That's what we call the mental crave. Even though you may have not have had the "need" to smoke the thought always lingers about cigarettes. That too will pass in time.
You seem to be on a great mind set and are trucking forward into day three. The first three days are some of the roughest times in a quitters journey and it seems you are handling it like a BOSS :cool: You have this under control.
No in the early days thoughts dont leave, there sort've lingering in your mind. But you've already established they are just thoughts and not wants, craves or needs. Thats amazing!!! Go girlfriend!!!
Your doing fab huni and have got through so much in the past 2 and half days already. Bring on more smokefree, fab smelling, happy days!!!
Well done Lyds You've got off to a great start there!!
I know exactly what you mean about the thought not leaving. Smoking is never very far from my mind still, but I am noticing longer and longer gaps between thoughts now.
Having said that, I do still get the (very) occasional crave...but certainly nowhere near the level of intensity they were in the early days!
Just read these!! Think all u lot are amazing!!! And with your encouraging words really help me to remember I'm not alone n others are feeling and thinking just like me!!!
Thanks all for your kind words, encouragement and support. Really does help. Xxxxxxx
Well done lyds you are right it's all in the mind (habit) been over 10 months for me ,but you sound like your in the right frame of mind,stay strong ,and good luck
