Day 1 today in my lifelong love/hate relationship with smoking. I already know that day 3 is my worst enemy, day 21 is my risky complacency day and any form of high stress just sends me straight back to the cigarette counter BUT this time i have new tactics.

I had food poisoning and was extremely unwell and could not smoke-so now 2 days later I am telling myself the first cigarette will make me feel ill. Crazy as it sounds I can not smoke unless I have a drink as an accompaniment so have told myself that I can have a cigarette without a drink (YUK). I am missing them, I have so many gaps to fill. I am keeping my quitting a secret in case I jinx mysel...

Hi guys tomorrow is the day I’m stopping this habit. I have thrown out all cigarettes and everything. I’m a little bit nervous because my previous attempts have failed.

Well technically 3 days 17hrs smoke free, but just finishing up Day 4. This was the 1st day I was worrying about, since I was back at work. I do a lot of work related driving and usually spend my days smoking while out and about. Before my quit day I practiced a few times driving to places without lighting up to show myself I could do it. Think it helped becuse I got through today quite essily ...

I am wanting to give up again. Finding it very hard. Please help I have had a few attempts to quit. Just need motivation & support.
