Smoke free nearly finished day 24, can't believe how much money I have saved. I should be so happy with myself but with all the s*** that is happening around me just makes me feel low. However, I am stronger than I realized so will keep going one day at a time

I was chatting with a mate the other night who is doing his best to stop and more for my own hearing said, life around me wont change, I have to change, just cause I stopped smoking doesn't mean everyone is now my cheer squad, in fact they seem even more apt at testing me LOL.

I also said to him something will come up when I stop, any addiction is covering some thing up in my character I may not like, he said no just ignore it, well I think if I just ignore it I will smoke again, don't like labels but just for the purpose of this exercise my OCD has really ramped up like if I start some project it drives me nutts unless I get it perfect in my mind, I could see how that would drive others around me bonkas , I am single so its not so bad.

but I think if I need to it may help to talk about it or even share about it on here, ring lifeline, not for them to fix it just to chat, I do remind them I don't need fixing just need a chat. see a consoler etc.. just some thoughts going on in my head about how to tackle life smoke free. sure not telling you what to do just seemed like a good place to share my thoughts.

well done on the 24 days , that's no mean feet , we need to remember its a journey there is a start point but enjoying the journey is the end point, scary and exciting all at the same time !!

well done!!

Congratulations storm. Keep going.... you can do it! As you know, life is full of obstacles, and continue smoking is not the answere to our problems . If you make yourself healthy by not smoking and add exercise into your

routine, it would be a better alternative for you to overcome any challenges that comes your way. I have been clean now for 585 days, and I love every minute of it! I am very happy with myself, and I can face anything that comes my way. It feels good to be a nonsmoker, and I am enjoying my new life! Good luck!
