Day 1

I caused a major upset in the Army when I posted Day 1 this morning - I meant ciggies, many assumed booze. I got to Day 5 last week, then fell off the horse/bus/wagon/whatever over the weekend. So, I'll post my NF days here.

Moss, I started and ended all tasks with a ciggie, no to mention the "thinking while smoking breaks" in between - I work from home, so don't even have to leave my desk to smoke.

Dream, glad to have you here

Now that I have over a month cig-free it's gotten much easier. Most times the idea of a smoke repulses me-- I remember the anxiety, the yucky smell, the trouble breathing, more than I do the formerly-good taste and buzz. I was pretty much the last one of my friends to quit-- last man standing... Everyone else had given it up long ago and they've all been really happy that I'm finally on board.

Day 37 cig-free

Dream...I had to laugh at you getting the Army's knickers in a knot :H At least WE know what you are referring to! I used it as my "thinking" time too. The dumb part for me is that I spend so much time trying to take care of my body and skin, then I sit down and do the WORST thing possible. It makes no sense. I guess the saying is true about the mind being strong but the flesh being weak. We know better, but we do it anyway.

That said, I am 13 hours smoke free.

Skull is blazing the path for us!!

Lead--Day 2

Slight difference........but not agitated like I was anticipating. Appreciable difference in my lungs already.

Long sleep yet interrupted thrice...thats OK..still got 12 hrs.

How long does brain fuzz stay with me? Any of you folks have experience with this? I was pk/day for 35 yrs

Lead - last night I woke up twice as opposed to my normal once (I drink A LOT of water...LOL), not sure if it had anything to do with lack of nicotine. Give it a few days and I'm sure you'll be back on track. What are you doing to fill in your smoking time? The psycological addiction is my big problem.

Day 38 cig free for me.

K9, are you back on the horse with us then??

Lead- I found that the brain fuzz lifts around the 3rd or 4th day.

Good luck you two!

K9- I know how it is, I can sympathize. When you're having tough days, can you do the gum/lozenge to get past the mental craving?

Skull- Day 44 cig-free

Day 45 cig-free, and beginning to ramp down the nicandies from 4mg to 2mg. I bought too many and I don't think I'll use all of them before I'm done... as I'm starting to reach for them a bit less now.
