So it's been 13h since your last cigarette? Wow you're on your first day then! The first days are the worst for me! Hold tight! 

I'm on my seventh day still! 

I worked out like crazy for the first few days! I also ate a lot of oranges. Still eat at least one orange a day. They help curb cravings and suppress appetite. Plus citrus help you flush nicotine out of your system. 

I've had quits where in the first few days I had fevers, shakes, cold sweats, a nightmare. So I searched ways to make these symptoms less aggressive. 

I also try to have a quick shower whenever I have a craving if I'm home. It helps me. 

Thank you it's kinda weird I'm only at 3 weeks and once in awhile I think of those death sticks but I don't really have any cravings. Heat warning in Arizona so I'm stuck in house but did go to YMCA this morning. How long has your quit been.

Before I retired it was about a half a pack. Retired in April started smoking too much and tried to quit. 

I get cravings sometimes. At key moments like when I was supposed to go on a smoke break, and after dinner I get a dozen. It's great that you don't have them! 

I'm on day 7 still. 

The poison is out of our bodies now. Now we have to fight the brain and junkie thinking. Good luck we are going to beat this demon.

That's right. Beat junkie thinking. Beat the demon. We can do this!

What a terrific way to get back on track, Ginger!

Returning to the Y, too, is excellent.  You are on your way!

Hugs,

Andrea
