Yes this is probably one of the best site i haver encountered, the most active and helpful. with this great support it should be much easier. now i am beginning to get soo upset with this tobacco companies and how they have conned us. really upset. the addiction is strong that they made sure to use the strongest chemicals in order for us to get hooked on it.

Hi Wendel - First of all - I think we're all a bunch of cloudy heads--- Look at your meter: [color=Red]YOU'VE ALREADY MADE IT THROUGH 3 DAYS![/color]. [b]You are on Day #4 today![/b] The nicotine is almost completely out of your system (usually takes around 72 hours) - so the worst of the physical cravings are over - it's all a mental game now. And, it's a game that you CAN win! So, feel proud - you are done with the worst 3 days of Hell Week, and you'll wake up tomorrow already on Day #5.

Cigarettes Not Smoked

Day 3 can be pretty rough for some....LIKE ME!! For a lot of folks, it's a breeze. We're all so different and so are our quits. I sure do know what you mean Wendel. I wish I hadn't accepted that cigarette way back when it was offered to me. I feel like writing a strongly worded letter to my friend who offered her bad habit to me back in 1978!! ha ha ha ha Wonder where she is. :mad: You're doing great, Wendel. You have yourself equipped to do this and you're strong enough to beat it. Plus, you have a great support group here and we're all behind you.

Hi Tutti, and Dreamer, Why is it the infamous day 3? Is it the day that can make or break u? Lots of water, a bat to beat my head in, hard candy, puzzles, and post on this website, are what I need. I am trying to stay occupied, change routines where was smoking. I just want the urge to go away, like it was never in my life or a part of it. I know u can understand.

Wendal, if you have made it through the first day without smoking you have it made...you did not die (like we all thought we would in our nicotine dominated brain if we did not smoke for a whole day) and you went a whole second day without smoking and you are going to make it through today, too! It won't be a totally easy day today but you will make it. I don't know about you but I refuse to ever smoke again because I have made it through that AWFUL FIRST DAY and I never intend to do that again! SO, from a "two week, two day non-smoker my advice to you is: lots of deep breaths (cause now you can...right?) some hard candies, a little nic gum and you're gonna LIVE SMOKE FREE....YIPEEEEEEEEE!

Wendel, This is the infamous Day 3. How are you doing today? I know you CAN do this and just think, after today all nicotine is physically gone from your body. Ain't that grand!!? ;) Day 3 can be more difficult because you've gone and pissed off that nicotine demon. If you're hit with hard cravings today, take a big ole swig of water, slam the bottle down on your desk, make that "Awe" sound, wipe the excess water from your top lip, and then say, "Ahh, bite me." You have to say that really tough or it won't work. ;p Seriously, post a lot today as you have time. We're here for you and it's so great that the nicotine is almost out of your system. Not only that but you're halfway through Hell Week. You're doing fantastic.
