Good job B! I expect you'll have the cleanest place in town when you're done lol. You feel free to come on here and ramble till your fingers fall off - we love it! Remember, we have all been exactly where you are now and we love to see someone winning their personal battles with nicotine. The symptoms you're experiencing are pretty common. Your lungs need to clean the crap out. The tiredness could be attributed to just the stress on your body going through these early days. I know I was pretty wiped out early on in my quit too in fact, I was just drained by the end of the day and happy to hit the bed each night :)

^^^ Nicely put and completely on point :)

NOPE!

Might as well be licking windows. As a Leaf Fan, I've been dry since '67 :P

Congrats helpneeded! Keep focused on building and protecting that quit. Still early days but you're doing great. You're 1/2 way to the 1 month mark - exciting!

Oh, I'm sure you'll be able to get those out Holly. The emotional roller coaster ride will be with you for a bit yet but the good part is that the further into your quit you get, the easier things will start to get. Keep that positive attitude because this is indeed the best thing you could possibly do for yourself. And, you will be very proud of this accomplishment too!!

I'm so glad you kept your quit Holly. The initial days are tough, no doubt about it but yes, attitude DOES make a difference. Get through these initial days any way you can and things will slowly get easier for you. The benefits of getting there are too many to mention :)

Awww ... just cuz you care, here's another one of his biggest hits :P

Hey Newbies! Read these positives then feel free to add your own :)

^^^ Yes HN - what Doreen said. As you move along a little further with your quit (happy 2 weeks by the way & well done!!) things will start to settle down a little in terms of constant carvings. That's when you really need to keep your guard up as they will come at you out of nowhere, hoping you will be weak enough to give in. Don't do it - ever. I have read many a lament over a failed quit and it's always the same thing. Regret, anger, sadness, disappointment and self doubt and, the cigarette they smoked tasted terrible as well. Not anything like what they were expecting. You DON'T want to learn this lesson first hand :)

Good job Bernadette! You're doing it :) That first smoke in the morning is the one that stands out to a lot of us. Change up your morning routine and that will help your brain to focus on a change from what it's used to. Change from coffee to something else if you have that in the morning. Take a shower or bath right away as soon as you're out of bed. That will work as well. Doesn't have to be anything major, just arrange things a little differently than what your normal routine is. An hour at a time for these early days - you'll be fine.

Sorry I was late to see this. Hope you found a way to ignore that voice inside your head Holly! Let us know please how you're doing.

NOPE!

Fabulous Kenzie! That 1st month is the most challenging and you're almost done that now. You've done really well :)

-1 Wow .... that was a cheatin' marathon D :P
