hi Kathyd7192
good morning (I think )
welcome to our little family 😁
day 3 well done
you will be on edge
but you can get through.
try keep busy.change your routine and don't think of "not smoking" the more you think I would be or I usually have a fag now will make it more worse.
you have took a massive step.
make it a mile then follow the road trying to avoid the many pitfalls.
you can do this 😁
take care 😊
keep kicking 😎
Thank you! Gotta get ready for work now. Another challenge. Stay with me!!! Lol

Hang in there, day 3 is rotten, we've all been there 😛 drink loads of water. I mean buckets between drinking it and the trips to the toilet you'll get distracted - just messing! Water is good, the more you drink the faster you get rid of the nicotine in your system. Also, if you're hydrated properly you won't get half the cravings, it's worth to try.
I used to read a lot, knowledge is power, the more you know about this addiction the better prepared you'll be to fight it
Just relax, take one hour at the time, it will be ok, you can make it xxx
Stay strong!
Oh thank thank u !! Im patched but its not doing much thats for sure. I have to go to work in a few hours so i can b distracted. Ughhh stay woth me!! Lol

Huge welcome Kathyd7192 to our community and congratulations on Day 3. Are you quitting cold turkey? If so, the nicotine will be gone out of your system by tomorrow.
See below and perhaps read through the pinned posts across this page that may be of help to you.

Post as often as you need to, we will be here for you, you can do this, stay strong 
Thank u! U guys just got me to calm down! Matbe this will work for me! Alot of venting and complaining coming your way 😩
Whoop whoop! Vent away I remember well my days, I'm surprised I managed to quit without murdering anyone in the process, often crossed my mind LOL
From crawling up the walls to being a complete lunatic, at some stage I actually thought I was losing it!
It will all be fine, treasure those memories, they will keep you away from lightening up ever again.
You can do it, 3 days almost down, bring on number 4 💪
Yes! Im losing it!!! !! Ok. I wont panic. But i am! I thought the patches helped with this?? Maybe its not the cigs and i need to be tranquilized right now 🤔 Is this how u felt? My Lack of focus is making me panic. And i hate this! Ahhh thanks for listening!!!!
And day 4 is over😅
Congratulations! Here's to another battle won, you will win the war in the end too
It's desperate! That's why now everytime I think about smoking I think again about going through the first days again, I don't think I could do it again... That alone keeps me away from relapsing.
You are strong, the worst is gone past, get enough sleep, sleep is actually a really good strategy for the first weeks. Good luck today!

Ok. No thoughts. No thoughts. No thoughts. Thanks!
Post as often as you need to Kathyd7192 , even if it is just to vent and not making sense, it will pass a craving, I promise No one will pass any remarks as we all have been there - I am over 13 months quit cold turkey and never looked back, you can do it!!
Im so happy😁 I made it through day 3!! Thanks to u guys' help! Wow what a tough one. Hope day 4 is a little better.
Great Kathyd7192 , well done! The mental recovery has now begun now as your brain begins to re-wire after all the toxins put into your body need to be cleared out, it is a slow process but good news, for every day that passes by, the better you will feel, have faith that you can do it as you can and be ready to attack and fight at all times, and as always stay close to us
Vent! 😩 Omg this mental fog is making me crazy! Trying to learn something (so simple) at this new job is impossible! Brain is short circuiting. Its making me so paranoid and upset that it makes the fog even worse! IS IT THIS BAD FOR EVERYONE??? I FEEL LIKE A N IDIOT!! But i havent smoked over it, the pay is not worth it!!! Ughhhh.

Hello Kathyd7192 and welcome.
I am a bit late but I hope today at work went OK.
Hope you are doing OK this evening. When it got difficult for me at night I would go to bed early as it was the only place I did not think about smoking!
Stick with it. It is worth the grief of the early days and the pay-off you will get from quitting is huge.
☺☺
Thank u! If only i could sleep it away. Thats another problem since my hrs now are 4-midnite. Ill adjust im sure. Thanks for the reply!
If you want to give it a try - it does work, I promise you! - get green tea extract supplement and magnesium powder, take them before going to bed, you'll sleep like an an angel

Hello Kathyd7192 , welcome to the forum!
Day three is awful...and in fact most of the first week is in my experience! It does get easier, honestly.
Hope you're doing ok after work. One good way to get away from it if the cravings become too much is to go to bed early. It's a simple solution but it works.
Please keep us posted and we'll try to help if we can. A lot of us here are in different time zones to you (most in Europe) so don't be downhearted if you don't get a quick reply.
Nine months! Good for you! Thank for the support. Wish i could sleep right thru to day 8! Ill b sure to keep u posted ad i might be posting in with an SOS on day 4!
Hope you made it through OK. At the beginning of the quit you get quite a few tests but the more you persevere the easier it gets, then before you know it you are going a few days at a time without even thinking about it.
Goodluck
