I think day 2 may have been slightly easier. I felt a bit cold and shivery but otherwise ok.

I have put oil burners all over my house and it smells beautiful in here. It’s a reminder of one of the benefits of quitting…I don’t stink anymore.

I’m now starting day 3 and feeling really optimistic. This is it…I’m really doing it!

Also found a fab site…www.WhyQuit.com. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone making a serious effort to quit.

I think this is becoming a habit. Pracice went well again yesterday. I feel like I’ve achieved even though it’s only the second day.

So yesterday was my first day off the fags. The morning went well, no problem and no cravings. I relaxed in the sunshine, read a book, went to the local shops for some essentials, took it easy.

The afternoon got progressively more difficult. I started gardening and every time I finished a task, I wanted to sit down and smoke. The cravings were a nightmare. I started to get really grumpy. I started to believe life without cigs is pointless and rubbish.

Then I remembered this site and wondered how it would feel to come on here and confess to having blown it on Day 1? I got busy and did things that don’t involve any smoking memories. I had a long bath, I made a huge lovely dinner. It seemed to work. In the evening I lay in bed watching dvds with OH who insisted on smoking right next to me and blowing the nasty stuff right in my face. I think we need to have words about that and maybe a ‘only smoke in the kitchen’ rule.

Anyway, I am hugely pleased to report I’m now on my second day and believe I can do it!!!!
