Thank you all so much for your messages and wonderful support!! What a lovely community... makes me think that there is something really great in managing to stop if so many people stay here and support newbies. I booked myself some driving lessons yesterday and have to prepare for my theory test on 19 Dec. It took my mind off cigarettes so much that yesterday was so easy. Am very tired at the moment but my hands and feet felt so lovely and warm this morning and its lovely to lay in bed without feeling the need to have to get up and smoke. I am a non smoker 🙂

Wow Congratulaions on day 3 that is a huge accomplishment. After today the nicotine should be out of your system. You are doing good. Stay strong and stay close. Remember if it starts getting to hard and you need help title your blog HELP before you smoke and lots of people will come running to your rescue   Remember NOPE! Not one puff ever. You CAN do this

Great job on being 3 days smoke free. Good luck with your driving lessons. That will help take your mind off smoking.

Congrats, kelly9, on 3 days- you are doing GREAT! Glad you have your driving lessons to distract you. Good luck! Make sure to plan other ways to distract yourself from those nasty smoking thoughts, though, when driving lessons aren't happening. It helps so much. WTG!

Congrats on making it to day 3 - you have a great attitude! Good luck with the driving too!

You will not be so tired after a couple weeks. I noticed the first week dragged by so slowly, and I think it was because I was so dang tired all the time, not getting that lift from nicotine. But I don't need that lift anymore - the fatigue has subsided and being a non-smoker is all I need to feel great!

Congrats again!

Keep your eyes on your driving, keep your hands on the wheel - and listen to some really old silly music. That'll distract you.

Yay, Kelly, congrats on another day WON!  Distracting myself from thoughts of smoking was tough for me, but I spent a lot of time on EX and that helped me so much, AND helped in developing a new morning routine.  You are doing great, keep up the good work, and Don't Quit On Your Quit!
