Going ok
Day 5 today, think this has been the hardest so far! Not at work, hubby out and have been bored!! Have had 2 nana naps so I wasn't thinking of fags so much. Will I be proud of myself if I can get through this weekend- hoping it will get easier 😊
Well Grebster, I keep hearing it does get easier. Just about finished my day 7 and like you my day 5 was really bad too but I've made it another 2 days feeling better than day 5 so there is hope. You can get through the weekend, I got through my morning with a very clean kitchen by the end of it and some lovely freshly baked chocolate brownies, I made with the kids! Gotta keep on keeping on.
First week is the most difficult.. stay strong..this is my 10th month smoke free..I can run mile now..feel so happy and clean..this link may help to stay on top of craving..

Thanks JimmG, your link & others comments brought tears to my eyes. I relate to it all & especially spending extra time with my kids now is the ultimate gift of not smoking. I've got more time and tonnes of patience. I'm having a relaxing Sunday morning colouring in with my daughter and teaching her how to press flowers & autumn leaves, it's priceless & yesterday we made chocolate brownies together. Not saying I didn't do things with them before, I'm a good mum, but now I'm better. I was always in & out and often annoyed at being interrupted smoking, trying to hide it, telling them to wait just 5 more minutes, always trying to escape to go outside. This is such a welcome releif! Healthier, happier living for all!
Dear Bronte..You are an angelic mom now..nothing to hide from..you feel clean and pure in front of your kids. no guilt. Same goes for me as well. When my younger son with learning difficulties come to hug me, I too feel the same. We are all blessed..Healthier, happier, living for all..I do agree...:)
Thanks JimmG, that was a very lovely comment. This afternoon I felt like a person starting to walk without their crutches for the first time, very happy & proud. I really appreciate your support!
Thanks for the support guys, made it through the weekend and feel so chuffed with myself!!!
Your doing so good, its extremely hard and the mind doesn't help out at all, always thinking about it and trying to keep your mind away from that thought, keep up the good work stay strong it does get easier. Believe in your self and your reasons for given up and you will succeed... nice job
