Day 11

Cravings are much less frequent but intensity remains high. Goes quickly though. Just need to keep distracting myself.

Benefits are clearly very strong and almost immediate! The most remarkable ones are the energy levels AND the flavour in my mouth. Absolutely yum!

So, onwards and upwards. One hour/day at a time. No smokes.

Well done you! Are you going completely cold turkey?

Do you find you are eating more since your taste has returned?

Great job, keep it up. Intenisty of cravings will ever so slowly subside but I'm still feeling them on occassion and wish the would just disappear all together but I understand that can take years. It's a huge mind game we play with ourselves, obviously no one has ever died from quitting so why is it so hard sometimes to just say to yourself, NOPE.

I also am on day 12 cravings in the morning are bad m cold turkey and appetite has not really increased and am not picking yet onwards and upwards

Day 11: Cravings are manageable throughout the day. In the evenings, after work, it gets a little tough. But each day I feel a little bit better. I am also experiencing that feeling of being a passenger in my own life. My moods are also extreme. Which can be fun sometimes. I can go from being very irritated to finding something extremely funny in a short period of time. Silver lining!

Went Cold Turkey on 26 Oct.
