At home and having a drink to calm nerves. The night was a little harder. usually have a few cigs at this time of night and can't say I don't want one.
But not having one! So all is not lost.
Hopefully everyone is doing OK and we will get into Day 3 (or Day 2) for some on an easier note.

a drink? you're nuts!
Would it be ok if I smoked some tea or dried grass or something?
coincidentally, a co-worker quit yesterday too, so I have some support/competition at work...should help a bit.

You would think not so smart but since they changed the indoor smoking laws I have lost the urge to smoke when I drink. Add into that I am only drinking when I am around my wife who would never let me smoke in front of her and it is not as bad as it sounds.
love the updates!

we need a standardized introduction for when somebody joins our circle of love and support.
"I'm Music for Rhinos and I'm a nicotine fiend"......
"HI RHINO"
....something like that, only creative.
k, no...we don't need that.
Cravings are so frequent early on... Made it thru a full day, tho. Wasnt tooooo bad.
I wonder how many smug people are reading this going, "damn, glad I never started, these people sound like junkies".
I hate you, smug person.
deep breath.
I'm ok. honest.
off to bed to chain smoke in my dreams...(or prob hack all night...gotta love the coughing when your lungs start clearing up and healing)
Could not get to sleep until 3 AM last night. I have been drinking a lot more caffeine and the patch is feeling like a stimulant too. Forgot to set my alarm and woke up an hour late. Traffic was insane this morning. Took 45 minutes to drive 5 miles. Almost ran out of gas and I will be an hour late to work on a day where some important numbers were released.
Sounds terrible and a lot worse stress than my first day.
Did not even think about smoking! Been sucking on sugar free mints and laughing to Howard Stern.
I am thrilled! This is getting better. My chest feels a little lighter, I don't smell and I am less antsy.
Going to cut down (not off) the caf and am not dreading the night out tonight.
How is everyone doing including our new Rhino friend.
Wow BD other than the stuff not related to smoking not going quite to plan sounds like you're definitely on the up curve. Congrats
Thanks so much for all the kind words over these days. You have no idea how much it has helped!
I wish I would have thought about doing this earlier or would have joined some support group. It is so much easier when you have someone or a forum to talk through this.
No one in my family smokes so they do not get why it is so hard to stop! I guess that is why there are support groups out there for addiction. Maybe because it was so socially acceptable when I started I never considered it a social thing. Now you are an outcast.
Thanks to you and all of those who came on here to show support. I sould start a supporter list in the first post. I think I will today.
So I smoked... a whole pack last night out of fustration with the world around me... so shoot me...
I am sicker than a dog tday from doing that...
Was it worth it? No... going back to bed feels like I have the flu now from smoking all that

Well Drowned Out maybe going through what I did on day 1, but on day 3 I can honestly say thanks so much for the support! I wish I didn't inhale either. Kinda like Bill Clinton.

I am so sorry you had a terrible night! Trust me I have started and stopped quitting a thousand times and when you break it makes you feel awful.
I hope you are willing to give it another shot. Some people joined last night so there is no schedule to this. I hope you are not pissed that myself and hopefully others are going to continue to do this. I need to for myself and my family. This is the first time I know I can.

I am gonna join the crusade. I hate smoking and I'm so tired of it. Thursday September 4 is day 1 for me.
I quit this past April 12 - June 3. So almost 2 months. Stupidly started again and smoked all summer.
So I'm giving it another try, here we go...

FUCK!
ok....sleep will help.
This is why we did it as a thread. So maybe more of us can do it together.
I will add you to the tryers.
As you have done this before, you know getting over the hump of Day 1 is the toughest. Good luck! Hope it goes easy.
