Positive reinforcement
Well people I don't want to appear to be teaching grandma to suck eggs, but if there's anyone out there who hasn't looked up QuitCoach it's well worth a go, it's easy to lose sight of how well you're doing and I found the QuitCoach last night and it put some things back in perspective (along with Winners sermon of course.... much respect to Winner).
I think it's worth a go if you haven't done it, and who knows you may find that you're actually doing better than you've given yourself credit for. Certainly works from a positive aspect as it's easy to become entrenched in all the negative stuff, which would probably be the quickest way back to smoking.
Anyway folks keep doing what you're doing and let me know if you think QuitCoach is any good.... you have to be honest when you're doing it though otherwise you won't know where you're at.
Hey RoseyK really pleased that it was helpful to you, I think you and I (and probably everyone else) have been to the same dark places and had the same, or similar shitty days and you're using the same strategy as I am, this forum and researching supports has been what's kept me going when I think I'll crack, for me the most important thing is knowing that none of us is alone in what we're going through right now and that those who have done this before have also shared their experiences and most importantly that there is light at the end of the tunnel..... speaking of which, anyone who looks at QuitCoach take a look at 'Light at the end of the tunnel' it's one of their resources and it's very simple and absolutely puts evey feeling and emotion in perspective..... brilliant tool, have a great day everyone... 3 weeks for me tomorrow!
Meanie you ROCK!!!! Much respect to Winner? Geez thanks and respect right back at ya! I used the quit coach site to see how i was tracking and printed it and kept it at hand if I got a bit wonky! 3 weeks, EXCELLENT! Keep it up - it does get easier craving wise. Head playing tricks on you wise - takes a bit longer but not too much. GO MELANIE - ha ha ha!
Damn just when I had got MEANIE worked out you had throw the bloody L back in there. Well done to you all!!! I did sign on to quit coach just to see the whatall the buzz was about and yes what a great resource. I think that everyone is doing so well that really the fact that you are looking for information and using all the sites means that you are totally committed to beating this. 3 weeks Meanie is amazing and you havent been committed or arrested so I say your dong well, keep it up!!!!
