do you really want to go back to day one and go thru all of those withdrawal symptoms all over again? i don't think you do . If you did, you wouldn't have come here. Take a nap, take a hot shower, do anything except pick up a cigarette cause i can promise you that it MIGHT take away that feeling of being tired but it sure ain't worth the guilt that will come as a result of smoking again.

You're right. I am at school right now. It's crappy out. Instead I just chewed a piece of the gum and drank some water.

I doubt if it will change the weather, but it will change you into a smoker again. Your choice.

Just remember how awful day one and day two were.....that's one of the major reasons I just can't ever start again!

Great job of choosing to come here instead of lighting up.If you need the pick-me-up try soda or coffee. Remember the 5 "D's"
Drink- tons of water
Delay- just keep putting it off
Distract- Think of anything else,read posts
Deep breath- slowly thru the mouth
and,and,ahhh crap, I always forget the 5th one. If I think of it, I'll be right back.
Lots of luck and hugs for strength,Mayberry
