hesitation, losing a friend
Every time I get close to quiting, I lose all self control, and buy another pack???? And say to myself, I am just not ready, too much going on??? What is that all about??? It's a fear of being bored. I know. And to ambush myself, I enrolled in a course, online. Talk about needing a reason to fail??? That is perfect, What was I thinking. I failed the entrance exam, just found out today. So, is this set back just another reason to buy just one more pack??? Or, Do I toughen up, and just try to quit on Sunday, and see what happens. Can't hurt. I think I will stick to my guns, and quit :)
By losing self control is also letting your confidence wain.
Boost yourself up and be determined in what you want in and from life
If we all let issues in our lives stop us doing things we wouldnt get anywhere.
You say Sunday, let it be your start of your no more smoking day.
Well let it be this Sunday you can do it.
Use the time wisely, Talk to quit line. I did a lot of shopping in advance even froze milk. I made sure I had no smokes. I told nobody. Oh yeah I brought water and stash it all over the house and car. I made my walking plan for twice a day sometimes 3x day.I took all pressure of myself and told no one . NOW STOP.
Hi again Trish, sorry I wrote heaps more to you than are you on champix ... But my phone died and that got posted??? Lol.... Anyway stick with a plan and maybe not cold turkey??? Cause I love to smoke for a break, while driving, when I wake up, when I am drinking, for a reward, cause I am bored etc etc and have done for 20 years... like you i have had enough...and I tried cold turkey and lasted about 2 hours!!! Lol lol . i am now on day 5 of champix and yesterday my total smokes for the day was 5 instead of 20.... My quit day is day 10 so I can get used to the idea for a while but to tell you the truth, this medication makes you not really wanna smoke and its only early days!! A little bit of will power needed but I think you can DEFINATELY do this!!!!!! At least on champix you have a countdown day and its not straight away!!!! Yep cause if I knew I had to stop tomozzi I DEFINATELY would buy cigies .... Have confidence in yourself, you can do this....... Kazzi
Thanks everyone. The comments are defineatly helpful. You are right, just do it, and see how you go? What can be the worst thing that can happen? I can see where I go terribly wrong, it's my time on my hands. Will make some sort of walking programme, boxing, and writing which I love to do. So, when I do all this, my day is full. As for Champix, I got horrible headaches, and stopped it, by doctors orders, of course. Also tried patches, no good. Tried hypnosis, not a good candidate for that at all. Gum did some good, and will certainly try that again, this time around. But, it doesn't look good. A tip I got was to drink Cranberry juice when you get the urge? haven't done that yet. Will give it a go though. Once again, thank you ALL for your support :)
