Out they go
I have just put smokes in bin wet them that way I cannot get them out . I will not drive to town just to buy smokes. While they are in the house. I have tried a few times to smoke the Champix make them taste awful so out they go .
Good for you! I'm on my 6th week & it's 100% better compared to last week, thank goodness. I think it was in my first week, I found a full packet in our tent down the back & quickly grabbed them & said, thank god, it was as if I'd just struck gold. However they were all soggy & wet from the rain, I even contemplated drying them out in the sun!!! Then thought, how ridiculous & quickly ripped them to pieces & chucked them far away in the bottom of the bin. Such a good idea not to have ANY in the house, I know I would have failed if I did. Well done, good luck to you.
Thank you . YesI know if they are in the house I will try .Champix make them taste dreadful .
It,s a bit like losing my best friend how bad is that . In my garden trying to keep busy . I must do this .
I just copied & pasted the following from one of my older posts. I know how you fee about a lost friend but we all know deep down it's not:
I just realised yesterday that just like the 20yr abusive relationship I've just freed myself from, the cigarette is not much different. It's my other abusive relationship that's gone on for 26yrs. I thought it was there to help me, it was always there for me when I was down or alone or stressed out, it was comforting to have around. But what I didn't realise was that it was controlling me, manipulating me, bringing me down further, making me weaker, brainwashing me, isolating me & stopping me from being me, not allowing me to do the things I wanted to do, it was making me into something that I am not! It was suffocating me and in time it would eventually kill me. The worst part is, I was allowing this to happen. Why, because I thought I needed it, it was my friend, I felt bad & sad if I gave it up & desperately wanted it back, so I kept going back. I thought I couldn't live without it. Until one day the veil was lifted, I'd had enough & I could see it for what it really was. Then I got angry & strong & determined & realised I didn't need it anymore, it was in fact ruining my life....Now that I've finally left it, it's constantly trying to get that control back by telling me I need it & I can't live without it, I'm nothing & no good without it. I believed that for a long time but now I know these are all lies - I am my true self without it and that's the way I intend to be from this day forward.
That post was in the very beginning, a big realization for me. Don't let it pretend to be your friend anymore. It is a lying thief & will slowly steal away your life! Real friends don't do this to us.
How powerful is that . You are s right I, will keep reading your post each time I think one just one then I,ll be right .
Awesome job! Annemarie! You are doing great!!! Congratulations in your quit!!!!
THANK YOU One more day smoke free . I am thinking each day smoke free must begin to get easier
It really does get easier. 40 days today for me, so week 6 almost gone. It really has been such a breeze this week, what a relief. Won't let my guard down though because I know it changes. Week 3 was easy for me then I was hit with a tonne of bricks in week 5, it was very difficult but I just pressed on and people on this site helped me through. It's a life saver coming here & I am ever so grateful for the support of others & just being able to express my feelings with no judgement. Keep going Annemarie.
Thank you Bronta and jojie . I am finding as long as I keep reading what you wonderful people have written it does help . When you are home alone especially at night that is a hard one but, I have made this decision determined I will see this to the end.No matter what.
You are welcome!!! Give everything you got to quit smoking, it's truly the best thing you have done for yourself! You can do it! I did ;)
