Stay Positive
On day 11 now of my odyssey. Nausea has kicked in and I seem to have about 24 years of trapped wind that I need to belch out! However, even the thought of having a cigarette makes me want to puke. Today is a big one as I only managed to get to day 11 the last time I tried to quit- some 12 years ago. Hay ho- here we go!
Keep going Steve - it gets easier. I had nausea as well - didn't realize it was related to withdrawals at the time and just pushed through it. Week 3 is a bugger but once you get past that you'll be winning. Find the strength within yourself - it's there somewhere and keep coming here even if it's just to read posts to give you inspiration. 11 days is great - you've beaten your personal best ;-)
I hear ya on the wind thing its never ending. you are doing great stay strong, you can beat this this time.... one day at a time... that is the key.
Congratulations on day 11 that is super, well done to you, and tomorrow you will have beaten your PB!!
there are options on which way the wind goes ya know! (yep from someone that lives alone!!)
Go Steve,
Fantastic! you should feel proud of yourself. I was smoking for about 24 years also 20 - 25 day. I am on day 32, cold turkey. Funny I haven't tried cold turkey for about 12 years also. I lasted 3 months back then. I have tried a few times in between but that was with NRT. Cold turkey works the best for me. Good luck Steve, stay strong. You can do it this time.
Thanks all for your amazing comments and help. It's fantastic to have this forum!
