I think the penny has finally dropped
It has been 1 week cold turkey for me, I'm finding it ok so far, couple of times a day I think about smoking, that is when I come on here to read other stories but lately there isn't many stories or replies to read and I'm not good at giving advise I like to read the advise given, is it just the time of year or is everyone not giving advise anymore?
Hi wtq2016. I think subscribers to this site have been absent due to Xmas & NY festivities. You won't always get advice, rather encouragement. 6 1/2 years ago, I used to vent and air my reasons to quit. I found if I wrote them I believed in myself and adopted my own advice. I also quit cold turkey and many stories later with much encouragement from others on this site am still quit. We discussed effects on our health, family, friends and how we were social misfits and the negative effect on draining the $'s from our wallets. Do share your struggles and successes and comment on posts of others, even if you go back several if not many stories. Find your favourites and follow them. It is 01.01.2022. Hope you have started the year with a clean slate.
Many members from outside of Australia were unable to come back until today. So I hope others will return as well and make our community whole again. Like a newspaper, I agree we need input to be viable. I am also disappointed to see such lack of response and encouragement.
I was telling another forum how great this one is.....I will try alnd ontact everyone personally if need be!
I hope that you are now on your third week smoke free and loving the new status as we non-smokers really do. All the effort is definitely worth it!
Thank you Lia and Happiness for replying, well I was going really well for a bit over a week, then for some stupid reason I started again I don't know why I think I can have one or two and the thing is I know that I shouldn't, anyway starting again on Wednesday 19th January. I will get there eventually.
