Well today is my first real milestone that sounds substantial!! day 50 without a ciggie, I have to admit I didn't think I would make it. And I've made it official - told my mother and told my boss!! that must mean I think I am over the worst hurdle (or most times I do)

I have had maybe a day a week over the last few weeks that I swear have been worse than some of the days in the first week. Feels like physical withdrawal still although technically thats impossible. Talk more, talk louder, boy I sound strange from where I sit

Weirdly enough today is one of the hard ones, at least its a Friday so won't wreck my weekend! Thanks everyone for the support - I'm looking forward now to celebrating day 100 with you

And best of luck to those starting - its a strange mix of not as bad as I thought and one of the hardest things I've ever done, but for some-one that couldn't think about quitting without panicking, it must be do-able for a lot more normal people than me!

Awesome effort Larch!!! I'm on day 114 so know how you feel and so true about your comment about "not as bad as I thought and one of the hardest things I've ever done" - go figure. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I could give up but I have so good luck to you and to everyone else starting out - YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU REALLY REALLY WANT TO!!!

Hi Larch, fantastic to hear you're day 50! It honestly does get easier on the way to the big 100. I found cravings lessened to longings, which were very brief, and now I have niggles! Mostly just a fleeting thought "I used to have a cigarette in this situation" without any real desire to do so. When you think about it, there are no negatives to this journey, it's absolutely a win win scenario.
