Hey everybody! OK, giving this quitting this a try! I need some help! I've quit before, but lately it's become very important for my health (mental and physical). I'm actually SAD about quitting. It's crazy!!! Any good advice is so appreciated!
Thanks all! I will read the program as soon as I get time tonight! I am thankful to have this site for support and encouragement, I think it will really help. And maybe some chocolate....
Just want to say thank you to everyone and for this site for helping me be successful this week with my quit!
It's been rough, but always nice to be able to come onto this site each time I feel weak, and see that others are right there with me, or have been and are ready to lend a word of encouragement! So thanks to all you wonderful people out there!
(Day 6 and still struggling with major tension and anxiety, but haven't caved, and don't plan to!!) N.O.P.E!!!

Haha! Karen...bizarre is the right word for it! Today is the first day my brain has allowed me to get ANY work done! It has felt like somebody gave my brain a shot of novacaine..thankfully the neurons are starting to fire again!
Wow, I was just looking at those who posted on this thread (6 people), and amazed by how many days of life have been added and how much money saved! Amazing!!!!
I will be faced with a challenge tonight. My sister, who smokes, will be here with her 4 children. Houseful of children plus a pak of cigs within reach...bad combo. BUT...I'm feeling incredibly determined and not fearful at all that I would be tempted...so it's going well!!!

Got through day 1 and feeling good this morning! I'm not sure if it's because I didn't smoke yesterday, but I feel much more alert and rested today than usual. My nose is really dry, as though I need some moisture in this house, but overall I feel fantastic. No cravings yet this morning...so I'm still feeling strong! Cold turkey...well, unless you consider food a NRT!!!
For myself, I do have to eat the first week I quit. I'm not overweight so I don't worry too much about the weight gain. I cooked cheesecake and tuna casserole last night. Good comfort foods. Helps me to feel less deprived I think. Also started a book I'd been wanting to read (reading helped me a ton last time) and watched a movie I'd been wanting to watch (Frost/Nixon, which was great).
I'm a little anxious about dealing with the tiredness more than anything today, since I do have to work full-time and have deadlines to meet. Any suggestions for that?
Thanks again for all the support! What a great site.

\So far pretty good. Had a few major craves last night, but they went away as soon as I remembered that I'm not smoking anymore. They were more like a habitual instinct, but as soon as I remembered, no problem.
Read a lot, went to bed early as many of you suggested. SHOPPED (my little reward to myself) :)
I think my Vit D helps a lot with the anxiety, and the B Complex in this juice I"m drinking seemed to help the sluggishness a lot yesterday. Also, getting up and walking around a bit outside was helping (I work from home which makes it nice!).
Thanks for all the great advice and support you co-ex-smoker friends o' mine!!!!

Congrats on your 3 days smoke-free! I'm right there with you. On my last quit (and this one too), reading really takes my mind off of smoking. Getting into a good book takes me out of my life so I don't think about it!
Good luck!!
