My Quitting Smoking Diary - yours too!

Sue-UU

You couldn't be taking it at better times then, IAASA, and that's why you've been affected so little by the nausea.

You're doing wonderfully well, now have a great day at work doing all the things you think best to help you through the breaks.

All best wishes on Day 3, IAASA, and keep praising yourself as you truly do deserve to! :T

well done IAASA! Those first few days are definitely a huge achievement. You can totally do this and come out the other side victorious!

Just last night I was think I know absolutely without any doubt I will never smoke again. You will get there too. I loved Fergie's "quitting 1 cig at a time approach".

annablle how are you doing? ready to make your next attempt yet? Am right behind you as soon as you are x

Well day 3 completed, now on day 4. It's getting easier. Few cravings yesterday but it does feel completely liberating. It's amazing how much time you have when you are not trying to find time to smoke!!!

Still miss it though. Hope that passes soon.

Hi anablle, good to see you. Not at all surprised that you're feeling as you are after all your body had started to achieve in cleansing itself, but you can still turn it all around again!

Believe me, if I can do it then so can YOU! I bet determined feels like that too! We can ALL do it - even you!

Now's the time to stop, while IAASA is here regularly!! Help each other through because if you can go for 7 weeks you can quit for LIFE - YOURS!!!!

See you soon I hope.

Hugs, Sue xx

Good Morning IAASA, and very well done on 3 complete days!!! :T
Good to hear the cravings are reducing.....also by now your system is clear of nicotine!!!! :j So any 'cravings' you may still have are in your head, though a lot of it I'm sure is just the missing of them, but that will very soon pass!

Concentrate on your first post above (the liberation and extra time you now have) rather than your last.....and always think positively!

Thanks Sue. It is getting easier throughout the day!!

Once I've got through the weekend then I know I'll be ok....... May have to go to the pub and just do it, rather than putting it off. Once I've done it then hopefully I can get over it and move on.

Hi All!

Great to see so many new contributors on here.

Still going strong!

O Anablle, I so feel for you. But if you were a confirmed smoker, you would have abandoned this thread after your little hiccup, but you didn't so learn from your mistakes, don't beat yourself up about it and move on.

The fact that you have been honest about it means I am SURE you will get there.

Let's face it, it isn't an easy thing to do and you have done so, so well.

Onwards and upward Anablle, you can do it.

Thinking of you. x

Ahh, that's so very good to hear, IAASA.

I can see you point with going to the pub, all I can advise is don't overdo the alcohol, keep to a sensible level so you know what you're doing and are always fully aware.

I'd say perhaps you'd do best not to go outside to where you always used to smoke before, but then again, maybe that would be a good thing to do - only you know that.

Beware of others trying to encourage you (meaningfully or not) to "Have a ciggie". Get the phrase "I no longer smoke thanks" ready just in case....and don't listen to anyone who's daft enough to offer "just one puff or cig won't hurt you" as it will!!

Other than that, have a lovely weekend, the first in your non-smoking life! :j

Wishing you well.

Hello there, warez!! It's so good to see you again, though I darned near missed you!

It's wonderful to hear you're still going strong, marvellous news!!! :T:T:T
Wise words to anablle, she will soon be back, I'm sure.

Stay focused, warez, and have a lovely weekend whatever you do.
