WHICH DAY is the HARDEST??? - Smoking Cessation Message Board

is it the 1st day?.....
do you feel like a huge accomplishment has taken place after DAY ONE?...

I think for ME?
It is more emotional/mental than physical....

Anyone?

For me it was also the mental thing more than physical. To be quite honest - the first day is hell because you either smoke or you don't. If you don't then you become and ex-smoker... For me it took a week to finally make it through one day smoke free. But the bad news is that for me it got worse. The first two or three days I was really motivated and everyone was really encouraging me - then about day 4 and 5 I really wanted to cave in. It's pretty much up and down. The biggest thing is you need some support. Thru this board, family, friends, whatever to pull you thru the hard times. Good luck!

Maya - It's day 12 for me - so still very new. I definitely DON"T have it all figured out yet. I'm just shooting for one day at a time.

Hi Maya,

For me the whole first week was rough...the 2nd week I was a little less crazy, and from that point it started easing up. Hang in there....one day you'll get to the point you hardly think of em. That's where I'm at today,...don't miss em, think about them, and I absolutely hate to even be around it. Never thought I'd see the day! Keep in up...you'll feel free from it some day too.

Best of luck to you....
