First 30 hours :)

[Blonde Alexa]

Good Girl, Alx, keep at it !!!!

My first three days were absolute, abject hell lol.. Thanks for asking xx

The urge to smoke would overcome me every 20 minutes or so, to such degree that eventhough I was having lunch with my "smoke quitting buddy" , I could not hear a word he was saying.. It would last ten minutes or so, then I'd be back to normal until the next attack hit about 20mins later. First three days = hell.. Especially in the car.. I came to realize that the majority of my cigarettes I smoked even without being conscious of them.. just a very deeply ingrained habit..

I was told to hang inthere for 21 days, and then it will be easier. Sure enough, at 21 days it was like somebody threw a switch : I no longer had any desire to smoke.. Haven't smoked since, but for a very long time I still had dreams where I was happily puffing away, and then in my dream panic would hit at the thought of having to quit--again..

I wouldn't have been able to quit except for having a buddy along for the adventure. I am competitive, and there was no way that he would quit smoking and I would fail !! So patches and a very healthy dose of willpower did the trick

Alx, first three days are hardest xx stick with it, it gets easier xx Good luck, Girl xx

I understand perfectly what you mean about the 20min... my biggest test was coffee this morning with no cigarette and after that in the afternoon sometime my second coffee , staying outside at a coffee shop (how i usually do so i can smoke) and i am proud to say that i passed the test no cigarette .. i think it's becoming a competition with myself

Thank you everyone for suporting me

Kisses

Through Monday to Friday, I do great, but come the weekend, when out with friends, especially in a bar or club, I find it nigh on impossible not to have a smoke, and the cycle continues.

Imagine the amount of money I'd save, maybe I should use that has a inspiration, hehe. :3

Just dreadful. I had many first days but eventually kicked the habit and it was the best thing I ever did.

just hit the 30 hour mark myself and feel like sh1t,

smoking nearly 30 years and have gone cold turkey this time as have spent a small fortune before on patches, filter, so this time just gonna sweat it out

and I literally mean Sweat it out, have been sweating buckets all day, fingers twitching , have to keep cracking my knuckles, and have gone through 2kg of toffee' , 1 litre of choclate icecream, 2 packs of caramel digestives and have now started on the whiskey to help me get to sleep

but I am gonna stick to it

Congratulations Alexa for starting the process. I really hope you manage to stay off them. I am reliably told that it is one of the hardest habits to quit, so am always impressed when someone manages to do so. Best of luck.
