Congratulations! I suggest that you print out as much of the program tools and workbook as you can and take it with you. Also, write down all your reasons for quitting, ideas for coping with triggers, and so on. Take a little notebook to journal in. Keep your "I Don't Smoke" hat on! You can do it -- you've gotten this far and you don't want to throw away 5 days of hard work. Good luck!

Bazz, You need to come up with a plan! When a craving sets in, think about what are you going to do or what you can do to not give in! Try writing down some coping techniques to particular scenarios. For example, the house is clean there is nothing to do and the cravings kicks in. You have already eaten and you are in a state of panic. Try leaving the house, go for a walk, call a friend, jump on the site, have a shower. Anything that takes your mind off of temptation is beneficial. Quitting smoking is not easy and that is why we are here! We are here to help you learn on how to quit smoking and be successful. You can do this! Keep us posted and be sure to jump back on the site to let us know how you have coped with your cravings. We all learn from each other! Take care and congrats on 1 week of quitting smoking :).
