Day 7 of your Quitober Challenge.
You have reached your first week of being smoke free, that is fantasitc!
But no time to break out the Champaign yet. Three more weeks to go to complete the beginning of this challenge.

Your Say How are you feeling after your first week of being smoke free? Do you get any support from your friends/partner/family? Or are you doing it alone & focused? Nicholas from UA says: "So far so good… Still going strong!! Bring on day 6!!" Helen from USQ says: "Just to let you know that I’m hanging in there, doing one day at a time.  Most of the day is easy, because you can’t smoke at work anyway.  It’s the night time that was always worst for me, so I’m now looking for things to keep me busy.  I up to tackling the linen closet tonight! Katrya from UA: "I wake up and all I want is a smoke and coffee. I am hoping my brain can turn off because I still have the urge  to smoke all day" Quitober replyed: "Katrya if you want I can post you an Allen Carr book on quitting that might help." Katrya from UA: "That would be fine. Every day seems to be getting better. I have found that as I find the smell of smoke disgusting my inclination to partake is diminishing" Quitober replyed: "If you are doing this cold turkey you may find an NRT lozenger in the morning would help you over this hurdle. You could start with a high dose lozenger for about 1 week and then reduce down to a smaller dose for a week and then not have them in the morning and see how you go. If you don't want to use any NRT perhaps going for a walk first thing in the morning - something else to do."
