I Hear Day Three is "special"...

for 18 år siden 0 +0 / -0 30

Hi I am in the 3rd day of quitting as well. Getting craves (about 6 so far that are really strong). I kinda of sit and back and observe them and let them flow. I am finding that support and learning (like this site) help pass the time productively and I learn /re-learn techniques: Here is one I learned from Smoke Enders 1) Self-Pity is the number one reason why ex-smoker relapse 2) Which is why you must say Smoking never makes anything better! bEst wishese

Today is my third day, I've heard it can be tough. What generally happens on day three!?! So far I feel better than day one or two. I was able to shake off the "Where's my morning smoke!" without much trouble, but I still wanna be very careful. Is there anything I should watch out for as I navigate my way through the third day of being a non-smoker?

I had a very good sleep last night. It was unusually peaceful and off and on I found myself taking these really deep cleansing breaths. My body seemed to be happy or something!

With fear about being politically correct and spiritually sensitive cast to the wind, I can say that in the Judeo-Christian tradition, the third day is a pretty big deal: Jonah got spit out of the whale on the third day; our Blessed Lord got spit out of the Tomb in much the same way, also on the third day. Maybe it's the day when some of us choose to fish or cut bait, or more graphically, to poop or get off the pot? Or out of the fish? Or the tomb? Welcome back into the land of the living, in any event!! peteg [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 10/30/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 36 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,842 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $198 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 49 [B]Seconds:[/B] 48

For me, days 3-7 are the worst. All the nicoteine is supposedly out of your system after three days, so logically, that is when the craving to get some more would be at its peak. Once I got a week behind me I felt better about it because I knew I'd made one week and I had triumphed over a bunch of craves already and they weren't getting any stronger.

Hi light For me, there have certain days or times in my quit that have been difficult. It has been comforting to discover that others have gone through the same thing and have survived. However, everyone's quit is so individual. Some people have fairly peaceful, easy quits. Some make it kicking and screaming. I think it's important to have our tools ready all the time because we are never sure IF these times will happen or WHEN. Hope Days 4,5,6 etc. continue to go well for you. Take care!

Hi Light, I think it's all about attitude, if you expect something to be hard, it will be hard. Think positive and don't think ahead. You never know what happens in the next hour or minute. I had no problems with my quit what so ever. I just never lighted one up. I went outside to be in the fresh air and took my dog for long walks. I am a happy quiter and will stay one.

Sorry I can't help you light, my first 10 days all seemed to be hell! Everyone is different though. Problem days for you will be different from other people. All I can say is stay focused on your quit. And if day three is easier for you... more power to you!!! N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) Take care, Ron [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/12/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 264 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 9,253 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1782 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 40 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 32 [B]Seconds:[/B] 22

Hi light, A lot of factors play into how our quits will be, from how much we smoked, how long we smoked, how much we changed our body chemistry, our mental outlook...etc etc. Some people have a very difficult time and some get through much easier. Just be prepared for the worst although you may not experience it (think of it as insurance). Read and learn as much as you can and have a plan for times that you may feel strong craves. Begin practicing distraction techniques. You may be one that breezes right through. Congratulations on a wise decision. Be proud of and enjoy every day that you're smoke free.

If you cold turkey it, the first week sees your body ridding itself of nicotine....that's a tough time(or it is for most quitters). if you use NRT you spend that first week adjusting to a stream of nicotine from a sorce other than smoking....that can be tough too. NRTs are [u]weaning[/u] tools...they work properly when used properly. You should decide ahead what method you are going to try and then [u]stick[/u] with it for at least long enough to survive the hardest part.....the first week is generally hell no matter how you approach it....the second week is some better, but not a lot for most of us. after that you will begin to see brief periods of some relief....but the junky still comes calling in force at both predictable and NONpredictable times. Sometimes we tend to want to quit in a few days and try another method....you have to be determined to make ANY of them work. you have to want to quit MORE than you want to smoke. Then you buckle up and ride the ride. All of us are different....just hang tough and believe that it WILL finally be over and you will be FREE Katy [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/4/2002 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1793 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 71,733 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $10220.1 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 233 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 57 [B]Seconds:[/B] 24
