Try finding another outlet for your stress. What about sit ups and push ups as punishment every time you want a smoke? That will keep you from thinking about it ;)

Please, don't do it. Try some nicotine Gum. It helps seriously to overcome crisis. Do not allow cig'ts control you. Stay healthy. Pray, sing, walk, ....don't smoke anymore. After another 10-15 days your body will be cleaned enough, to start finally a new life. Life without cigarettes. Just don't smoke now, please.

I quit 18 months ago keep going. You are doing so well now!!!!

I promise you each week will improve. If you give in you might as well not of spent 13 days suffering. Why do it all again if you really want to break away from the slavery of tobacco.
I know where you are feeling right now and how I was also in the same way. I just kept going somehow refusing to quit, I had gone so far and I PROMISE you if you get through the first month you really start to gain ground fast. Join a Yahoo Quit Smoking Group. You are going to crave because you are breaking free of the slavery of addiction. It has to hurt at first but it will ease off more and more the first 2-3 weeks are the fundimental weeks because your body is going through a lot of changes. I was not even thinking about cigarettes (I mean craving them) after 3 months I mean not craving at all, I woke up and didn't feel the bad need to light up. You can do it, if it was too hard too long nobody would be able to quit but thousands and do and millions have. You can be one of those people that made it.
You are in your early days I stop counting days after about 6 weeks and counted weeks that is when you know you are improving. Now I count months only.
You will be suprised looking back how quicky your quit days build up and when you get your first month that is a fantastic feeling of achievement. If you smoke you will be reseting the 13 quit days you earned back to 0. Do you want all that resolve and effort to be tossed away for a stupid cigarette and only feel bad and a loser for after? Regret will hurt more than the want of cigarette.
YOU KEEP AT IT! I AM ON YOUR SIDE !!!!

Hi Nicola,I gave up 6 weeks today,try and keep it up hun ,it does get easier and easier.

I gave up by reading "the easy way to stop smoking" by Allen Carr,its absolutely brilliant,he has got a 53% success rate,and recommends you dont use Nicotine replacement.

You could still read the book even though you havent smoked for 2 weeks,it really helps you.

For now though ,just remember the craving only lasts for a few seconds,just get up and do something till its gone,thats what I do,or sip water thats another good thing to do.

Good luck hun,your already a non-smoker.

not quite dead yet
Remind yourself that you don't smoke any more and deal with it. Get hooked on information instead, and make it your only addiction. And have lots of sex and work out every day.

It will pass and remember..........you dont want to have to go through all the horror you went through for the past 13 days again do you?? Now GO!!!!!!

Well done for stopping and congratulations on almost hitting the 2 week mark! You can do it - you've done so well so far. I gave up nearly 9 years ago (it'll be 9 years in January) and all you can do is take it a day at a time. Go run yourself a bath, or put on your favourite dvd........ or just have an early night with a good book and a hot chocolate. Don't sit and dwell on it - the cravings pass before you know it. Hang in there xx

Get up away from your computer.
Now go do 10 - 15 mins of exercise

You can do this - you know you can

You can do it

Find something to do

Go for a walk, run, etc. Play the guitar, sing, watch tv - just keep your mind off the cigs.

2 months for me. You can do it!

Remember "you control the Nicotine, it doesn't control you". I used this practically as my mantra wen I was giving up.
Use the nicotine Gum too. It works a treat.

of course we can!!! if anyone posts anything stupid just try to remember that they don't care and are being dumb.

after 13 days you should be rounding second base. don't quit now. you have made it through the worst part i am sure.

i am quitting on Christmas and am willing to support you fully because i know that i will need support. try eating a candy cane and see if that helps.

if you need more encouragement. please email.

I quit recently too. You are going to have times like you are having now, but they get further and further apart. Be proud of your 13 days...too proud to throw them away. At 13 days you already have most of the Nicotine out of your system, and remember, it takes 3 weeks to either form or break a habit, so you are almost there...hang in!
