Quitting Smoking Diary at 1:51 am
Just when I thought that I couldn’t possibly feel any worse - I started feeling worse! It’s amazing how much your body complains when you change things. The withdrawals are really kicking in hard now and starting to replace the cravings. I sure know why they say that willpower is totally a requirement and that if you don’t have any willpower that you will fail.
As the day has gone on, I’ve felt worse and worse. Now this isn’t helped by funny schedules for the last few days which have disrupted my sleep pattern. I’ve nearly surrendered a few times but by having to go and buy more smokes I can’t kid myself into thinking that it will just one smoke and no more.
I’m exhausted, got a banging headache, feel like death warmed up. Gonna try and have a nap then I can get back to everything as normal afterwards.

Quitting Smoking Diary at 5:14 pm
Well, it’s now day 2 of my quest to be a non-smoker. Yes I know it’s only been just over 11 hours, but because I work nights it counts as day two as I’ve been to bed and woke up.
I’ve got terrible cravings. Feel quite shaky. It’s definitely that need for the morning smoke that I’ve had for the last five years kicking in. I am totally glad that I got though lozenges now because I am definitely going to need to have one before I can start to function normally. I just hope that I don’t get dependent on them instead. Mind you, at nearly £15 a box of lozenges I am sure not going to be able to save up much if I keep having to buy more!
I think today is going to be an interesting day. Keep checking back for updates!
