New here...3 days no smokes

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 12

Hi Silver74. I am new here too and also on Wellbutrin and the patch. I am definitely having cravings and withdrawal. I guess it's normal! I assumed it would be a milder experience but from reading this board it seems that the first week is pretty uncomfortable for everyone. Certain triggers I anticipate but the cravings that kind of pop up out of the middle of nowhere are really getting to me. So far deep breathing with the aid of a cut off straw, gum and hard candy are helping. I wish you the best of luck!

Hell week is right! But so worthwhile -- because you're worth it. Three days leads to 4 days which leads to 5 days and on and on. Before you know it, you'll realize you've gone hours without thinking about those nasty smokes, then a whole day. It will happen. Trust yourself that you've made the right decision and that you know there will be painful moments. But keep focusing on your reasons for becoming a nonsmoker. Every time you have a craving, remind yourself what it means: that you have been a slave to nicotine. No more -- now you're choosing freedom! Go get 'em!

Pinkie, I drank alot of hot tea the first week. It comes in lot's of flavor's and it took time to heat up the tea pot and pick out the tea...it's was a great distraction for me. Just an idea to get you through.

Hi-Ho, Silver! (I always wanted to say that, but I'm not calling you [or anyone] a ho. It's Hi-Ho, not Hi, Ho!) You're doing great -- 3 days with no slips means the nicotine is out of your system -- everything else is now head games. You can win. peteg [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 10/30/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 37 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,892 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $203.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 55 [B]Seconds:[/B] 51

Silver74, Keep in mind that no matter how many NRT's you use, you will experience cravings. There not much fun but they do pass. Also your not only withdrawing from nicotine but all the other chemicals in cigarettes. This also causes other withdrawal symptoms to occur. Let us help. Tell us what you're struggling with, we can help. We've all been there and are full of tips! Keep persevering! Danielle ______________________ The SSC Support Team

Ahhh Silver, yep totally normal. You are going through hell week. Quitting is different for everyone and I will let you know that I personally had a heck of a time the first couple weeks. From what I've read here when I first quit, its totally normal. Keep strong and come here often. The people here have helped me tremendously and I am here to help you and others! You already have 2 days down and thats such an accomplishment. Take it one day at a time!!
