ANNOUNCE YOUR PLAN
Its ben 4 days now and I haven't smoked yet and hoping to keep my self going like that.
I built a social pressure on my self by announcing that I am not going to smoke anymore I told my family, friends, colleagues and even I made a poster at work work station and displayed it on my wall where everybody could see that I am done with smoking.
during work breaks when I used to go for smoking I spend that time painting that poster and making it more visible :)
it works:)
Excellent, that's a great idea. Whatever works for you is fantastic. Congratulations on 4 days, fab achievement. The first few days are the worst and after that it gets easier. Keep going and keep posting your ideas on how to combat it. Everything helps :)
You are doing such a great thing it's so hard to get through those first couple of weeks but don't give in its so nice sitting here on 95 days and you really are not that far behind me and I have been feeling great for weeks now so hang on to that quit girl remember nope not one puff ever
Hey Sandy & Jano - Thanks for encouraging. That's all we need. & wow 95 days - I'll be hitting that benchmark soon. IA.
Its weekend here and I'll have to face some gatherings too, Friends will be offering and pushing me to smoke but I am trying my best to get over with that thing.
I went over 5 days now :)
Your going well but please don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you have a slip up you are going to feel you have let everyone down and some so-called friends are going to give you a hard time. This has to be one of the hardest addictions to give up and I have tried about 10 times + over the years. I think keeping your hands busy is hard but then a squeeze ball helps. Good luck, keep strong and remember we are all here to support you.
