I'm a little over 24 hours free from smoking. I've said since I started its not a nicotine addiction but a mechanical habit. So far I'm right. No moodiness or desire to inhale, just used to reaching for a cigarette after I eat. Any secrets to success? So far it's not a big deal

I am right there with you!!! Except where you getting the smoothies

I find myself looking for something to eat instead.

I got a magic bullet and have been making my own. I was really afraid of gaining so I've been really extra careful about what I'm eating. And when I get hungry from cigarette cravings I just drink Water or tea

And yay for us for quitting!!

I was sooo emotional I quit..week later started dieting ..and was going through a break up...LOL the diet didn't last..now I started preop! And I'm back on track for the most part and not emotional..just can't wait!..so proud of Mr!!

its 5 weeks today smoke free!!!! YAY

Congrats! I too am 5 weeks today, and the cravings don't come around anymore! It feels good.

Anyone having unpleasant side effects?

When I quit in 2008 I just avoided a few things that I did when I would smoke, like talking on the phone I would smoke more and being outside I smoked more. So I did those things less for about 6 months but I quit during winter so that helped. Good luck!

Awesome! Congrats. I stopped smoking in April. I just drank a lot of water. Do you have a juicer? I did a lot of juicing and smoothies to clean my system out. Basically focused on detoxing my body. I got some toothpicks that were soaked in tea tree oil from my local health food store. I sucked on them a lot. That also helped especially when I was driving. That's when i smoked the most. I am so happy for u. you can do it

i agree. definitely avoid things that trigger u to smoke i could not drink alcohol at all when i first stopped because i felt like smoking and drinking went hand and hand,

Seems like the couple times I have quit I have gotten a bad chest cold. (weird huh)

other than that I have not had any side effects. I just feel so much better and can breathe better. I do think that smoke smells that much worse? I don't know if that is a side effect of not

I made it to 10 days today without a cigarette and it feels awesome!

The only side effect I've noticed is things don't "move" like they used to. No big deal though
