Have a good sleep.... you are half way thru  HELL WEEK  7 days.. then HECK WEEK...... and it does get easier  it really does..  BUT  you will have up's and down's for awhile...  I did pretty good.. and for a few days.. before a "milestone" would have some pretty strong urges..
 
Once you get the hang of the site.. poke around here ... there is MY program and Tools and Resources.. they are here to HELP you.  
 
and  remember 2 RULES:
 
1.   GET ON THIS SITE  AND  yell  HELP  wait for at least  3 to 5 replies ..... someone will be along shortly to help you... scold you , coddle you, send you a hug or a "shake".   
 
2.  remember   N (Not) One (One) P (Puff) E (Ever)  NOPE...  one puff will lead me right back to a pack a day.. there is NO SUCH thing as ONE puff or one cigarette..  it's a bit tuff ... but it works.
 
 
It takes 21 days to change a habit.   it will take about 6 months for your brain to start making dopamine..   The Nico Demon is NOT  stupid.. the nicotine  shuts off the dopamine. so nicotine can make you feel good.. and not your own brain...
 
So please hang in there..  this is doable.... Bonnie

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!!!!
