Day 5 already

[nsd_user663_63741]

After the horrendous day 3 and slightly easier day 4 here I am already in day 5 feeling a little more positive. Mornings seem to be the worst times for me I gradually feel better as the day moves on. So I am delaying my first coffee which I have always had with cigarette in hand and drinking water with my breakfast instead. I don't associate water with smoking so I hope this works. It's 11.15am in Spain and I am now going to have a decaf coffee my first today. Hope it doesn't bring on a nasty crave. I live in the campo in Spain a long way from shops so that in itself is a godsend, have to get the car out and drive 15 minutes to buy cigs plenty of time to talk myself out of succumbing.

Wow day 5 - funny how other people's quits seem to go much faster than my own!

Water has been working for me, Spanisheyes. I hardly ever drank it before, now I'm on gallons a day...

I hope you have a good smoke-free day out there

So glad to see you back Spanish, I'm waiting for my Lemon Drizzle cake

Just kidding, great to see you still quit but don't disappear when it gets tough, that's exactly the time to be posting

A change of routine and habit will help you break those associations and water is a good start to the day anyway

Enjoy the highs, hang on during the lows and it will start to get better. Not long now and you'll have done a whole week!

You're doing this! \0/.

Well done Spanish Eyes. Almost a week completed You'll get to that. Have you tried orange juice? Cigarettes just don't mix with it. I've cut out my wake-up coffee for now.

Spanish, I am just a few days ahead of you (Day 10 here!) and feel so much in common with you... For me too mornings are the most difficult, and I have also delayed my coffee. I now drink green tea with breakfast (for me, not a trigger at all, and it feels really good first thing in the morning instead of plain water), and make coffee about 1 to 2 hours after waking up. I dreaded coffee because it's the biggest trigger for me, but now I actually find it helpful.

Hang in there. I have no idea how I went through nine days without smoking, but I did... and you can too! It is easier now.
