Reciprocity

I'll assume you want to write 4 so I'll just take back that 5

Yes - the longer I'm here on this board, the more I begin to realize just how shockingly bizarre some of us really are. Love it though; quitting can be FUN!!

You're doing great Pumpkin :) Keep moving forward and resist those urges to smoke. Your addicted brain will test you in more ways than you know in the coming days and weeks. Stay on guard and when the challenges come and fight them as if your life depends on it. In reality, it just might? You have proven you can get through the toughest part of quitting now so build that early quit into something really strong :)

Not all of them ...........................

AG1; this is all normal and will not last much longer with the intensity that you are experiencing now, providing you do not smoke!! That is the key ingredient here - NO SMOKING. That includes e-cigs. Smoking those is virtually the same as cigs. You are going through all the same motions as smoking, even if you have no nicotine in them. Breaking that mental process of smoking is harder and takes longer than just getting the nicotine out of your system. You are 3 days into your quit now? That's pretty much max. discomfort time for most. Just focus on getting through each hour at a time right now. It will get better soon. You are just in the worst part of the process right now. By the way, it's OK to cry and sleep as much as you want during these early days. I know it's tough to function at work and elsewhere in public during these early days. You just have to do the best you can. The only way through this is, you have go through this part. It will be worth it after you're there. This won't last forever, that I promise you. Stay strong Girl and just don't smoke!!

+1 on Canadian Beer :wub: Weed; not legal until July 1, 2018 You can keep the Poutine; Gravy and cheese curds on top of greasy French Fries. Possibly more hazardous to your health than smoking :gagging-928:

NOPE!

4 T.G.I.F. !!

^^^^ So True ......................

^^^ I repeat my earlier statement: Yup :)

Nice! Another benefit of quitting. No brownish build up on your tongue :) Bet your taste buds are waking up too?

+1 Hahaha......................

Like this perhaps??

Hope so but if we're goin' on a mission we gotta get to Cannada right quick before The Donald builds a WALL or puts a tariff on Canadian women :P

What's happened to our Pixel Sketch? She was very active here the past couple of weeks then suddenly gone 2 days ago! I hope she's OK :unknw:

I think part of the reason was also that I wanted to see if I could actually do it because I knew it would be really tough. Sounds weird but I like to challenge myself from time to time and that has ended me up in hospital twice in my lifetime with serious injuries so I figured that this challenge would either have no effect on my life if I failed or, it would benefit me if I was successful. I know that's strange but as long as it works out; it's all good :)

-1 Isn't it your bedtime yet?

I'm working from home today as well as taking care of some house repair/maintenance stuff. Good idea to keep busy during your early quit. Keep yourself occupied and not only will that help distract you; you'll have the cleanest & most organized house in the State by the time your 1st week is over :P I know you're feeling completely miserable now, it's just part of the process. The intense misery won't last that long and once you are through it, you'll be well on your way to securing your quit :) Come here often and let us know how you're doing. Also be sure to keep focused on your reason for quitting. Keep that in the front of your mind as it will help you through this tough part. Reflect on how far you've come even if it's just a day or two. The early days are really hard work so you don't want to throw that all away or have to repeat it. I know these two things kept me moving forward in the early days.
