Don't falter
Keep close to encouragers. Was at a meeting last week and afterwards had a discussion about smoking. I was explaining how difficult I have found it giving up and some jerk waved a cigarette packed toward me. I realised he was the real loser and rather than make me angry I actually felt sorry for him. Tip for me is stick with the winners in this. I am 293 days away from my last cigarette and feel really proud of myself. I am 68 and smoked since I was 15. WOW. My lungs are clear and have so much more energy notwithstanding the money I've saved. Always stay with encouragers and this web page has been fantastic.
Well done Dobbin. That's exactly how I feel....I genuinely feel sorry for smokers and so glad I am not them. Keep staying positive..you certainly are a winner!!
Hi Dobbin. Seems just as keen as us quitters are to keep you on our side, so are the unconverted. Besides, we all know how easy it is to follow that path. Better for us, the road not travelled. We don't need to follow that well worn path to addiction. You would think that these days the smoker would be curious to find out how someone went about quitting. No doubt after 293 days you do not ever want to relive day 1. What a nightmare that was...
the 1st 2 days I couldn't get out of bed I was so sick even feel asleep and left the front door wide open totally off the planet , I do not ever want to forget what its been like quitting !!
weird hey my mate quit couple weeks after me I cant even talk to him about smoking its like he is total denial it even happened anyway what ever works I guess.
me I been on here every day and wouldn't be smoke free today with out you guys and for that I am eternally grateful :)
