this is my first real day without a cigarette. i made it through this morning just fine. i even made it through my morning break without one, even though i had an intense craving. i thought the craving was gone, because i normally don't need to smoke after my morning break until i leave work at 2:30. but right now, i am about to hurt someone! this big roaring beast just leapt up inside me and is screaming for me to smoke. it's making me so mean to the point i have given up talking because these nasty thoughts are just brewing in my head. i'm going crazy!

thanks guys. i really do hope that this first day is the hardest. otherwise, i'll end up going insane! :) i think i'm ok for now. i ate lunch and am chewing this piece of gum to pieces here. we'll see how the drive home goes. 30 minutes in the car with some crappy music craving a cigarette. i want to quit so badly i even wrote NOPE on my hand to look at when i have a craving. i just gotta hang in there and crave the quit instead of the cig.

excellent post! as a newbie, that really helped explain why in the world i'm so tired this week! i thought i was just getting a cold. and the not drinking thing, oh yeah. i'm throwing a surprise birthday party for my fiance this weekend with a bunch of smokers. this article reminded me to be strong through it and to resist the temptation. good job!

hello all. this is, i guess, my first day of quitting. i'm not smoke-free yet as i just made this enormous leap this morning. i realized i really wanted to quit after i stopped at the gas station and bought a carton of camel lights. it made me stop and think: what in the world am i doing? this little addiction just cost me $30! $30 that i'm going to run through in about a week. it made me realize how ridiculous this addiction is. but it's so powerful because, even though i'm on the verge of flying free, i'm terrified. i have had my friend by my side for a little over three years, helping me through the pain, stress, joy, and stupidity of life. i started smoking when i was only 19, before i really knew myself. now i can't picture my life without it. i don't think i even really know who i am without this anymore. so, if anyone out there has some helpful words of wisdom, they would be gladly appreciated to help get me over this hump.
thanks, siobhan
Congrats, Jo! Today is my first day as well for quitting. There must be something in the air. ;) You'll get through this; there are always people rooting for you.
