Hey Beb, I know it is really hard to begin with but honestly everyone in here is a resource and use them This quit for me is so different than the the rest. Read through the thousands of posts and success stories and you will be good to go. I have found this time I have joined a gym and I am drinking crazy amounts of water which I think is flushing all the crap out of my body and making this so much easier. I started out on the patch then on day 3 I said to myself I dont need this I can do it. May not be the answer for everyone but it sure was with me. Keep your self busy and kick the evil nicodemon to the curb. Think about how healthier you will be and how you wont stink anymore. I am over a week into my quit and cannot beleive how stinky a smoker is - that used to be me and I cant beleive how badly is effected my senses. I taste and smell things x1000. Coffee is actually gross to me now and water is my new friend. Best of luck to you and remember we are all here for you

Danielle, I did get your msg and I'm still hanging in this is my second day, I find myself a little edgy today. I'm glad the weekend is coming up. I read alot of the msg and find they help alot. I explained the site to my daughter last night and she was very glad that I'm trying to quit and very pleased that I'm working with people on this site that understand what I'm going through and that can help me get through it.

my friend, just relax and take it easy, don't stress urself on the quitting. Use this site, relax urself, whenever ur craving for one,just walk around in the office and talk to anyone about anything.. that's waht i do? just don't care... for a while though... but make sure u let people know that u've stopped smoking (or trying to quit)..(though psychologically if u constantly think that u've stopped smoking u can actually control ur cravings).. wish u all the best... will be around... try to go cold turkey...

Congrats man.. the first day is quite tough, but sure you'll get over it.. check the web site often, read, post, do whatever you can, distract yourself.. Just don't let go, if you feel u're not able to make it, then just post again, start writing immediately.. works well for me.. Take how tea with lots of milk.. or have some honey... Above all else, be proud of yourself.. that's the best decision that a person can take, "QUIT SMOKING". ain't i right BEB. we are the best, we can stop, and we don't need this crap anymore... Take care Shajad PS: u guys from where..

Beb, Welcome! You will find that this is an amazing place. I was sooo nervous, I pushed back my quit date twice. Then last week, just said "what am I waiting for" and took the plunge. Use the tools on this site, post and read often. I never would have made it without the support here. We're here for you!

Break time ideas: take a break with someone you like & talk, call your children or grandchildren, read a book, have a snack, read the ssc & post, put your head back and rest, go to the restroom and freshen up your make up and spray some 'smell good' on you

It's okay to eat a little more on the first days of quitting, it really helps to drink a lot of water and chew on cinnamon sticks. You can do this ... one hour, one day at a time !
