Why in my head does it seem as its a constant battle between having a fag and not having a fag it would be so nice just to have something different to think about it seems its a constant struggle to get through 1 min 1 hour 1 day but I am doing it slowly but surely

It is tough at the beginning, but try and hang in there as it does get easier☺️
Think about how much healthier you are going to be, what you are going to spend the money that you are not spending on cigarettes👍👍
Have a read of some of the pinned posts as these will help you.
The Allan Carr easy way to quit book is a worthwhile read as it challenges your thinking. This can be downloaded as a free pdf just google it.
Keep reminding yourself why you are quitting☺️☺️☺️
You are doing really well..😀😀
Hi Donesmokin and a BIG Yippeeeeee Dippyyyyyy Dooooooo 1 week Winner today Huge congratulations to you am dead PROUD of ya
Like our lovely Glolin has said, I think your going through the hardest time of your quit journey at the moment but it will get easier for you soon I've just bumped up a post for you to read - '' Little sweet angel and little red devil ''
Donesmokin, your doing ever sooooo well just you remember NOPE, Not One Puff Ever
Pete
Like GloLin has said you're doing really well. Most of us find that all we can think about is smoking, but this does get less the longer your quit. Have a few snacks around the house (fruit nuts etc. ) nibble on those when you get the urge to smoke.
Take care xxx
Hi Sweetpea its lovely to see you
How's you doing Jillygirl I hope your getting back to yourself now
You take care now and see ya soon xxx
Hello Pete, How is my favourite fella doing?

Hopefully have a bit more hair than I have now.
Cant tell what colour it is yet. Looks more like a well worn scrubbing
brush at the moment.
You look after you. love ya. xxxxxx
Hey Donesmoking,
Well done on your first week, what a great achievement. You're right to take it one minute, one hour, one day at a time. Baby steps..... You'll soon be running!
First week is tough - no doubt about it. Good advice above. Also deep breathing and/or exercise helped me.
Great advice from everyone 😊
You're doing great as will said breathing exercises are great also getting in all the lovely fresh air instead of all the chemicals from cigarettes.
You can do this 👍
Xx
YOU can do this! Don't give in. Keep coming here and read the stuff to the right. It's so harmful and tricky!
Good luck and know you have a huge support team here!
Busy yourself? Read? Workout? Walk!!! The walks have been my best friend. Then after I'm done I'm not weezing and my chest feels so good!
🤗🚭👍🏼
It's very normal to have that constant battle but well worth fighting to win the war👍🏼and you're winning yeah👏🏼😊x
It's worth reading the Alan Carr book on stopping smoking. I read it years ago and it did nothing but now I really want to quit I read it again last weekend and it really helps u reframe ur thoughts about quitting and to be positive about it. Worth a read. He says not to use nrt which I couldn't do Iv got patches and gum but I found his psychology of it all very useful.
Worth a read and u can get it free if u google it and doesn't take long to read

Hi donesmokin
I often think about cigarettes but I always think of how my body is healing and I like that better. I don't want to go through that awful withdrawal again because I know if I light up I'll just want to quit again and then I'll have to suffer through withdrawal symptoms again. Not fun. I got really sick and now I'm finding not lighting up and cravings easier to deal with
Hang in there🍀
