hi, Im on day 11, stopped completely on day 10 but was naturally cutting down from about day 7, just didnt have the craving and if I got a slight one, Id mentally ask myself if I needed it, most of the time was no. Hours would pass and Id realise I hadnt smoked, quite straight forward. Slight mood swings on an evening but i also think that was because my brain wasnt happy about my decision. But cigs were tasting like dog poo by this point and smelt bad, most of the time Id only have half of it... if that... I wasnt getting my fix from smoking so my brain just didnt want it. My tablets made me feel sick too which put me off wanting to smoke too.Dreaded yet looked forward to day 10 as my advisor gave me that day as cut off... arggghhh... but it was relatively easy but as the day progressed and I had a couple of bad cravings... they passed quick but I wasnt happy about them. To cap it all, in the evening I was at my friends and she smokes, didnt bother me at all, no pangs whilst I was there and I stayed over. So far so good.On day 11 and no cravings, only when I woke up and thought 'damn I cant smoke' as its very much a morning ritual for me.. But honestly nothing since, might get some this evening but I will let you know. Keep on with not smoking or cutting down, these tablets are making my quitting so much easier and I know I will be sucessful. Get someone close to keep encouraging you with praise as I found that really helps x

hi again,
ReplyDeleteday 13 and havent smoked at all for 3 days now. Havent had a craving since sunday night but i find that instead my brain suddenly thinks 'oh have a smoke' but without that awful feeling that goes with a craving. But I have to admit Im a bit grumpy and short tempered (some woud say thats nothing new for me) but its more than normal.
so far Im not eating any more than normal because the tablets make me still feel sick but thats fine by me as its putting me of eating (and smoking) so its working just fine.
I have found myself dozing off a little more than normal and Im sleeping really well but with the most vivid strange dreams.. not that I mind, its different that not remembering my dreams for a change.
Im getting lots of support from friends on facebook which really helps keep you strong and pleased with your progress, everyone has a slightly different story on how they stopped but its good to hear of so many sucessess.
keep it up x
