Welcome to QuitTrain @StruggleDaily and congratulations on 6 day smoke free. Yes, a lot of us here can attest that the early days are tough. You are reversing a habit/addiction that has controlled your life for years. But, you are doing a great thing in quitting and it does get better and the early struggles are worth quitting for good. For starters, I would suggest reading the "Your First Days nicotine free" thread below.... and also read the "How Do I Quit Smoking" post linked to below... There is a lot of good info in the Quit Smoking Discusssions part of this site. I hope you stick around. There is a lot of knowledge and support you can get here. You are doing a great thing in quitting smoking.5 points

Sitting here minding my own business. Going through some crap. Daily. Old TV shows (in USA) give me comfort. Shows so old they are not in color. Apparently, cigarettes offered actors acting in black & white false comfort too..: Craves will sneak up & try to drown you when they think you’re too tired to swim. We are tired but strong enough to exclaim: NOPE!!3 points

Hi @StruggleDaily Welcome aboard the train! So glad you found us and very happy to know that you quit smoking. I know those early days are extremely rough, we all know. The longer you go without a cigarette, the easier it will become. I promise you that! Come on here to vent and we will help you along the way. What I did in the beginning was to take cinnamon sticks and make believe they were a cigarette. I would suck in the air from the hole and then blow out make believe smoke, plus it tasted really nice. If you don't like cinnamon you can use cut up straws. Also drinking a lot of water helps, do anything to take your mind off of smoking. There is a games section with lots of fun games. One of them is called Chicks and Sticks which we all have a blast playing. Check it out. Glad to have you with us and hope you will stick around. Good luck to you and have a great day!3 points

Geeze sitting and sleeping in this recliner is making my BUTT hurt. I now have a new respect for the old saying "Don't drop the soap in the shower", of course that meaning was different than, I've fallen and cant get up!!! Hope these Steroids get some relief moving? As I sit here and my wife who still smokes leaves to satisfy the addiction I am overwhelmed by the caveat of being a non smoker,,, I don't have to get up. NICE!! Just shootin the breeze guys, not depressed actually happy catchin up here, and on my Clive Cussler's. Louie L'amore is next. Don't just have a good day,,, Have a great day!! Cheers and KTQ3 points

Welcome aboard @StruggleDaily! Glad to have you join the Quit Train community. You’ve made it through Hell Week already! That’s no small feat. Keep at it and you never will need to go through the withdrawal misery again. I smoked for 40+ years and it was really hard at first. But it DOES get better. Stay strong, and give your body and mind time to adjust. You won’t regret it. You can do this!1 point

Welcome Struggle Daily! Quitting is doable for all but you gotta commit absolutely and without reservation. Under NO circumstances will you stick a cig in your mouth and light it. Yest it's tough initially; really tough but it does get easier with each passing day that you don't smoke. You may not realize it at first but it is getting better with time you put in not smoking. Read everything you can here and stay active on the site. People will guide you along the way.1 point

Yup, I certainly am Doreen!!! I am so proud of myself and not only because I quit, but, because now I can help others struggling. I CAN give advice!!! And, thank you again for your help this past year! You and everyone else here helped me get through those horrible early days of quitting. I think back to that time and I really can't believe how far I have come. I was having meltdowns in the early days. I was telling one member in another post how I was doing so terribly and I got through it and she will too!! Here we go, take a look at this!! LOL!! I never need an excuse....hahahah!!!1 point
