Hi Krimson,
It's highly unlikely that you've done yourself any permanent damage having smoked for such a short time. I think you'll find that in a while you'll probably have forgotten that you ever smoked!
We all make mistakes, the difference between you and me is that my mistake lasted for 29 years longer than yours!
I'm sure you'll be successful - use this board when you're going through those difficult moments
Good luck !!
Mr Ed

Hi Lizzie and OinkOink2u,
I'm living in Chingford (NE London); don't have a problem with the South as I used to live in Clapham(North).
OinkOink2u - you quit the week before me, so you've nearly done 3 months - fantastic!
Lizzie - How long have you been smoke free?

Hi everybody,
During my 70-odd smoke free days I've indulged in several hobbies, which have occupied me well and takem my mind off the dreaded weed.
Most of these hobbies haven't involved much physical exercise. This week I've started RUNNING, which has exhausted me, but I feel so much happier when relaxing afterwards. (Must be those endorphines working!)
So if you're at the end of your tether and about to give up quitting (if that makes sense) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE try this first
All the best!
Mr Ed

I'm currently on my final week of (7mg) patches, prior to going it alone. I'm now 70 days smoke-free and most of the time have coped with the cravings.
Can anyone who has been in this position before tell me how I might react when I'm 'patch-free'?
Thanks

Hi,
From my perspective, I found it not too bad. However, you may notice increased cravings when dropping to lower levels of patches.
Anyway, I've now done 10 weeks and never thought I would last out the first day.
It does get better - good luck!
Hi Kabrevor,
Sounds like you've got the best reason in the world to quit - for yourself and for your family.
I'm on day 72 on the patches and I've now reached the stage where I'm thinking 'Yes, there is more to life than smoking'.
It may seem hard to believe in the early days, but that feeling will come to you.
My advice is simple - keep busy, if you have time, spend it on a hobby/project that you enjoy.
Don't dwell on whether you can quit for good, focus on today and only today. Watch your quit meter - each day is another success
Good luck and all the best

Hi PitStop,
Sounds to me that you're on the right track this time! Your post is full of references to all the negative aspects of smoking; let's face it, there are NO positive ones!
I'm sure that you're on the way to a successful quit!
Good luck!
