Day 3- feeling like i want to punch someone but at the same time feel fine.

[nsd_user663_40088]

Hello Folks. So im now in day 3 (thank you Jesus) once i hit my 72 hours and nicotine free the really healing can begin. Im feeling abit more moody than yesterday but im in control of how im feeling and im not feeling irrational. At the moment i miss having a cigarette but i have to keep reminding myself that:

In order to quit, you actually have to quit.

There wont come a day i dont want to smoke unless i actually stop smoking

And, I will always crave a cigarette so long as I smoke. Craving will only go once my body learns a cigarette wont be coming.

This first week is a pig, the first 3 weeks are annoying and the first 3 months are eye opening. I have been here before and luckily armed with experience. Im trying not to think but just do....so far im working and sleeping. that is it lol going shopping on saturday and going to treat myself xxxx

Hi Nikki

You know where you're at don't you! It's great that you're armed and ready. What you said there "In order to quit, you actually have to quit" really spoke to me - I remember countless times convincing myself that I wasn't really a smoker any more just because I was denying myself SOME of the time. And then finding myself back to 20 a day again...SO true, the only way to quit is to, well, do it!

Thanks for reminding me of all that. I'm 6 months in and sometimes feeling it would be alright to have one. I know it's not true. Madness, that's what it is! Anyway we'll all stay strong together eh? Good luck Nikki, and treat yourself royally come the weekend! x
