Thanks all - and carry on - and be strong you new starters!
Hey, this is such an amazing supportive group / site; I recommend EVERYBODY to join in, everywhere. Just glimpsed one post - oh wow yes Hi-5!! - call my insurance co - I am NOT a smoker!! This is like Month 3 (since mid-June) no smokes for me; don't need them. Can I also be honest & 'fess up? I do have the odd drag of my partner's smoke, maybe once every 3 days (!!one drag!!only). I enjoy it, but I don't need any more than a drag. It's a memory-trip? This is not helpful for zero-tolerance people I know, sorry, but can anyone explain? am I just flirting with danger given health-scare; in stress right now w u don't need to know; am I just stubborn? ... yep. I have a habit of not needing support when actually I do. Probly like a lot of you too. STAY STRONG!!! & enjoy every beautiful thing in your day, look for them, there are lots - and they don't involve ugly smokes :-) xx
Hi JuliaC, I hope you are able to continue just a drag here and there?? After 6 months of being quit I went on holiday and thought 1 wouldn't hurt. I so wish I hadn't now as I have to start all over again. 1 drag leads to 1 cigarette which leads to more and more over time. My advice, just don't do it, you're still feeding the demon that sits and waits for you to slip up. I now have to battle with the demon again!!! Good luck :)
Thank you Gina A - you are so right ... I do NOT want to do this all over again. Right now it's very easy to say "no" - so I should carry on saying "no". And be firm with my (other) naughty wicked self. Despite the extreme life stresses ... (excuses ...) ... Thank you. And YOU - all the very best. You know how good it feels to say "I'm not addicted to smoking" ... Hang in there!! xx
