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!?!

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!
Lol!!! I like that but might try that one this afternoon...after have been to sleep! just heading for bed now! Cravings are there but too tired to care! My fight will be when I wake up! Stocked up on oj yesterday so gonna try avoid the coffee amd smoke combo! Enjoy your day incy! Xx

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:
Woo hoo what an achievement the longest you have ever gone without a cig since you started smoking? That's flipping amazing, well done and keep going flower xx
