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

Well done on your six days in, all the advice above is spot on in my opinion too.

stay strong you are through the worst of it and the cravings will get less. If you are doing it cold turkey then massive respect to you hun, you are officially AWESOME x

Take it one day at a time......the start is always the hardest but maintaining the quit is key, think of the reasons why you decided to quit and stay motivated....
