I am so proud of myself!
Hi all well it has been a while since i posted. But i can now say as of today that i am 72 DAYS SMOKE FREE!!! I cannot tell you how proud i am of myself. Although to be honest i still think about it most days and i have put on some weight which i am not happy about, but i just think that i am 72 days smoke free, who cares about a few kgs.
Can i also say that my way of giving up is not for everybody, but has worked for me. You see for 72 days i have had a full and unopened packet of cigarettes in my handbag. Yes, thats right! See my problem is that if i dont have any, i crave for them, but if i have some here unopened, i know that they are accessible but CHOOSE not to access them.
I wish nothing but success and the best for each and every one of you and want you to know that IF I CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU!!!! :-)
Congratulations on a massive achievement. You should be very proud of yourself. I totally understand your way of giving up. I too had to play those mind games with myself. I am compelled to comment though as we also shared the weight issues. But the news is good, my story goes like this...Feb 2014 was my last cigarette, in Feb 2015 I celebrated being 1 yr quit but realised it was time to start to rectify the side affects of quitting. I have now managed to lose 26kg in the last 6 months because I can Run, like run without burning lungs and even managed a 5km fun run and didn't finish last (that was my only aim). So give yourself some time and worry about the weight later, life is great and you will eventually gain control of everything and ...run free
