Yesterday was my first day as an ex-smoker. I have smoked for 23 years and have finally just had enough of it. After doing some studying on quitting, I told hubby to keep them away from me and have gone cold turkey.

The withdrawals have been very hard on me. Headaches, upset stomach, dizziness, tired and total lack of concentration. It’s taking me forever just to write this.

Anyway, I just wanted to share my good news and to add one more group of people that I can be accountable to. I have been really tempted, but haven’t touched one since smoking my last one Sunday night.

Any advice or tips are very much welcomed.

Congratulations Tess!!!! That is awesome!

Next time you get a craving just head for 'pics of men'. That should get your mind on other things.

Well done, hugs and kisses.
Being an ex 60 a day person I know what you are going through!! But it does get easier. Just keep telling everyone you are a non smoker not an ex smoker!!
So best of luck and you have my support.

Way to go, Tess!

Are lights brighter for you right now, too?

I'm insane and most insane people smoke but I should quit one of these days, too. I think once I come close to seriously thinking of spawning (shaddup, PF!), I'll quit then.

YAY congrats

Keep ya hands occupied.........

I went cold turkey years ago.....found the biggest thing was breaking the habit of having a ciggie in my hands (not so much the smoking of it)

I went and bought me one of those squishy ball thingies (tension relievers) and always had a bottle of water/coke with me....when ever i felt the urge i used to take a sip of coke and then squeeze the shit outta the ball thingy *LOL*

I also took up doing paper mache.....with hands all covered in wallpaper glue and my mind occupied elsewhere i didnt feel the need for a ciggie.

Eventually you will retrain yourself....cold turkey isn't that hard once ya learn your triggers for wanting a smoke
