tell me about it Kylie.

Hope you are going well.

DH came home the other morning and busted me . So we decided today is quit attempt 3. The day was going well till this arvo when the mess in the house issed me right off. I was yelling at the cat, Lacey, the dog, the teddies....you name it . I just wanted that 'one' smoke. I worked out it was just the time to me i craved, as Ash was busy working thw back. I got throught it. I had a big glass of water, and blow me down, it worked! I thought that was a load of sh*t, but nope, i got through it.

Better go before i strangle Jacob for not doing his reader!

Support to all...

sh*t sh*t sh*t. I hate tese days. Lacey is p*ssing me off and all i wanna do is have 5 mins to myself. I wold usually go and smoke, but i am not going to do that, so what am i spose to do?
I haven't had one since Sat night and this time i am giving up wothout using anything. I shokld have been on the patches, but am worried to use one 4 days after my last to get me through. I now think it is just the habit .

I can do this.

Anyone wanna join me?

Just cruising the buddy threads and couldnt not reply to you.

YES you CAN do this and your doing damn well to not have one for a few days!

I know its hard as to stop but once you do it for good you will feel so much better! I quit cold turkey and it took time to stop wanting to grab a smoke every time i was stressed or p*ssed off but it does get easier.

I also found it better (after many failed attempts at stopping) to say that you are "stopping" smoking rather than "quiting" smoking.
The quiting thing just has a negative connotation to it that really didnt put me in a good frame of mind since when you quit other things its usually a bad thing iykwim?

So I say to tell yourself that you are STOPPING smoking because it sounds more like all of the power is in your hands and it sounds much stronger , and will hopefully make you stronger in your resolve to stop for good

Good luck!

Hi girls

I thought I would pop my head in here. I am a smoker and am trying to quit but with things fairly stressful in my life at the moment I am finding it very hard to do...

[--shazlee--]

Hey all. I am going sooo well. I am happy and i am not punishing myself for having one with a girlfriend twice a week. sh*t, it is better that what i was doing before.

Thanks ~Chelsea~. I have remembered your advice since i first read it. Helped me heaps.

Welcome Mandy. How are you?

I'm baaaaack. I just had a weeks holiday with my fam. And i tell ya, it was lovely not to have to worry about finding time to have a smoke!.


Loved it .

How is everyone else??

hello,

I couldnt help but pop in and say how hard it is to stop smoking!!!!!!!!

My DH and I wanted a family but he was a non smoker and said he just wouldnt try fro a family until I quit. So I went cold Turkey on the 25th April 06!!! I lasted ok- had a few lapses at parties and when AF arrived each month after being so good. I actually had my VERY last smoke on October 28th 06. As the next month AF did not arrive and I was pregnant!!

I have to say as someone who believed in the beginning this will NEVER get easier it DOES get easier. I am so proud of myself that I have not picked up a smoke since the month before I fell pregnant that I know I have given my little boy the best chance I can!!!

For those trying I know how hard it is and I wish you all the best of luck it is truly the most difficult thing to do!!
