Day 60
Day 60 today. I cant believe I've hung in there after my slip up weeks ago. Feeling pretty pleased that I didn't throw that towel in and I've stayed strong since. Haven't felt tempted since but I keep my guard up at all times as I know how low that cigarette made me feel. So keep going fellow quitters we can and are doing this😊😊
Yes!! You have been so good to not be defeated by that slip up. Great work Leeann, congrats on 60 days. 😊
Well here I am, another girlfriend telling that my cigarette smoking is a big concern for her and I can see me losing her. I need to give up the cigarettes, went on patches to help alleviate the cravings and now I'm addicted to them too. I hate being a smoker but the withdrawals are horrific - I struggle with anxiety on top of it and thus it helps smoking to keep the panics down. I'm hoping someone can tell me that without the cigs, I would feel a lot calmer-is that possible? I want to give up for me, not the girlfriend. I know where she is coming from and she has every right to speak up. Please help
Hi Luke John, you need to want to quit in order to kick the habit. I agree it is hard, but you only think cigarettes calm you down, they do not. You are just feeding a habit that robs you of your health and money. You need to see the truth, that we all just relied on them through addiction & nothing more. Obviously your girlfriend cares for you and she wants you to be a healthier you. In relation to patches I have used them years ago, you need to follow the program and then stop using them after the designated time, however I am not a Dr so perhaps as ps you could request a medical opinion in relation to this. Good luck and believe in yourself that you can be strong enough to do this. Take care
Thank you noodleworm, you are doing great too. Stay strong girl, you can and are doing this one day at a time! Every day we go on we get further into the journey and it does gradually get easier. So hang in there okay😊
