Ooh, I didn't see your last post, did you have a meltdown?? Most of us do at some point and that's the great thing about this site, no-one judges if you're having a sound off. Have a great weekend 😁

Hi J - no need to apologise, i suspect all on this site have had their fair share of tantrums, so do you what you need to as long as you dont smoke. I think its probably a combo of Mr Nic urging you to feel that your loved ones are nasty and you deserve a cig and your loved ones being tentative, but i think you should accept that they would be thrilled if you successfully quit. I had made so many prmises in the past and this time decided not to tell anyone, but we all have our own approach. Good luck with your quit, you are doing great.

NOPE

I'm dreading 3 weeks... BUT I'm going to take it one day at a time. And I know that one day I won't need to take it one day at a time (if you see what I mean)

Hi Pete, and thanks for the message. I had my last smoke last Tuesday at 8.30pm so not sure if my quit date was Tuesday or Wednesday... Driver for quitting was an operation on my wrist (fractured scaphoid) for which the success rate is significantly lower for smokers. Best, Marcus

Hi Marcus welcome to the forum. Guess u are doing cold turkey? Well done on getting to day 4 ur doing brilliantly 😀

Cold turkey involves three days of enduring the unique experience of physical nicotine withdrawal, getting to day 4 and realising you've come out the other side. For me, patches, gum, spray etc are just alternative nicotine delivery systems and just rolong the quitting process. But that's my experience, and I realise that different methods work for different people.

sorry, should have said "prolong" (obviously!)
