Its been 3 whole days since Ive had a cigarette, but it seems like a life time that wont end. Yes Im trying to quit, but after 20 years of smoking I didnt think it would be so hard, I mean I did naturally not smoke when I was pregnant but that was a pregnancy thing. Im down to counting the minutes. I feel like I want to go to bed and not wake up until the cravings are gone, is that a natural feeling?I have to drive into town tomorrow to get some shopping, I realy dont want to, I know Im going to want to buy a packet and have just one little puff, but although I know that puff is going to make me sick, what can I do to stop that urge ahhh help......

I'm proud of you Ruralchook! Well done! Every time you get a craving, come on here to MyLot and reply to ten different discussions. Quality replies to quality discussions. Once you've done that the urge should have somewhat passed. If it hasn't - come in here and reply to another ten quality discussions! Before you know it you will have amassed a nice little sum of money and hopefully gotten through another day/week/month of not smoking. Good luck, sweetie!!

Idon't smoke,but I have seen many people I know trying to quit. It seems to be so hard. I wish you good luck. My Grandfather was able to quit after 50 years.
