NOPE!

You are doing great SP!!!

I will say by the end of the month hopefully you will be at least 25% better, probably closer to 50%. I'm an impatient person and I wanted the urges to be gone on day one, which unfortunately didn't happen, but the best thing to get rid of the urges is Time!! You know the old saying, "Time heals all wounds"....and it's so true. The more time passes the easier it will get. Get yourself one of those tickers like we all have and it will show you your progress, how much time has passed since you last smoked, how much money you saved and how many cigarettes you haven't smoked! I come on here every day just to look at the ticker...LOL!!! Also, stick around this forum because the people on here are so great! They all know exactly what you are going through because everyone that has quit smoking had a "first day, "first month", etc. We all had "firsts". Everyone helped me a ton the first month and have been helping me all along. I don't think I could have done it without these wonderful people!!! Just keep coming back on here every day.

NOPE!

I know exactly what you are going through! That first month is horrible, tons of terrible urges, emotions that are going crazy. My family hated me that first month because I was so nasty! I would suck on cinnamon sticks or plastic straws as they helped me, or you can also chew gum. Go for a walk and try to do things that will make you forget about the urges. I know it's not easy, but it really does get better. I'm at 3 1/2 months now and I barely get any urges and when I do they are very short (maybe they last a minute, if that long). So I promise you it does get better!! Hang in there!!!

NOPE!!

I am so glad you didn't take a drag Bri!!! You are a very strong person and you are doing so great!!! I still get the urges once in a while too but thankfully they pass.

NOPE!

Wow that's still a lot. In US$ for the 20 cig pack the conversion for A$ to US$ is $22. Way too much. I was getting my cigarettes from overseas not paying any tax and it they cost me about $34 for a carton which contains 10 packs, so it was very cheap. But then they had a problem with the shipping and the cigarettes weren't coming, so I decided to quit because even at $15 a pack here in NY, that is way too expensive for me. I still get cravings every once in a while since it's only been 3 months for me, but they definitely aren't as bad as that first month.

NOPE!!

Hi Chris, So your friend spends $64 on a pack of cigarettes or is that for a carton? Because $64 for a pack is insane. Here in NY they get about $15 a pack. I'm a newbie non smoker although this is my second time quitting and my last. The first time I was quit for 6 years and smelling it never really bothered me, although I didn't love it, I didn't hate it either. I guess I was indifferent to it, and that's how I am now after 3 months. I don't think I would like to be in a room full of smokers but just to smell it on occasion it doesn't bother me. Maybe in the long run I will change. I am looking forward to the day when I am quit as long as you!! Ohh, btw, that tin can/ashtray does look gross!!

NOPE!!

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis Bri but I am so glad you aren't smoking! You came so far in this!!

NOPE!!
