Stories and experiences by: Doing it for baby

Third time posting today but writing helps me, it did last time in the early stages of my journey so this is what I'll do.   After I quit last year for over 12 months I had a lot of new directions that I needed to take in my health and life in general. I have lost 27 kilos in 6 months so I am on the right path, my life is going in the right direction.  So now I need to fight this addi...

I am so angry and mad with myself!!! I can't beleive I relapsed after a year. I feel ashamed and disgusted, but I will get through this AGAIN!! See hubby and I have struggled to give our son a sibling, he is 11 years old and we finally fell pregnant again but sadly we lost her at 26 weeks and this broke me. The grieve I expereinced at that moment was a dark and all consuming horrible and nasty ...

Well I am back to fighting this addiction, I was here over one year ago and I beat this horrible, disgusting addiction and then low and behold I relapsed and have smoked for the last 2 months. So today is day 2 smoke free, I am back on the patch and this time I have learnt from my pass expereinces and I know I can do it and I wont be having just one!!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. A smoke free Christmas and New Year!! How amazing that we can have a different New Yeara resolution other then to give up the cigs!! Enjoy spending time with your families.

It's 51 days since I've had a smoke around 20 days since i stopped the patches... If I can do it, trust me you can too!!! I smoked a pack a day, some days a lot more. I always said I would never give up. But I've finally seen the light, the truth. I've finally starting living the real way. How is everyone else's journey going?

I don't feel the need to write down every bit of my quit experience anymore. I'm strong and am not going back. 41 days without a cigarette, 14 days without patches. My life has been so sad the last week. My uncle was placed in palliative care at our local hospital and I watched him fight the fight of his life for the past week. I sat with my family while he wasted away. He was ready to go to...

One month!!! I'm so so proud and you know what is strange I told one person, like one person seriously I thought I would want to tell everyone that I've reached one month, scream it so loud so that the whole world would know! But I haven't really thought about it. Smoking, cigarettes don't enter my mind much these days. It's been 5 whole days with out the patch and from my research it says nicoti...

One more day until I've hit my next big target since I've hit double digits. ONE MONTH!! It's day 4 without the patch and I'm feeling fantastic. Some of you will think I have taken off the patch too quickly, but this is my journey and I'm doing what I feel is best. Over the past weekend I felt so sick and I truly think it was caused by the patches, I felt like I was going to faint, my chest hurt,...

Today I've cut my patch in half and its weird but I don't feel any different. I thought I would feel a few cravings so far I haven't. The reason I have cut my patch is because I am on a program called Close the Gap and can get nicotine patches cheap, $5.20 to be exact but this program only covers the first stage of NRT. So I'm being cheap and decided to cut them in half. I would love to b...

Eight days until I've hit the ONE MONTH mark!! One month, I can't believe it. I can't believe I've come this far, I can't believe how easy it's been and how hard it's been all at the same time. I can't believe how beautiful the world smells, I can't believe I haven't coughed in about 3 weeks, I can't believe I can breath in and out with ease, I can't believe how sensitive my nose is. All these am...
