The first 50 days were tough no doubt about that. However I have been focusing a lot of my time now to a health app and I find instead of checking how many days or how many cigs my focus has changed to this other app. I've changed my routine in the morning and now walk or cycle with my daughter to school. I also now cycle to work and home which I love. My focus has totally changed to how I want m...

I celebrated 50 days yesterday, and that's the operative word CELEBRATE. Smoking has been one giant handbrake on my life. The weather on the weekend was sensational and I was outdoors and about with my husband and our 8 year old daughter. I did an early morning cycle 12km, with my daughter on Sat, which we both loved and Sun same but celebrated with a nice breakfast. My daughter loved being with...

Day 48 going strong and finally hit 1000 in Savings. Not really getting strong cravings but still finding it hard to focus especially at work. I have to write lists or I'm away with the fairies, and that is the most frustrating part of it all. Wish I could be more focused and my thinking more clear. Doing lots of walking which I love and wish I could do more of. Its like every step I take I get f...

I had a lovely experience on Day 40, I was asked what perfume I was wearing caus I smelt soooo good. I was chuffed caus I don't smell like an ASHTRAY any more. I was told by the lady at the cafe but still that has given me a real incentive over the last few days to continue. It's definitely hard but definitely achievable. I often smell my hands if I have a craving and appreciate they smell good. ...

Finally Day 40, last couple of days have been hard, but I think how devo I would be to smell like smoke , have that horrible taste in my mouth and have that horrible smell on my fingers. The next day I am always chuffed that I never gave in the day before. The last 10 days felt like 6 weeks, but super keen to get to 50 days caus to me that feels like you are really having a go and taking it serio...

Still going strong. Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post. The to do list for everything from the most menial to the main things to be done kept me on track and on target . I got heaps done using this method and I just keep adding to the list when I think of things. Also finally donned the walking shoes and finding I go from arghhh to ahaaaaa, I'm not power walking but the walk is cert...

Hi all, can't say that I'm craving darts just feeling like I'm away with the fairies.Still finding it hard to settle and maintain my focus for any length of time. I feel anxious and keep thinking of 50 things I should be doing but can't focus on one. Major difference with this quit is I'm not craving a dart, so hopefully that's positive. Just feel like my energy is very scattered and not I'm not ...

Been a long time since my last visit and I return with my tail between my legs as I really thought I was winning last time. Anyway they say it takes a few quit attempts and then one day that attempt becomes the successful quit. I have been going good and although I started on patches I had a bad skin reaction and had to stop. Decided to tough it out so using nothing just willpower.Not actually c...

Hi everyone I'm back. I have been working on a project at work which has consumed every waking minute of my day , hence I'm posting at 12.30 at night. I have had a quick look and everyone is still chugging along nicely. Thankyou for all the lovely comments on my last post.i truly felt ashamed after my slip up but life moves forward and that's the direction I want to move in as well. Yes I'm back ...

Hi everyone I have to be honest with everyone I just had a dart.in the midst of what has been a shocker of a few weeks. I just pinched one of my daughters cigarettes and smoked it. My head is spinning I feel like I'm going to throw up and the taste in my mouth is making me gark . Talk about blerrrr and yuk. Anyway im disappointed but the way I feel I won't be lighting up another one. Today is ...
