    Plan what you're going to spend your smoking money on.

    I found a little bunny rabbit yesterday, and he was all cold and shivery and looked quite sad. So I picked him up, and prepared a little tray for him to sit in. Then I put him in a nice warm little box.
    Then I set the little box to gas mark 7 for two and a half hours.
    That was one tasty bunny.
    Good luck staying off the smokes.

    That is what your lungs will be like if you start smoking again.

    I'm off them 2 weeks and 1 day. The first 48 hours is the worst definately :D. I was like, wanting to punch walls and sh1t.
    Every time you think of smoking, you have to remind yourself that the nicotene craving is trying to fluck with your head. You DON'T NEED to smoke. At the end of the day, quitting doesn't involve doing anything, it involves not doing something. All you have to not do, is go to the shop and waste 7euro.

    I'd say the cravings now aren't as frequent as they were but they're still annoying. Oh, try the screaming in a pillow technique :)

    If it's any consolation, the Nicotine should be out of your system 48 hours after your last puff, so from here on in you are just fighting a mental battle.

    Remember, pain is only the feeling of weakness leaving your body!

    Giving up myself soon, will go back on the patches and it was almost too easy the last time.

    Maybe a bit of biting pillow might help me!!!

    I hope my mother in law doesnt ring for a chat this week, I dont think I can face being unneccesarily nice to people!!

    I am still off them, but am very emotional today, Got very upset over the littlest things, tears and all.

    I dont want a cigarette, Ithe last thing I want is a cigarette....

    Does this sound familiar?

    yup. but not tears though, I'm far too manly to cry. preferred breaking stuff myself. i think it's a sign that your entering the psychological battle now, as opposed to the sheer physical want.

    distract yourself... play video games, read enthralling books, films, music, whatever it is that floats your boat. just something escapist..

    Life seems brighter today, I am usually like a lunatic when I get up in the morning (Pre cigarette of Course), Today I feel quite relaxed.

    Am I over the worst already?

    Mood swings seemed to have settled down a lot, Not missing them much at all. Have had a night out on the piss and still didnt smoke so it is looking good.

    You might have a day that feels like Day 1 all over again. If you do, don't panic, just keep telling yourself it will pass soon. I found for the first six months, I would have really good days and then out of the blue, a really bad day for no apparent reason. I'm 8 months off cigarettes today!
