The urge is strong.

But hanging on,

To the better times ahead.

So all in all a early night, tucked up in my bed.

Tomorrow a new day. So hoping it's a good one

Week or s, but not counting , as for me at least, I find it easier just to keep going, but the munchies are kicking in.

Very wise there Tracey3.

When craving's hunger bites

It's best to climb the wooden hill

And say to all, "goodnight!"

Thats it Tracey, do whatever it takes to get you through these early days....

If you are into it, would suggest listening to your favourite music when the cravings are bad or do something you really enjoy doing......

Like it.

I don't know how long I've been stoping.probably 5 weeks.lost count.

Plus I did smoke 3 sigs but binned 7.so I think I'm gonna pretend I didn't smoke the 3.

Is that bad.ha(was all in a couple of hours)

But were doing well

Take care

Keep kicking
