Well done folks, keep up the work, you are doing this. Those urges you are feeling are just the nicotine monster's death throes as it dies!!!! I was a heavy smoker for 30 years and perviously could only stop for 3/4 days. . It will feel a bit tough at times during Hell week but believe me, it does get easier, and within a few weeks you will have that moment of revalation when you are in a situation that would normally reach for a smoke, and it doesn't cross your mind. Keep jumping in and posting, everyone here has been where you, we are all here to help.
Hey Detox
8 days is well on the path. You already know that smoking doesnt change anything so you are already getting stronger. Life is stressful but hell, it beats the alternative!!!! Keep jumping in, you are doing this!!
