day 2
Well, day 1 of giving up smoking passed without event. In the end I didn't need to use one of the nicotine puffer things that I've got. I did notice that I woke up at about 4.30am and then dozed at 30 minute intervals until about 8am, when I got up. I can only assume that this had something to do with the nicotine withdrawal. Today, I feel all on edge. My arms and legs have a slight buzzy tingle, as if I'd had a few drinks. I have an odd feeling in my stomach. It sort of feels like hunger, but when I thought about it, I think it is closer to how I feel when I am anxious. I guess giving up smoking is quite a big deal for me. I have smoked full time since I was 19 years old, that's 26 years with a fag in my hand. That's a lot of cigarettes. I'm trying hard not to think about cigarettes, but every time I stop for a moment, my first thought is to have a fag. I'll keep you posted.

How about - if you're home - every time you think about a cigarette, you give either Mrs. McMuffin or Babycake a kiss/hug/other form of affection?
You know Mrs. McMuffin and Babycake will like it :-)
And if you're at work? Hmmmm.....eat a carrot?
Ideas?

My partner, Lyndon, is doing very well with not smoking. He is coming up to 2 weeks without a cigarette. You can do it - just keep thinking of that Mac notebook thingy.

I gave up a couple of times - it was easy in the early stages because it's all 'look at me, I'm not smoking, aren't I fab?' When that wears off it can be a bit shaky and that may be the time that it may be tempting to have 'just the one' which is what I did. I'm off them again now, but I know that there is no such as thing as one cigarette. Good luck.
