Day 1 of non-smoking

DAY 1:
Ok, so today is my first day of not smoking and surprisingly going well... i mean its only the first day but i havent had a craving, im not on medication and going cold turkey.
something clicked in my head this morning when i woke up and usually go to make a coffee and have a smoke... i had no smokes left, my throat was sore, i felt really tired and then i figured - you know what? i dont want to smoke, it makes me feel like crap in the morning, i feel ugly and cant stand coughing in the morning... its not pretty.
i have quit a couple of other times, with the help of NRT and with medication subscribed by my GP and they both contributed to helping me quit for 3 - 6 months at different times, but i tend to give in as soon as something becomes too stressful and the thoughts "Whatever, who cares" comes into my head im straight to the shop.... i need to stop this.
im looking for the benefits of feeling better, looking healthy, getting back into the gym and the saving of money. i dont enjoy smoking anymore, so enough is enough.
Wish me Luck!

Way to go Titan! I am on day 4 today and i gotta say its the hardest day so far!! I m losing my mind today and cannot get the cigarette out of my head today. I did not even go to work today as i could not sleep all night. Smoking is quite messed up. Read my story it might help ya, and good luck champ!!
Today is day one cold turkey for me as well, have had like 3 bad cravings once at work (I'm a dominos driver) and I wanted one on the way back from a long delivery, i wanted one at my course during break and with my morning coffee as well.... But I held out and we can both do it tomorrow

Thats so good! :) It was also so hard cause it was Melbourne Cup Day, just gotta remember why we doing it and we will be fine :)
