Keeping busy!

Hey everyone, I'm on day 3 cold turkey without a slip up so far. I've had the crappy cravings occasionally but have found keeping busy and thinking about anything other than cigarettes has been helpful to me.
My proudest moment so far was when I walked straight past the tobacco counter at the supermarket to go buy some chewing gum and lollipops. I also rewarded myself yesterday and bought a book.. which will also keep my mind busy to not think about smoking. Stay strong peeps. And if you ever need word's of encouragement don't hesitate to reply.. we can help one another through these hard times.

Good on ya champ, keep it up. After 34 years smoking I've been clean for over 2 years and saved over 12 grand. 😀

Yay, keep up the good work. There's lots of info on other quit sites too, like stayquit.com. just take one day a time ☺

im day 59 and it keeps getting better...stay the course and be strong..you can do this ..p.s. your old friend was killing you!!!!!

Ok May need your help I am just sick of smoking
I did try to give up before I had an op last week
4 days without an Sm but came home and started up again Mmmmm very in happy with myself but will try again xxx

Thanks everyone for the lovely encouraging comments.. and well done to you all too! I'm still smoke free, 8 days now and going strong. Stay strong everyone and keep busy. The moment I stop doing things is when I think about cigarettes. And to Misha, I'd be glad to help out anytime! We've got this peoples!

I actually found a cigarette in a pack in my car today and threw it in the bin!.. It felt damn good too!

Into the double figure's now cold turkey with no slip ups. My beloved wests tigers lost again, and I've had a few drinks too, it's really tough going today. Onwards and upwards there is no going back to what I once was. 😃
