well done for today everyone it is amazng how quickly u unlearn the habit of having a fag with everything, every action every mood every event and so on.the first few days i had to keep sooo busy and ate non stop and now day 26 i only really get that 'somethings missing here - ohh yeh a fag- oh god i cant!!- awhhhhh but ive never NOT had a fag in thihs situation' type feeling, a few times a day, and at key times like on waking, eating, going to sleep etc, its not constant at all.


i have booked 2 driving lessons next week to give me double motivation!

i washed my bed linen at the weekend and last night i could just smell Comfort as i fell asleep, no smoky smell it was lovely.

Well done FBS :j nearly a month for you :T

I was stood outside of a building today talking on my mobile phone before I went in and there were a few smokers outside having a fag - now I know Im only 2 days in on this attempt but I did get a little smug feeling that I am now hopefully not chained to dragging on a fag

Morning all :wave:

Having a bad morning, still smoke-free but really battling with it. Luckily I'm at work today and nobody smokes, I was the only one that smoked and used to feel really silly trying to make up excuses to leave the building for 5 minutes then have everyone complain that I stunk of smoke when I got back. Just blew £2.40 of my unnecessary tenner this morning on a takeaway coffee and toast to cheer myself up. Think I might go to the gym at lunchtime and get myself fit for summer!

Hope you're all having a good day! How you all getting on?

Jo, your already on day 4! i got a text yesterday from the nicorette active stop online thing i signed up to which helped me thru yesterday so thought id share it with ya as your at one of those milestones!

'if you ever thought giving up was a mountain you could never climb.....how does the view look today? :-)

you are doing great, by the end of the day you will have a confidence surge! you know at the start you feel kinda high...low...high..low all day long so the low will be followed by another high at some point today

stick in

I think you are allowed to treat yourself when you are doing so well with packing in smoking

:j Day 4 - WELL DONE YOU :j

good luck at the gym - I have started going again ( managing 1 hour per day at the moment but am out of work so am making the most of it )

Well Im still stuffing my face :eek: day 3 for me. I was a bit uspet this morning. I told a 'good' friend that I was trying to quit smoking again and instead of being supportive she said 'are you sure thats a good idea considering everything you have going on at the moment' :mad: as the old saying goes ' with friends like that - who needs enemies ' or am I being a bit touchy

Anyway have a good smoke free day fellow quitters :j

ps - isnt it your night out/in tonight FieryBlonde ? hope you manage alright

Oops, I only go to the gym for half hour at the most, the gym is in the complex where I work so got to fit in getting changed twice and eating lunch too, plus side is....it's free!! Plus I get to watch Neighbours!! In fact I'd better get going, only got 5 minutes!! Stuff your face for me will ya, I don't think I've got time today

Guys your really motivating me I am mentally preparing for Tuesday going to Boots see if I can join the clinic,

I really want to stop!

Ali-OK

Hi everyone and well done too.

Sorry I haven't been around for a couple of days - been busy going to planned events (free stuff ) straight from work, but that's been a good thing - means less time to think about the evil weed!

Found things more difficult today and got quite irritated with people around me though they are being supportive and supplying mini choc bars. Not sure if that's to take my mind off smoking or to stop me moaning! :rotfl:

Still on a combo of inhalator and lozenges, will look at getting patches at the weekend when I can get to town.

Am loving the QuitNet updates - only 2 hours away from 3 days of not smoking :T

oops_a_daisy

Well I've been to the smoking cessation clinic and got 2 weeks supply of patches and inhalator cartridges - well actually about a years supply of inhilator cartridges :eek: I asked them to cut the prescription down as I really wont need that many but they said that was the minimum that they normally prescribe
Nearly through day 3 and Tescos have magnums on bogof will be joining the MSE Fat Free Wannabee group next
Been a bit moody today but only with my ex BF and he deserves it :mad:

Well done Ali OK :T if you need any more inhilator cartridges PM me

Good luck for next Tuesday itsarichmansworld - hopefully we will all still be here

Keep going Jo - you are really brave going cold turkey :T how is your childminder ?

jo1972

Morning all,

Day 5 and my chest hurts and I'm getting the clear out cough (sorry tmi!) but it's all good progress albeit a horrible part of giving up smoking. Feeling really quite moody and have to eat 24/7 but apart from that feel positive and pleased with myself that I've got this far

How is everyone else doing?

Richman, looking forward to you joining us on Tues (bet you're not!!), I hope we're all still here

Ali, well done, you're doing great!! Accept the chocolate, non-smokers don't get it so use the excuse to stuff your face!!

Oops, you're doing great too, if you have a load of cartridges left over why not sell them on ebay??! Childminder's still in hospital I'm afraid and doesn't know when she's going to be let out We're panicking for next week cos we managed to juggle the childcare between us this week but I've got not holiday left and my husband can't get any days off next week either Ah well, I'm not gonna stress about it.

Hope you all have a good day, stay strong!! :T
