Peteg,

You are persevering!

Your body is going through many changes and it is trying to heal itself! Keep a low profile, treat yourself to relaxation of any kind and drink lots of water to help flush out everything!

Worried about the week-end...don't!

Use the emergency coping plan http://www.stopsmokingcenter.net/program/copingplan.aspx and be ready for anything. The week-end can come with a bang and you will be ready for it!

Post and get support, we are ready to help!

We got your back too!

Whoa, Lil, you get a DOUBLE YIKES! I'm gonna have to ask you for some cheese to go with all that whining I just! You're three days ahead of me in time, but miles ahead in character! Thanks for the shake-up and the reminder that I never had it so good! I'll be three days (and three steps) behind you and will not lose sight of your back. (Oh. And yeah, thanks SO MUCH for letting me know what I have to look forward to, ha ha!!)

Peteg ...

Now dont be going all 'giving in' on me already ... I have just had one of the toughest weeks in recent memory - and the only thing keeping me going is the fact that I am not doing this alone ... and neither are you!! My mind and my body have been doing the weirdest things this week - all sorts of tricks have been played. I have spent a lot of time talking to myself ... well, actually, not so much talking ... more kinda arguing. The 'bad' side of me is telling me all the reasons that I should just give in and have a smoke "no one will know, it will ease your suffering, just one in the morning, every morning, admit to yourself that you are destined to be a life long smoker, your gonna give in, it is just a matter of time ... do it ... do it ... do it!!!! ... have have the bloody smoke!!!!!!!) .... but then there is the 'good' side of me spitting back ... "No! No! No! .... I dont want to have to go through these first few days again, I can't keep doing this, I WILL learn to cope without cigarettes but it will take time, I am not having a cigarette, yes, I want one but I am not going to have one" and so the battle rages on almost every minute of every day. Physically - I am falling to bits ... my throat is sore and tight, I have tremors and a washing machine stomach, my sleeping pattern is all over the place and I have a bustin' headache ... Oh my God!!!! (says you!) ... this message is just ALL doom and gloom ... but the point is ... it is not ... because for all this sh*t going on .... I have NOT had a cigarette and so I am still winning ... and so are you!!! Try not to think too much about the weekend ... just get through today first .... and then we can see how we go the day after that!! Anyways, I have no plans for the weekend because I am trying to avoid everything that might 'set me off' - so outwith walking the dog and being a domestic goddess for my long sufffering husband and kids ... I will be here ... if you want to talk, moan, rant, shout (you can even swear if you want!) or basically just VENT.

Keep at it ... it's hard but you are doing great!!

Luv Lil x

Stay with it Pete! The first few days are just weird.

Start planning your "hell week" reward. :-).

Congratulations on Day3!

I knew this quit was going entirely too well. Last night (only Day 2!!) I got hit with a pretty significant wave of jitters and cravings. Like so many others, I'm also severely cutting back on my drinking, which may or may not have contributed to the sudden onslaught. While it wasn't that hard to resist, I was sure shaken by it! This morning I woke up with a massive headache that I recall all too clearly from long nights of wine drinking and smoking... I'm trying to look at it as my body's way of reminding me what it was like, but it's still pretty unsettling.

In some ways, though, I'm kinda glad to be back in the "battle zone;" Days 1 and 2 were so easy, they had me wondering when the next shoe was going to drop. At least now I know.... trying not to dread the coming weekend, always my worst time in any quit.
