Nancy, I am good. Around about 45 hours in to my quit and not really craving. I am a bit teary at times but that's just the withdrawal. Thanks for asking.

Hi Action. I'm kinda feeling ok although still feeling stoned. It will pass and it's ultimately good for my body which as much as it is a discomfort for me my body is remodelling itself so I will kind of feel brand newish when it dumps all the muck and grime out of my system.

Finally someone who is on to me. I cannot dance and yes I am a reindeer, although of course no-one believes me those days.

Thanks Pippa. I don't feel like I'm struggling so I don't feel like I need to create what you called "diversions". Perhaps it's because I don't think I want to smoke anymore. This seems to be a big change from last time I quit. So I'm just enjoying the roller coaster. The spaced out sort of feeling without having to run from my feelings because I'm scared I'll smoke. Hope it stays this way.

Well done Tiff.

Interesting how when her day to day functioning is described you can see how smoking really is affecting everything.

I'm around 9 hours into my quit and am starting to feel some of the withdrawal symptoms, like foggy headedness. When I quit last time I told another forum member that I felt stoned when I was withdrawing. He told me to enjoy it. I've decided I can't fight it so I might as well enjoy it. Considering I don't take drugs, I guess this will be the only time I will get to enjoy feeling wasted. I am trying to see the positive in everything. :)

I've been reading through some of the material here on the blog and other areas and it is excellent. I can tell it's been done by an ex-smoker since all of the material is very motivating. Congrats.
