Hi Angel. So glad you have made the decision to quit. You can do this! keep us updated on your progress. It gets easier xx

Hey Angel - congrats on your decision to quit and good luck on day 1. Come to the bonfire tonight - that will keep you busy for a while.

Congrats on your decision Angel. The first week is not easy but it is doable. Find some relaxing distractions - it helps.
Books, movies, sitcoms, word puzzles, bubble baths,take a walk, aromatherapy helps alot- extra sleep helps alot too- you dont crave when your sleeping. Just stay focused on your goal of NOPE(not one puff ever) and you'll do it. Good luck.

Congratulations Angel!!! This is my first week smoke free, tomorrow will be a week. I know what you are going through, I always liked to smoke when I got out of work, first thing in my car I lit a cancer stick. What I did that has helped me was change up the routine. I changed my parking spot, left work out of a different door, changed my route home.

If find myself getting bored at night and I want to smoke, here comes the challenge. I get on the computer, come here to DS, I exercise, tonight I played playdough with my 7 yr old and played Wii.

Remember we are all here to support each other, you are not alone!!!!!

Good for you, Angel! I have found that I have had to coach my way through! I am only on day 3, so I feel ya! It is already easier! We are all here for you! You can do it!!!!

What a great decision you made... it's tough but YES it does get easier... You have found the right place to help you quit if you are serious. It is so worth it... You CAN do it too! Read and stay occupied as much as you can..lots of good stuff on here. It makes all the difference having support hon! Go girl!!! You rock ya know!!

Congratulations Angel!!!! Today is day 2 for me and I agree this is hard stuff!!!! I ran out of cigarettes yesterday and I just decided not to buy another pack. I bought a big pack of lollipops last time I went grocery shopping and now every time I crave a cigarette, which is usually in the car, I pop a lolli- instead of lighting up. Today, especially the last two hours has been especially hard because I just broke up wiht my boyfriend tonight. We had been drifting apart and it was a mutual breakup but still the craving has been tremendous. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
I will NOT smoke, I will NOT smoke, I will NOT smoke. . . . . . .
