    Hey CharlyGirl - your Day 4, my Day 3. Hope you are still going strong. Am a bit worried about you because you have been posting everyday and there is nothing today. I cannot believe I have even made it this far. I am not going back.

    I think I drank lots of coffee to help hide the taste of smoking. water never did it..im only having maybe 3 to 4 cups a day instead of 6 to 7.

    I think about smoking too when im in the middle of doing something like i'l b okay I just have a smoke and by the time I finish that the other thing will b ready..i a still doing that but of course I stop and say you don't smoke..lol

    Hey CharlyGirl - my day 2 smoke-free. I am 35 hours along. I even managed to stay away with my wine last night. Just get past that mornong smoke and then you won't feel like you have broken your 'diet' before you start the day. Good luck for day 3.

    Interesting that you have cut back on coffee. Recently read up on nicotine and one of the things it does is increase the rate at which you metabolise caffeine. The same amount of caffeine without nicotine will have double the effect. Although I've gone cold turkey I haven't really managed to cut back on coffee. I suppose that will be next. Do keep checking in - it helps others as well. Cheers.
