Hi Laura,   I think these videos may help you understand why you built yourself up for failure convincing by yourself that you were going to spend your holiday craving a cigarette.   Difference be

Laura chances are unlimited hun, addiction is bad and to beat it takes education, support, mind set and time   The one ingredient I see you don't have is your mind set, you know you want to quit and

Laura I'm late reading this, but please know we are here for you every step of the way.

Just keep in mind, all of the uncomfortableness goes away. Else none of us would stay quit.

Maybe not overnight but sooner than you think! I know you can do this, I can tell you are sick of smoking.

Keep on watching, reading, and posting. We cannot do it for you, but knowing you have all of us rooting for you should bring you some comfort. Your health is #1 priority.

So day 3 and feeling a bit like something is missing u know i had heard or read that people say when u first quit smoking it's a bit like something is missing. I actually went out to my utility room last night out of habit to have a smoke then remembered i didn't smoke it felt very strange. But i guess i will reajust to my smoke free life soon enough. Feeling positive and keeping busy helps :-)

Hi Laura, I'm on my first couple of days, too. I've had many attempts at quitting over the years, but I've never before used an online support group to quit cigarettes. Right now, I feel as if I'm walking around in a strange, new land, or some kind of altered reality. I try to stay away from where I used to smoke (for me, it was in the kitchen with the window open nomatter how cold it was outside), and when I'm there I try to do something else than I would do before. I now only make healthy foods or clean/do dishes when I'm in the kitchen. I want to break my association with smoking in that room.

 

Wishing you well on your quit-journey! :)

Laura and Oneistoo, you're both doing so well! Good for you! I love the fact that you are trying to stay busy and distract yourself from thoughts of smoking (that's SO important!) and that you're trying to develop some new habits to break the association between certain places or tasks with "time to smoke now." Brilliant! Stay close to the board, both of you. Make the N.O.P.E. daily pledge every day and read some of the classic posts or watch one of Joel's videos every day-- keep educating yourself about how to break this addiction. I've got a very good feeling that you two are both going to make it!  :)

Hi oneistoo - congrats on quitting first of all, I believe we are just going through the adjustment period, which apparently takes a couple of weeks to adjust. Such as doing things that doesn't involve smoking.

I went shopping today and my husband said does it feel weird walking pass the cigarette kiosk without stopping and I said a bit, he said its weird for me I always found it a inconvenience, I had to laugh.

If you want to be my quit buddy that would be cool :-)

Keep going oneistoo we got this quit.

The best thing u could of done was to join the quittrain the support here is second to none, great people and great advise always.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
