Day 1

What I have done different this time is I started waiting a hour for more morning smoke. I also have lots of healthy snacks in the cupboard and fridge. I have been pre paring for this for about a month now.

Day 3

Well I am starting day 3 of my quit, hasnt been too bad so far. My cravings havent been a bad as my other quits. This time I started on the 21 mg instead of the 14 mg. I have had some cravings but nothing that I havent been able to deal with. I do notice so far that I really enjoy the deep breaths that are easier to do.
But what I am nervous about is going to work tonight, I work 5 to 11 and tend to get bored at times. I also sell smokes at my job so I guess that is my biggest fear. I do know I need to be strong and keep this qut going.
I will check in later, have a great day everyone.

Nasty Day!

So today is my worst day so far, coming to the end of day 4. I know it will pass and it is just a craving,  it is so intense I just feel like screaming. But what makes it worst is I am at work so it is alittle harder to deal with.  That little deamon keeps telling me 1 wont hurt it will help calm you down. But I do understand what that is all about, its just the junkie talking. I think after work I will go home and have a nice hot bubble bath and just try to relax.
Thanks for listening, I just needed to vent.

Nasty Day!

Well I made it through yesterday! I went home after work and cried my eyes out, had dinner and a hot bubble bath and I was than finaly able to relax. It was by far my hardest day so far. And sleep wow,
I think right now I am sleeping 10 to 12 hours a day and I dont want to get out of bed in the morning. I was almost late for work this morning. I am also so glad this site is here, it really helps reading the older posts on this site.
Thanks for all your support.

April/May Quitters

Hi, my quit day was May 2.  Day 7 tomorrow......hell week will be over! So far my worst day was day 4 but I made it through ok in the end. Like everyone else says I do as well just take 1 day at a time. I do find myself sleeping in alot these days, I am not getting up until almost 9 every morning.
Last night I had a dream that I smoked and when I woke up this morning I really had to think about my dream, it felt almost real. It did kind of scare me until I realized it was just a dream. I was just wondering if this is a normal thing?
