Hi Luce and a big welcome to Quit Support. Are you using any Nicotine replacement eg patches, sprays gum or lozenges etc. These are all geared for helping through the early days of quitting. many members are using the Ecig as an alternative . What i can tell you is..that it does get easier.

You are almost through the first week :) :) :) ...Stay strong....Have a look at some the info on the right hand side of the screen under the topics heading.

Drinking lots of water helps as it helps flush out toxins....go for a walk..do things to take you mind off the dreaded cigarette... do some breathing exercised to relax you- (instructions under the All things quit support) topic.

You have made the best decision you can for your own health...hang in there :) :)

Hiya Luce and welcome to quit support :)

Congratulations on your 6 days quit, well done :)

It's only natural to miss your cig, it's that hand to mouth action that we did so much of. I remember someone on here saying they used a cinnamon stick to help them :)

It takes a bit of time to train our brain but it will get easier for you :)

Chewing gum or sucking mints will also help so stay positive and be very proud of your achievement, nearly your first week which is terrific ) x

Soooo, you should be proud of yourself, cos I tell you gal, quitting the cigs is by no means an easy task :o I know that, we all know that :o cos we are all in the same boat as you are Luce, maybe at different stages, but we are or have been where you are now :)

You just think Luce, that flippin mr cig has been the boss of you for sooooooooo long gal :o now its your turn to be the flippin boss of him :) :) cos you've put your foot down this time and its flippin staying down too :) :) When that mr cig comes a calling at the front door, welcome him in, then show him the back door and kindly guide him out with a big smile on your face and with your head held high :) :)
