Hey your doing amazing. Couple more days and you have done the week from hell. I feel like a different person today. Yesterday was a good day too. So there is hope it gets easier I just proved it. I know I will have bad days_( done this quitting marlarkey too many times) so know I will. You will too. They say it takes 28 days to kick a habit. Thats my next milestone now Iv done a week. Quitting I think consumes your life for the first week. Its all you can think about. Yesterday I got my life back and it only entered my head a few times.

Laura6 has hit the nail on the head - it "consumes your life for the first week". It feels like it is never going to go away but it gradually does so keep the faith and congratulate yourself on what you've done. Many people don't make it to three days.

Well done miranda45 - I remember that feeling so well of wishing my life away for the first month, I promise it does fly by after this - have little treats lined up for your 1 week and 1 month milestone which will spur you on.

And as always, continue to post :)
