Hiya Sarah and a big warm welcome to quit support😊

Congratulations on 7 days quit, brilliant👍

Everyone is different and some side effects you may or may not get. The best way is to take each day at a time and keep busy. Drink lots of water and use some of the breathing excercises on the right of this page. Distract yourself from any cravings you get by getting up and moving around. Lots of friendly people here to help you which really is fantastic. Just wondering if you are using any nicotine replacement or are you cold turkey? The good thing is any side effects will pass and it really will all be worth it. Stay positive and you can do it😊x

Hi Sarah020476, thats just fantastic you've made it to your 7th day quit and a big warm welcome to our lovely community

I see you've had loads of help and support from some of our lovely members already and all I can add to that is, you say the second week will be harder but, perhaps it is for some cos you tend to drop your guard a little bit eh then, WHAM, mr nic is at you

So please Sarah, try to keep focused and positive and flippin hold your head up high and be PROUD of yourself

You come a shouting if you need anything

Well done on getting to 1 week👍. Like people have said everyone is different and week 2 can be trying😕.

But saying that for me it got me to rethink how I was going to approach my quit. I am only losing 1 thing and that's those horrid little white sticks😠 but I am gaining so much in return😆😊😁

Take care and pop on anytime for anything there is always someone around Debby xx

Hi Sarah, well done on making the fab decision to quit you've done really well getting through the first seven days but yes there will be tricky days to come. I got through these by keeping a list on my phone of exactly why I was quitting. Every time I felt tempted I looked at the list and weighed up which I wanted more, my reasons for stopping or a ciggy. That coupled with the amazing support on this site has got me this far and I'm sure we can get you through too good luck and stay strong x
