    been over 2 weeks now. madness.
    now, I'm not saying this is because of smoking it could be just coincidence.. but since i quit as in the past 2 weeks.. I don't feel like myself... I wouldn't say depressed... but I just feel pretty low about certain things..

    anyone else felt a change in mental state?:(:o

    Three weeks today for me.
    Never, ever thought I'd be here.

    AlcoholicA can't say I've felt it myself, but my family have pointed out that they think I'm agitated and fidgety.
    I guess, I need to keep busy. That hasn't gone away. That could be just me without the fags though, can't say I remember, it's been so long!

    I'm off them about 8 months now, and I can honestly say that I haven't had one craving to touch another cigarette. I think I was just glad to be getting over them as the hours/days/weeks went by, as opposed to missing them.

    The key, imo, is to ensure you don't let yourself believe you're missing out on something because that will only lead to you wanting to light up asap, if you can convince yourself that they add nothing to your life and therefore shouldn't create a void when taken away, you'll get over it much quicker.

    Well........ after two weeks I gave in while in vegas..... The idea of smoking and drinking indoors?! at the same time?! That sent me over the edge, I mean i was in vegas, thats not gonna happen again, so I had to.

    Well that was 4 days ago, back to normal now.:pac:

    what happens in vegas, stays......

    Well done dude on giving up. The cravings only last minutes, so keep the head up. I still feel cravings and I'm off them since October.
