I'm here....AGAIN
I am here again....about to start my quit journey for the 3rd time in as many months. So cranky and frustrated with myself that I relapsed and started puffing away, wasting all that money and putting those dreaded things in my mouth again. So here we are....back to square one!
Been thinking to quit again over the past couple of weeks, I have been reading the posts on here which are quite inspiring. I feel so proud of those of you who have managed to quit and stay quit for as long as you have and have thought...."I want to be be one of those"....so this is it.
I gained alot of weight with my first quit attempt hence I have been walking in the mornings and eating healthily over the past week to get a "new" routine & plan in place to help with the weight gain with this attempt. My mind is set and its time. Tomorrow is my quit date.....wish me luck!
Good luck AMD!!!! 3rd day for me being quit and I'm feeling amazing!!
That is great choosing life! 3rd day that's fab! U sound like me...smoke before and after and during....it's crazy isn't it! I did so well and 'buckled'! My heart isn't ready for it but my head says...it's time be strong and push through it! This week i have started walking and gave walked the little extra ...(well so the pedometer says so and my legs too) all the while pushing myself and trying to gain the strength to quit this evil habit.So I'll join u on this journey ... And everyone else .... To smokefree days.....cheers x
don't replace food for cigarettes, it is alot easier to lose weight than it is to get rid of a smoking related illness, i use to do everything with a cigarette but when i decided to quit i changed my routine try not to have coffee for awhile,i am 94 days smoke-free and still going strong well all the best.
94 days! Whoo hoo....that's fabulous for you 'stoprightnow'...u must feel so proud of yourself! Good for you! replacing food for cigs is where I went wrong before thinking I'd be able to control it...but it didn't happen hence one of the reasons I buckled. I won't let that happen this time...I enjoy walking...especially along my local beach in the mornings and am making a point of changing my routines & eating better to help me on this quit journey. This is hard...a battle I've tried to conquer before...I know in my head what I must do...its crazy but am determined it give it a shot! Continued success to you!
Do it AMD it is well worth it I opted for the 24hr patches and am taking them off after about 8hrs I'm 19 day's smoke free and will be nicotine free before the end of the course and I feel fantastic so do it. ALL THE BEST
All the very best for tomorrow and keep posting. Are you planning to use any form of NRT?
Go for it AMD! I'm on my 2nd attempt on champix and am feeling heaps more committed this time. Good luck
Hi AMD, Good for you on starting the quit journey and remember it takes courage to quit. Stoprightnow, has a point on the mistake of replacing to smokes with food. I think I did that as two stone piled on. It is disheartening but you are still smoke free. Get out as much as you and don't stress to much on it focus on the smokes first the weight can come later. The best of luck and keep posting, look forward to hearing your posts.
Its a life style change , keep trying it will happen because you want it to happen, stay strong , one day at a time will turn into more days. I am now 232 days after many attempts. Each time you have tried has made you more aware what to do for you and makes you stronger.
AMD, your story sounds just like me. Struggle with heart and mind. We CAN do this just need to find that strength from somewhere?
