So far so good!!! Couple moments where I had to remind myself I've stopped, couple dozen moments where have thought "gimme a smoke to calm me down!!!" but so far its not been hard to ignore them! Bit weird thinking I'm going to sleep through my first milestone but am feeling proud cos its the longest I've ever gone since I started...how shaming is that!?!

Hope everyone has a happy and smoke free day!! And pleased to see few more new members! If any of you read this...keep posting!!! The support is amazing! Everybody has been exactly where you are and we know how hard it is! Stay strong xx

That's great news alleycat, well done.

One thing that helped me through the first few days was reminding myself that it wasn't ME who wanted a cigarette when I got a craving. It was that nasty little addiction-monster who I was working to evict. I even pictured him - I made him really ugly and imagined him living in my brain...call me odd, but man oh man I was determined to kill him!

Wishing you a good day's sleep!

Well done alleycat. Join the club. I'm feeling too close to what you're going through at the moment to offer suggestions. I've actually cut down on coffee though as I want it less now I'm not having a cigarette with it. Great job. :cool:
