Hi all, firstly well done to everyone on here for doing so well, am so envious of you all being further on than me!!! Am just about to head to the land of nod after day 3!!! Have just had a really bad time this evening, crying and arguing with my mum cos she just doesnt understand why i am being a bit tetchy!!...oh and to top it off, then spent half an hour searching my apartment high and low for that elusive cigarette that MAY have fallen out of a packet into one of my numerous handbags...but of course, as i have been planning for a while to stop-for a third time-i have made certain that there are no smokes at all, what so ever, anywhere....thank god!!....Because after franticaly pulling out the contents of my closet onto my floor, and wiping away the streaks of mascara that have made their way down my face i logged onto the internet and randomly found this site and have since spent the last hour and a half on here and now feel much calmer!, so only thought it right to say hi and thank you!!!!
Hey everyone, thank you so much for all the lovely comments and making me feel welcome it has made such a difference to know that i am not alone with this!! I decided today to buy a nicotine inhaler....had enough of the crying, being vile to my family etc and am pleased to report have had a fab day, and the cravings have not been to drastic either....and i was in the company of another smoker at one point too and that wasnt too bad, although dont want to lull myself into that false sense of security too soon!
Well am just off to sleep now and yippee have made it thru day four!!! Fingers crossed for another good day tomorrow, Thanks again for the support and will deft be back real soon. take care everyone, jo

I am still a newbie and really surprised to have not gained any weight.....I quit once before for over two years and didnt gain any then either, I think this is mostly to do with lots of gum chewing and lots of lengthy gym sessions! I have always been a gym bunny but since I quit have gone from struggling to jog 2 miles to being on the treadmill for an hour and running for 7 miles (this is just my warm up!!), and I love being able to really see how my health is improving in such a short space of time!! However, even if i did gain weight, then at least I would not be smoking......better to gain weight and have healthy lungs and heart than be a skinny smoker killing myself!!

how are you doing?? I am also a newbie here and not too far ahead of you, and i promise it does get easier and easier.....yes you still think about smoking but it becomes less and the cravings not quite so intense, and the sleepless nights will also pass (my first week really was tough for that!!)!! The first few days really are the worst and am sure by now you are looking forward to being able to say proudly you have not smoked for one whole week-its an amazing feeling!!-and you can also enjoy that reward you promised yourself!!
Keep strong and smoke free, your doing gr8 fr8!!

I picked the day after my birthday to quit....I had set this date around five / six months ago so I had plenty of time to get my head round things!! I was also on a weeks break from work which was the best move for me....I work in the service industry and I was sooooooo vile on the first 3-4 days I think I probably would have lost my job!?!, by the time I went back the worst of my moods were over!!
Good luck with deciding your quit date and let us know how your doin, this place is FANTASTIC and the advice on here priceless, read and post and work thru your program and know that you have lots of support here from people who know exactly what yr going thru x x

am sorry to hear your not feeling to good. Although I am a long way behing you with my quit I know exactly what you mean about feeling depressed and I too feel as though my little happy ray of sunshine has set, and with work am so ready to quit the job which I have loved for ten years!! I quit cold turkey and not sure if this is just how it is coming of the smokes or if there is another reason for me feeling sad!!....However I find that when I feel really bad I am enjoying some time out on my own (usually watching my fave tv show for a while with my feline friend on my lap just relaxing) or going off to the gym or of course signing on here!!!!
Penny you have done sooooo very well and you give all us newbies so much inspiration to keep going with our quit, you are a now a non smoker and have really proved you can do this so please please keep hanging tough, be strong and feel very proud of every minute of your 108 smoke free days! please keep us informed of how your doing and am very sure you will receive lots of kind words and advice from all those who are much further ahead with their quit and have much more experience with these feelings than i do!!! Just know that I really am rooting for you and hope that you can work thru this hard time.....good luck penny and stay close to the site x x NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE x x
