Decision Day

I have one cigarette left in my packet and want to make it my last. I have purchased an inhaler and lozenges. My partner smokes so I must be strong.

Hi Michy just keep it one minute at a time, Stop and take deep breaths and remember it does get easier as the time goes by!!! Ask your partner not to smoke around you and take yourself out of certain situations for a while! We have all been through the hardest time and are here if you need to vent, If your have a bad moment I might suggest reading some old posts on her for a giggle and seing what some of us have been through, If you have a smart phone think about getting one of the stop smoking apps, I have MLC (my last cig) which has helped me to watch my progress. Good luck and keep us updated!

Hi Michy, my wife smokes too, but I just said bugger it I'm doing this and 10 days later I'm still doing it, I even sit out the back with her and realise that after a few days they REALLY stink, seriously they smell horrible. If I'm feeling a bit vulnerable I stay well out of the way and unbelievably my stress level has dropped (I think) now I'm just cranky all the time instead of peaks and troughs (just kidding), if you really want to give up smoking, forget everyone...... else you will do it, and you'll do it because you want to.
