I haven't told many people ive quit smoking as I know what everyone says and some will have a laugh as I told a member of my family I have quit and asked me for how long so I told him he laughed my reply was for me who had been a smoker for 37yrs a couple of weeks is terrific and I am looking forward to being a non smoker for the next 37yrs of my life hence why I'm not telling anyone I don't need the negativity which is really disappointing and not very supportive but I'm not going to fail so yay me

Hi Willson, I know what you mean. My boss said she would give up sugar if I stopped smoking (both addictive) so when I told her I'd stopped she said "that explains your bad mood for the last week then". That really pee'd me off as 1) I'd only stopped the day before and 2) the assumption that I would be in a bad mood because of it. She also suggested I'd started again because she could smell smoke and accused me despite others in the building smoking. I don't know why they have to have that attitude but I did the same as you and didn't tell many people at first. You're doing great, it doesn't matter how long you've stopped for, the point is that you've stopped. That, in my eyes, makes you amazing. Stay positive, don't let the b'st*rds get you down.

Hi Willson, congrats on starting your journey into the no smoking world.

Unfortunately you will always have negative elements around you, but you are going to be better than that, you are going to stay positive and focused in your quest, forget the downers around you,

You have come to the right place here, where you will be encouraged when you are feeling down, its a great page to use as a pick me up when you are not at your best..

Looking forward to reading about your journey.

I understand why people will say yeah right if we smoked for a long time and for me they don't care like I do they cant, so I share here and I am doing this for me not them and personally I do not care what they think, just as they don't care what I think that's just life.

maybe its sounds negative but I am more a realist than thinking they give a sh$t :)
