Well done Hun,

You're not over the worst yet but you have got over a huge hurdle. Not smoking that rollie was a great step and day 3 is known to be particularly hard. Keep going but remember that you still have tough times ahead. You are, however, absolutely right, you will only be cheating yourself; never forget that but also remember all those you have told including us, we are all rooting for you, so when the urge comes again take a deep breath and think how proud you will be when you tell us you have resisted again.

Best of luck and if you need nicotine replacement I have found the microtabs far more pleasant than the gum.

Hope everyone else has had a positive, smoke free day.

Great going webitha! Keep reasoning like that and you're set to do well. A short while after I quit a friend had left her packet along with lighter in her garden and for all the world I so felt like picking it up and sneaking one....but I never did and remained so chuffed at how strong I'd been. Keep going webitha, keep strong! To everyone else too.

Love, Sue

thanks for all your wonderful support and for the advice re microtabs but i will be sticking to the gum as i need it to taste minging to confirm in my brain that ciggies taste minging too iyswim?
hey as long as it works for me tho

hey just thought I would post quickly, say big well done and keep it up! I'm generally tempted more than anything at the weekend. This weekend I'm out with lovely non smokers so hopefully I won't succumb and ask a stranger or anything. I'm usually more determined and pig headed when I've had a drink so why I'm such a weak thing I just don't know
