    :H.. yep it certainly feels good to not be smoking.. no more guilt! - I used to feel so bad going on the balcony to have a smoke whilst my son watched me from inside through the window.. now I can give up before he is older and more aware - i dont want him telling me off!

      Day 3! 45 ciggies not smoked and ?18.63 not spent....

      Woke up this morn...chest and back of my throat very sore when I breathe in deeply...
      Slept very well tho.
      Didn't have a huge craving this morning to be honest....maybe that is because I KNOW it would hurt to physically to smoke as my chest is sore ...eitherway I don't feel like smoking.

      Spud, stop worrying over that roll up, use it as a learning curve to wait out the craving..you are doing great hon.

      Katie...you are not smoking, whether you use patches, inhalers, whatever..it does not matter..YOU ARE NOT SMOKING! WHOOHOOO!

      Looking forward to hearing how the rest of you are.

      I am looking forward to a smoke free, alcohol free weekend.....

      LIFE IS GOOD...

              I was wondering what different people felt about the various aids to stop smoking.

              - gum
              - patches
              - lozenges
              - spray

              What have you found to work best to help with cravings?

              Starty has something like 500 pieces of gum left. Maybe I can get some stock off her

                OK. Target for today: 15 ciggies.

                I was just about to get up and go outside. Why? Because that's what I do at 10.50 every morning. So I'm going to have a walk over to the water cooler and try to catch some corporate gossip.

                  I say do whatever works Tipps...whatever keeps you from smoking...A lot of my friends gave up with the gum and a few others with the patches....I have lozenges if you want to try them...trial and error....

                      yay tipps.. good on ya. i have lozenges, never tried anything else, never really tried to give up before as i never thought i smoked much (oh my lying brain). not sure if they work, i think the fact that i get the packet and put one in my mouth and suck means i have decided not to have that smoke, more of a mind thing i think.. though my mind let me down yesterday.. i sucked it and then spat it out and then inhaled.... silly silly me (at least i didnt smoke and suck)
                      Today is the tomorrow i worried about yesterday and it turned out fine

                        Just another observation: for those contemplating meds like Wellbutrin (Zyban) - be very careful. I was prescribed Wellbutrin for depression. It did absolutely nothing for either my smoking or my depression, but I went through some seriously weird sh*t... 72 hours without sleep, agression like you cannot believe, disorientation... bad, bad idea!

                        Even though it statistically has the highest long-term success rate, I'd rather try other approaches instead.

                          Stronger caravings this afternoon....under stress from the kids and the thought briefly swept my mind...ohh a smoke would be great now.....

                          But they passed...

                          How are you doing Wanna and K9?

                              19 cigarettes NOT smoked since I quit....

                              Went through the craving this morning as that was normally my motivation to get out of bed...LOL

                              Last night was okay. Had thoughts of caving in this weekend, but I don't plan to!

                              My breathing is getting much easier, I was starting to have weird pains in my throat, but that has gone away since I quit. I can smell better, so I rewarded myself with a nice new candle

                              How are you doing Wanna??
                              :heart:I love my daughter more than alcohol:heart:

                              Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you think.

                                Congratulations to all of you that have decided to quit! :goodjob:

                                This last time when I quit (the quit I decided would be THE QUIT), I educated myself on all the aspects of smoking: what smoking actually does to us physically & mentally.... what to expect when quitting... and probably one of the most important things: how to handle cravings.

                                Keep focused you guys...you can do this!! :l

                                and always remember, A CRAVING IS NOT A COMMAND.
