ITS TIME
Set my date, looked at how much money I will save and now have to get motivated. Went to shop tonight and DID not buy cigarettes. Decided its time to do it. I dont like my little grand kids watching me smoke. I know I will feel better and sleep better ir I give up. I have given myself one more day of smoking and then its over. I am so over everyone nagging me its been a long long time that I have smoked and its time to give up before a doctor tells me too. I have also started a new job and I dont like the feeling they can smell cigarette on me even though they dont comment as its not a nice smell in fact it stinks so bad. If I can go for hours at work not smoking why not extend that. I only have 1 cigarette in 6 hours so need to just work on that. Trying to get started Trez
Well done on not buying smokes....Well I think this new job is a blessing , it has showed you that you can achieve this no doubts about it. What method are you using, cold turkey,NRT? Well which ever method you are using the best of luck to you.
Hi, I also got sick of people nagging me I know it sounds immature but the more they nagged the more I wanted to smoke. The nagging stopped a few weeks ago as I think they gave up on me so now I have quit. A new job and not smoking sounds like a positive start.
Well done on making a choice to be a non smoker it's also great when everyone eventually finds out instead of nagging you get encouragement
Going NRT tomorrow. I am the same as "by humble" the more they nagged the more I wouldnt give up. I have not told anyone yet I just want to get through it alone with help of the quit line. So will see how I go tomorrow.
Hi Trez! YOU CAN DO IT! I'm on day 6 without one ciggie. I REALLY CANNOT BELIEVE I'VE DONE IT! It's still a struggle sometimes, especially when I go to the shops.... I steer clear of the registers that sells smokes... I'm trying to change my routine, habbits etc and do different things. When I feel like a ciggie I take long deep breaths, it actually works.... and I make a coffee. Drinking too much coffee, but hey, can't give up everything that's bad for me all at once hey! Good Luck! Stay strong! I have found that this site is really really helpful and supportive, who would have thought? I guess because we can all relate to each other. Keep smiling and keep breathing :-)
Hi Trez, hope your going well, this is day 9 for me, everyday gets that little bit easier for me, well overall easier. My cravings get fewer but are stronger when I do get them. I am finding this more an emotional/mental thing for me. I was the same at work too, I hated everyone at work smelling me as I knew I stunk terribly. I think this site will be great for you, it is so good reading everyone elses stories, they give you that little bit extra motivation it is so nice to be able to talk about it all the time to people who are going through the same thing, as I think friends and family can get a little tired of hearing it. I wish you every success!! You can do it. :)Enjoy your new job, new opportunties, new you!
