Hey and no wine too. Big test is when I'm back at work tomorrow - if anything kicks off with my clients. But I've got lime juice in the car and mints to keep mymmouth fresh

Well I got through day 2 with no problems. Client was so relaxed just like old self (he has Alzheimer's, wife has dementia). Took wife to pub for tea and stuck with soda & lime. Here's to day 3 -when I used to fall down but not this time. Mind is set. Thanks guys,hercu,mushen and Matt for sticking with me

No smokes and no booze. If I manage to stick with this for one year I may change my name Toni smokes🤣

[CiggieStardust]

Thanks badgio. Don't think I've ever got this far going cold turkey. Start of day 3 and no cravings. Will stay positive. coming to this forum is the best thing I've done. I've found so many friends to help.

Hey CiggieStardust - thrilled for you and delighted to read you are on Day 3, congratulations and huge well done. 17 September is a great day to quit - as I quit 2 years ago cold turkey on 17 September

The nicotine will be out of your system by the end of today and then the mental battle will begin as your body and mind begins its gradual rewiring, repair and recovery - lots and lots of water, fruit and vegetables and a bit of walk every day to clear the head. Continue to post regularly and read up on the pinned posts and other members journey as knowledge is vital in our quits and knowing what is happening and what to expect

Thanks roisin. Find I don't have much time in the day for ecxercise but when I have free time I will do something even if it's just gardening . Unfortunately probs with client today but kept it together and well ooh dear just had 2 bottles wine BUT NO CIGARETTES- Yay achievement for me!!!!!

[CiggieStardust in reply to RoisinO1]

Thanks roisin, you're a good support. Have looked back through previous posts. I think first and foremost i really must give up the smokes. Have had 2 bottles wine tonight and really haven't had any serious cravings for a cigarette. For me in the past smoking and drinking went hand in hand.

[CiggieStardust]

Thanks so much Roisin. But had difficult day today. Really wanted a drink then thought ooh yes and cigarette would be very good too. Decided oh no, no cigarettes. May have some wine though. Wine won. Think if anything smoking will have to go first. Reduce wine on way through. But reduce to 1 Day per week.
