. We're in it together.

WE CAN DO THIS
