Tomorrow is the day
Newbie here!!
Tomorrow is the day i have chosen for my quit day! New day, new month, new season, new me (being smoke free)
Im on my fourth day of champix and take my first night tablet tonight. Ive only had one nightmare but wow what a nightmare it was.
I didnt have a smoke until after 12pm today where usually i would have smoked around five and to be honest i think i only smoked it cos it was there. I wouldn't have wanted it if i didnt have one. That made me proud. Small acheivements are always the best. Ive never made a proper attempt to quit cigarettes until now. I really enjoyed smoking but i just turned 34 and i think its time to quit as i have smoked since my early teens. Im feeling confident that i can quit and confidence and self esteem doesn't come easy to me.
Thanks for reading
Hi Sammi, I wish you all the best. It's a tough thing to do but you are definately in the right place. I have found it is imperative to continue on this site no matter what. I am on my 8th day today without a cigarette, right now I am longing to be sitting on my balcony with a drink & a smoke in the peace to clear my head but I just keep reminding myself of the benefits I have experienced over this last week & how much better I feel (one is a CLEAR head!) so I actually don't need it my heads already clearer without it. I was with this site for 4 months previously but started up again & lost contact with my wonderful support group here until now. This time I will stick with it & keep updating & reading here, it is such a massive help. Good luck.
Good luck Sammi and Sharn, Lots of mind games in the beginning. Your mind keeps telling you let's have just one smoke and that's it, and then one more, and on, and on. Resist temptations one at the time and they'll go away eventually. Physical pain will go way too. Good luck in your quest.
