Day two is a b*tch. Withdrawal from nicotine is not a fun thing at all, but it does get better. I know that probably doesn't help very much in the middle of a crave, but it's true. The next couple of days will be rough, but then you'll notice it's not a constant urge anymore.

Have you gone to the section of this site that talks about separation from triggers? That should help. Also, try substituting healthier stuff (like celery or carrots) for the sweet stuff.

One final note. If you smoke a cigarette, you get to do this all over again the next time. Not fun.

Good luck!

I'm on Day Four and have realized I am also going to have to start a diet because I have ate every sweet snack in the house. Stay busy and tell yourself you don't need a cigarette because you no longer are a smoker. the feeling you are going to get in a few days when you know you can do it, is incredible. look forward to that.

Hi Katherine.  Just an FYI - this blog post is from back in 2008.  You can see the date under the title.  This member has deactivated their account.  Just didn't want you to be sitting there waiting for a response.   Nice to see you. katherinef
