First of all i want to thank you all for your support!

Secondly I want al of you to give Peace some love, he can need it... *hugs*

So... my day... its not going well... my co workers do smoke a lot, and if i want to talk to them while they are smoking i just smell it and want to have a cigarette too.... But i didnt ask for one and i dont have my own anymore in case i get weak at night... So that actually was a huge step.
But i got really stressed today at work, and longed for a cigarette so hard... even know its getting worse and worse with every minute :/

Well well... its not a nice feeling, i leave my house and already meet people on the street smoking... like i did, after leaving the house before taking the bus... or people smoking after they had lunch... like i did... But the worst will be next weekend.... When i drink beer i normally smoke like a chimney, and beer and cigarettes were always something that went together when i was out partying... I think it will be the hardest day coming for me, and i need to have a strong mind.

Right now its i think something over 42 hours since my last cigarette and my body is feeling a little itchy and my hands start to tremble at times. Even though im not a person that loves sport, i found that when i do some sports at home the need for a cigarette just goes to the background. So im trying to do more sports, what also is a good thing, since i wanted to start more sports too and it goes hand in hand now.

Again thank you all for your support and advice in times of need! You all are awesome people!

    Geez, props to you for keeping it together in the face of all the smoking people do around you. Looks like you're also approaching this in a resourceful way. By that I mean looking for different ways to fight the temptation and addiction. You're holding up pretty strong and you actually surpassed my expectations by not succumbing to all the temptations that you ended up surrounded by.

    That's absolutely great to hear. You can do it! And I know what you're going through, it's so tempting to go out and buy a pack of cigarettes, even more so when you're already in the shop. It's just so easy. The worst thing is the people around you smoking, like you said, it makes it really difficult to resist. I have about the same symptoms as you, trembling hands, itchy feeling, and sometimes even shivering or feeling cold. Cold Turkey is not something that's nice to go through. But I believe that we can pull through this. So far everyone's been very supportive.

    Again, thanks to everyone on the Everypony forums. Keep it up Valky!
