Morning Day 4. Thanks Oney! I don't feel fantastic yet. I'm still at "Oh shite, I want a smoke". How are you doing EW? The sleep fairy did not come last night-even though I was VERY tired. I'm having my one cup of coffee this morning and then a quick shower-so I can put on the nicotine patch. I feel a bit blah today. Hopefully, when I get busy I can just float along with the day. Congrats on 8 months Oney !!!

No More Butts...The Beginning..
Thanks for the support! I'm feeling better already after walking my son to school. It's very grey but no rain--and not cold at all! That lifted my spirits because I HATE the cold! I've figured out my three big trouble spots are--the morning just when I wake up, around 3pm and when I get home from work. So I am working on changing my habits at those times and doing something enjoyable. For example, in the morning before the kids wake up I'd usually lock myself in the kitchen with the window open and drink coffee, smoke and listen to the news on the radio. I don't need to tell everyone that 99.9% of the news is bloody depressing! So I need to change that. It's not that I'm not concerned about what's going on in the world but to be hit with it right away in the morning is a bit too much right now. So maybe some nice music by our bay window and watch the world wake up as I sip my coffee. With a nice scented candle lit. HMMM...sounds almost too peaceful. I'd probably want to go back to bed:H. Check in EW!!!!

Sounds like a much better idea......I am gonna give up listening to the news I think, another member (Chilly I think) gave it up too! Sometimes when I hear or read something, it brings me down for the day and I can't shake it.."It's not your job to like me, it's mine!"

Just had a good read on this thread....brilliant.I'm on day 4 today and feeling good, pangs are pretty strong every now and then but I have my patch on and for double support have got the Niquitin tabs, the best thing about stopping smoking is I have no cravings for the wine Yipee!!Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

cool to find this thread. i quit smoking about five days ago, but picked up again after some dude let me down. arg. i realize i was partly fueled to stop because he found it so repulsive. but now i find him a bit repulsive, adn taht was my excuse... so, the lesson is obvious: do it for yourself! i don't smoke much, and i think i'll cut way back, maybe get to one a day (had three today) and then kick it again. it was easy enough last week (the horrible cold and cough helped), so i should be able to do it again. sheesh, if i could just STAY quit. i can. i will. good thread. glad it popped up again.

Wow am on my 8th day and I am really feeling good, had a few cravings over the past few days but nothing to make me want to have one!! Still got my patch on and will carry on with the little tabs as and when needed.......wish they would make a patch for AL, I have been trying to go 30 days without success for almost 12 months! :upset:Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Rock on K9!!! It was HEEEELLLLLLL for me giving up the smokes, but I SO do not regret it. For me, the first 100 days were sheer torture, but then it started getting a little easier. And now I never think of smoking, and I haven't for a very very long time. 100 days might sound like an eternity now, but it's really not in the grand scheme of this. Any short term pain is more than offset by the long term gain IMO.
HANG IN THERE!!!
