Day 30 but still scared of failure
Off to Canberra to catch up with my family on Monday. Problem is, most of them smoke. The sister, brother and their partners smoke. Although I'm not feeling too anxious at home, I am so scared that I'm going to just light one up when I'm there.
I DO NOT WANT TO EVER START AT DAY 1 AGAIN!!!
Is feeling this enough to not have a smoke when I'm with them?
I have found this website great and even reading back over my own comments and stories have helped, so I will make sure I can jump on this website a couple of times a day while I'm away to keep me strong.
Wish me luck guys. Can't wait for the day when I know I will never smoke again. Just so hard when you hear of people who have given up for a number of months/years and then take it up again.
Again, I DO NOT EVER WANT TO START AT DAY 1 AGAIN!!!
I know exactly what you are feeling, I am at day 130 so doing pretty well after 35 years of smoking, but those social situations with alcohol and smokers are the worst. For me, the non nicotine ecigs have been a life saver. I only use one in those situations so, maybe once or twice a month but just being able to have it in my hand and puff occasionally has saved me from caving! Some people would disagree with this method but I have failed many times and this time I am doing it and I am confident I will never smoke again! So stay strong and do what you have to in order to remain off the cigs. All the best to you!
I know how you feel! was at a family function today and I felt worried I would slip up however I had my lozanges and I didn't want one at all.. I'm also at the one month mark.. my family and friends were so proud of me.. I was able to still be around them and even had a glass of wine! Stay strong
