I'm still a mess. I wish I could sleep for a week, I kind of even wish I had the flu or something that would make smoking seem less interesting. My husband is still at work and my kids are picking today to not listen and be out of control, or I'm probably just noticing it more today. I turned off the TV because every channel I flipped to someone was smoking of course. Now I'm just writing and reading on here

I am hoping to get to bed early tonight. Yes I do have a cat :)

I'm still here and havent had one. I keep waiting for the craving to pass but so far its not. I'm trying to focus on other things but thats not seeming to work right now either. All of your words are encouraging and I'm thankful for them. :)

I'm sitting here crying. My optimism from this morning is wearing thin. I feel like a loser in that I am already in tears in less than 24 hours. I want to be stronger than this, I dont want to let myself down, or my husband, or my kids. I think about having one and then I think about how guilty I am going to feel. I'm trying to tell myself I can do this over and over

wow thank you for all of the responses and encouragement already! I can tell this is going to be a great help :) Thank you so much for the warm welcome and immediate support!

Hi everyone! I decided earlier this week that I was going to quit cold turkey today. My cravings are obviously outrageous already, as I normally start my day with a cup of coffee and a smoke. Still had my coffee but no smoke. I have a lot of support around me but am hoping to have more by joining this forum. My husband also quit today. This has been a long time coming and I really hope I can do this. I am excited and scared. I know the cravings will pass, I just need to (try and) be strong and power through.
