19 Day's--Help Advice
I'm onto day 19 and i feel depressed lethargic and just couldn't be bothered. I am annoyed i don't feel proud /happy/elated that i've beaten the ciggaretes and have survived 19 day's. I feel i am depriving myself...
Oh Kathryrose you can keep going. I too had a bit of a bump around that time, thinking well I know the nicotine is out of my body now, so why do I still want one?
I found the best way to not feel 'deprived' was to remind myself why I was stopping and all the good that would bring. And instead of looking at smokers with envy, I would tell myself poor things are still a slave to the stuff.
It really is time and all mind set and bloody hard work. But 19 days - well 20 now. Keep going. Hang in there.

Yep I think I slept for a week after the first weeks not sleeping, I was depressed thinking ok what now and also felt generally flat!! You have endures the hardest 19 days of your life think of it as a marathon for your brain, that continual checking yourself and denial of an addiction, And now your body is getting used to you saying No its exhausted!!! Make like a potatoe and veg out you deserve it!!and start looking for thing to do that are treats!!! You have done so so well, celebrate your achievement xxxxxxxxx
Keep going Kathyrose, I haven't got to 19 days yet but I'm trying to keep up with you, you've been agreat support to me so I need you to hang in there!!! Keep it up you can do it.
