Fourth nicotine free day

I had a depressive episode about three months ago and ended up re-starting smoking when I unwittingly smoked a joint laced with tobacco, I hadn't had a joint or a cigarette in over a year and a half so it was a bit of a double whammy. I decided the dope wasn't for me but continued to smoke.

I am now on my fourth day cold turkey. It has been no easier quitting just because it's been only three months. In fact it has been harder as my husband re-started also (before me) so I have the added bonus of watching him go out every hour.

I have been pretty tempted, but I am proud to say that I have stuck to my guns.

    You can do this! Day 11 here and I feel your pain with the hubby that hasn't quit. One trick that works for me is when I get a craving, I basically chug a glass of water. It distracts my lungs and my brain, AND gives me one more water for my daily goal. HTH - it will pass eventually, you can hang on til then!

    My hero!!! :drinker:

    I quit last Halloween and sincerely hope to NEVER pick it back up, but I've known too many friends who have "quit" 5 or 6 times before it really stuck.

    My husband smokes, too -- and it is definitely a major hurdle! Now I won't get into his car anymore. I just can't do it!

    Stay strong and when you feel yourself waivering, drown out those cravings with the sound of how AWESOME you are!!! :heart:

    You might want to give " The easy way to quit smoking" by Allen Carr a read if you haven't already. Excellent book that will dispel any myths about smoking. I tried everything to quit ( well almost) and his book really nailed it for me. You can do it, just think about all the physical activities you will be able to enjoy as a non-smoker. :smile: No more nasty stink on your clothes. :happy: Great for you, the hard day was yesterday, day 4 you will have no nicotine left in your body...:noway: Slay the little demon.

    Congrats!!! My husband is trying to quit, but he's having a hard time. He quit for about a year and he's back at it now. I know it's a struggle, but you can do it!
