100 days
I stopped smoking a 100 days ago, I am extremely proud of myself, but still have the urge to smoke. I wish I could overcome this. I have said to my colleagues I will no longer be counting days, but from now on it will be months as I would like to be able to go from day to day without thinking this is the however many day I have stopped smoking, maybe this will help with the urge to smoke. I gave up using Champix and apart from a bit of nausea in the morning after taking the tablet and many vivid not violent dreams I found it helped me stop. My next milestone is 4 months which I have marked on the calendar. The reason for quitting is for health reasons I have smoked for about 35 years.
Wow 100 days !!!!! Keep up the good work Fiona. I am 5 weeks and 4 days and some days I just want just 1 !!!! I was talking to a lady yesterday who quit 10 years ago and still ( I am sad to say) still can want a cigarette after all this time, she said it is only fleetingly and rarely but it still happens.
The 100 days is an achievement to be proud of.
I only drop in here now and again to see where I am at and see today I have got to 1250 days and saved over #20,000.
But I remember reaching that 100 days. It was a milestone of achievement and made me know that I could continue without smoking.
Make the nest target 6 months and then ONE YEAR.
You have done the hardest bit ..... keep going.
A great achievement. It will get easier. I too spoke to someone that hasn't smoked for 10 years and he said he still wants to light up every time he gets on the tractor - yes, 10 years later. That's not to say it happens with everyone but that shows what a hold it has. I think you are right about counting the days, that's what I did as I was thinking about it each and every day. The thought would then make me imagine having one so I stopped doing that and before you know it you've not realised it's been another week and hardly thought of it at all. Keep it up. 1250 days, love it Gerry, Great work!
