9 weeks today the first two weeks was hell I'm still craving but not as bad. I just started really hating smoking it was just making me sick to my stomach. Knowing them things had more power over me no more I am so done. Good luck to all

Welcome to our community nikkitk123 and congratulations on 9 weeks quit (over 50 days!) quit, well done!

I take you are going cold turkey? I too quit cold turkey 21 months ago tomorrow and never looked back - like you, I really detest smoking and the smell of smoke turns my stomach - hold on that thought especially on bad days - wishing you continued strength and success and look forward to reading your updates :)

Great mindset and attitude nikkitk123 - yeah, night time is definitely tough as we wind down so time to think, then the mind starts playing tricks on us but as each day passes the stronger we become to deal with time.

Excellent comment below, knowledge is key and provides so much power in our quits!
