Reclaiming My Life
I was reclaiming my life with smoke free outings. For five months I only smoked at Home. I was really proud of this but I have lapsed. Adictions are so insideous. I then decided I needed to reclaim my homelife too. So for some time I was having a two - five hour break at home. At the momment I am getting on with my morning before I smoke. Also I refrain in the evenings. It has only been half a week but I am feeling much better. I am on step 2 patches. They have clear glue. I cannot use the pink patch. The trouble is that habits become routine so quickly. I started smoking at my Sister's. It is just so hard to stop again now. I think I need to live within the day. I will assure myself that I will be okay without today. My senses will be brighter. My Husband says my skin is looking better. He also says my teeth are whiter. I have seven smokes a day. I can fel my life getting easier. I am gaining control.
Hey Penelopejane.. Why thank you for the post on my wall :).. I'm still going well, Although i am finding this month a bit hard.. BUT 34 days and still a NON smoker.. I need to stop eating tho! haha , but i know that will pass :) YOU CAN DO THIS.. Go to the chemist and buy some "rescue remedy lozengers" .. When you get a craving have one of them, IT REALLY DID HELP ME :) .. Keep me posted how you are going … Cheers to a nice Cuppa !
hey penelopejane.
remember, every smoke you dont have is one closer to quitting. you are doing really well.
it is such a difficult journey, but well worth it! with help from friends (in person and on here) you will be beat it.
stay strong

Hi Penelopejane. Have seen responses you have made to posts on this site. Last one you seemed to have hit a brick wall. One of the many good things about the posts on this site is that others actually care and hate to see some one struggling. You were on this site before I found it on 30th May, 2015. Haven't looked back and up to day 178. Hope you find your inspiration. BigJon's view of the stupid craving did it for me. You wouldn't believe the number of people who start a conversation with me and ask how is "Maggie"?
