Way to go Tanya! 3 hours in and you're doing it! You'll probably be anxious and thinking of it a lot tonight as you're not used to going so long without a cigarette. But just tell yourself that you're not going to break and that you can handle this tension for another hour. Don't even begin to think about tomorrow, just stay in the now so you don't overwhelm yourself. Is there a movie you can watch, grocery shopping to be done, a bath?? Distractions work, but also try and sleep well, eat well, talk to us and others well, and build up those coping skills hour by hour. It's so true when they say quitting is a process, you learn as you go, and you build up your coping day by day. It's almost a relief once you start your quit, you'll see.
