i stopped smoking on sunday.....anyone else stopped or stopping any time soon?????

[fawkeoff]

i just wanted to see how other people are dealing with not smoking or who are in the process of quitting. i stopped on sunday, and today i am feeling very run down and have a hoooge headache.any support would be welcome

well we had a good time at the cinema last night.DD absolutely loved having time with us without DS.I'm feeling it a bit today.....i actually had a stress moment and went to look for my cigarettes!!!! then remembered i didnt have any, so im finding i a bit hard today but i am under no illusion and the road is going to be rocky.

Hi fawks-how many days is it for you now ?

nearly 3 weeks . I feel much better now the headaches have gone but my sleep pattern is still up and down.

3 weeks.Thats marvellous.
I wonder how long if ever our lungs will be clean ?

i think its about 10 years before our lungs are properly replenished. i have started coughing a lot more so im assuming thats the bodys way of getting the gunk out.I really wish i had stopped and thought about what i was actually doing when i was younger.all to be part of the crowd, but at least my DC will have a better chance of being non smokers if they have parents that dont

5th day today !
Fresh breath !
Pink tongue.
Lost 2lbs-prob because i have been eating 3 meals a day instead of skipping breakfast ect for a ciggy instead .
I am smellingh delightful x

Manchita-are you onboard yet ?

well done FAKEBLOND!!! i have been stopped 3 weeks now and i feel really proud of myself.still have the impending weekend away down to see my fab family and am really nervous about how i am going to cope......i hope i dont balls it all up

You wont balls it up-do they smoke ?
If they do just feel sorry for them because they have to feed the monster and dont even enjoy it !
You wont be having nicotine withdrawal by now but just sometimes miss relieving the withdrawal !
Deep breaths
You are an ex smoker !!!!!!!!! x

Hi all. I stopped in April after smoking 10-20 a day for 16 yrs. It's been nearly 7 months now and it has got miles and miles easier (although still have the odd craving when I drink). You can do it!

thanks for the encouragement LOVEANGEL . have had a really good weekend with the family, took DD into town to watch the xmas parade, she loved it and saw the reindeers and father xmas, then we came home and baked american muffins together, then went to church.I hadnt been to church for yonks and she enjoyed it.today she has been to a dora the explorer themed party and we have done fireworks this evening and i have to say hand on heart had i been smoking and gone out and got drunk i wouldnt have done any of these things this weekend, so it is actually benefitting me and my family in many more ways if thats not a good reason to stay stopped i dont know what is.

dh was away last night so i opened a bottle of wine and could have EATEN a ciggie.
Insead i ended up eating 6 go ahead bars !
It was really hard-but having a better day today.
How long before you dont think about not smoking so much i wonder ?

i dont know??? i just try and occupy my mind if it comes into my head.Ihavent even had a sip of beer since i stopped smoking so you are a brave lady to be opening a bottle,well done for not giving in though

ive got my last smoking cessation class tonight really pleased about it actually because it makes me want a cigarette after ive sat talking about it for over an hour.hows everyone else doing???? anyone else giving up soon????

well it looks like its just me then
my last session went great, my supporter told me if i ever needed a little encouragement to drop in any time, it was sad to see that only 2 ofus actually stopped smoking....actually we were the only 2 that bothered to even show up.anyway i am determined that i will not have a fag while im down south, ive peomised myself xx

so i am journeying down south tomorrow, i really hope for my own sake that i dont have a fag.....if anyone actually looks at this please wish me luck x x a whole month without a puff

i stopped smoking today.

i had my last one last night
am feeling ok sofar
time will tell

congrats harley- are you going cold turkey?

yeah cold turkey.
i have been able to do it before, when i was pregnant, but that was the only reason i quit. i always went back on them afterwards.
im doing a lot of coughing today, which i didnt expect so soon!

how are you feeling with it?

i have given up loads of times but although i had decided to have my last fag last night - this morning i didn't feel as commited - so i went and bought some patches

ihave previously revelled inthe fact that nicotine is out of your body in 48 hours and its will power from there - not addiction - but its not worked for me in the past.
the last tiem i used patches i stopped for a year.

now the law has changed and everyone i know is a non smoker. apart from dh - who i have told willhave to smoke in back garden!

here is good luck to us

everybody i know doesnt smoke now either
i was in the bar last night and i was the only person who kept going outside
so i thought i would give it a go
good luck to us!
keep letting me know how you're doing, it might keep me on the right track

yeah!

ive still stopped getting a bit figety now

me too, today!

but failed
tomorrow then
