My first day without nicotine!

I don't actually. Maybe watch a movie later or something :) I think the first day is the hardest because I haven't got the hours behind me yet. Plus the nicotine is still in my system. :(
Alas, we battle on! Can't wait till I actually forget how many days have passed since I've had a cigarette :)
 
I hope I feel as good as you in a few days time!!

My first day without nicotine!

Ahh, I'll definitely check it out! Chewing things is a big love of mine, so I might pop to the shops in a bit :P 
I've been eating a LOT more than usual today too!

Hey Jim,
 
Thank you so much for your great message. Although very inspiring, it made me feel extremely guilty because I have messed up today. I didn't smoke. Instead, I went and bought an electronic cigarette and used it. Don't get me wrong, such products help thousands and it's not my first time using this product either.
 
It's just that when I tried to give up whilst using the e-cig, it lead back to smoking. I've now tried every single nicotine replacement product available and every product led back to me smoking. That's when I thought, no more Nicotine! I told myself that if I attempted to give up again, I would go cold turkey.
 
I have failed.

My first day without nicotine!

Hi Tim,
 
Thanks for your message. It seems that I've never wanted it 100% and the sad thing is, I don't think I will. I think that I'm so addicted, I can't listen to the person behind the addiction. I find that I truly want to give up on certain days, and then the motivation falls apart. I feel extremely weak and I messed up today (my first day)!!
 
I promised myself that I would go cold turkey. I bought an electronic cigarette earlier and started puffing away. That stupid chemical is in my body again and I'm back to square one.
 
*Feels very tiny*

My first day without nicotine!

You're completely right. I'm going to try again without anything! The question is, when should I stop?
 
How about the time I send this post?
 
The current UK time/date is: Thursday 01 May (00:31am)
 
I am now a non-smoker again.

Dear Jim,
 
Thank you for your support and encouragement. Most of my family on my mother's side all smoke and my uncle died from smoking just two years ago. I have been smoking for 4 years now, (4 years too long) and my health is beginning to deteriorate. It is time for my to kill my habit once and for good!
 
I posted a post on another thread of mine and I basically said that I am trying the "Cold Turkey" method again (as of 15 minutes ago). :)
 
I am now a non-smoker.
 
Death to cigarettes!!
