Way to go Juls!

woohoooo! Hang in there

Okay, it has now been 33 hours... I think... no I know... I can do this!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!

Juls

It is hard work, this I know at this exact moment. But I see that smoke free gaol ahead of me saying "ONE YEAR"

I will make it and so will you..
Angel

Well the smoking thing is going well... I have smoked 3 today but that is because they were here... After tonight there should be no more around and that will be fine... Just aggravates me as I do not get a sense of relaxation from them... They don't make anything better... so why in the hell do I smoke them....

Well like I said tomorrow is a new day!! And I will be stronger!!!

Juls

A step in the right direction Hope it gets a lil easier for you. I know how very frustrating it can be.
Angel

Well yesterday I smoked 2 cigarettes and today I have smoked one.. Didn't taste very good so maybe the end is near!! Thanks Angel for your continued support!!

Hi All, Julie,

I've been smoking for about 37 years, and will be quitting within a week or so. Found Alan Carr's book "The Easy Way to Quit", which really gives a new slant on things, very helpful.

I'm very nervous, but quite determined! (double Taurus). I wish us all luck

Leigh welcome aboard!! I wish you luck!! We CAN do this!

Hi Julie,

Thanks for welcome, I appreciate it. My problem right now is being constantly swayed (emotionally) by my very dysfunctional mother and older sister. Not about smoking, they just love drama (see "fight"), and then I get weak and tired and there goes motivation, etc.

I know I must cut contact with them, it's the only way. They certainly take the "fun" out of "dysfunctional"!

I like the tips that Janetly posted too. Thanks!

Hope you are doing great, and have a strong support system.

Yours "co-dependently",
Leigh

Gonabefit.. You are trying and THAT is what matters. This is by far the hardest thing Ive ever tried to do. Day 26 here and believe it or not the last 2 weeks flew by compared to the first. If you guys ever need some support we can journal hop

Best of luck to you guys. Im rooting for ya.

Hi Angel,

Nice to hear from you. I have to go to the Library to use computer (which I do most days), just to let you all know.

Can I ask you if you used the patch or anything? I'm very scared to take the leap! I did buy a box of nic. patches.

(sorry, I am still quite new to the forum, and not sure what "journalling" means)

Keep up the GREAT work, all.

Leigh

A journal is like a diary but online. I like it to track my food,exercise and so people can pop in and leave advice.
I quit a long time ago using the regular patches and liked them, but fell off...This time when I quit I "started" with the clear patches , (HUGE) mistake for me. I had a severe alergic reaction. So if you decide to use the patch try the ones that are NOT clear.. Best of luck and start a journal if you can.

Angel

Hey Doll, just checking in on you to see how its going... so how's it going?
