Stress

I have picked up the damn fags again.

I have had such a **** day... I brought 10 fags. They taste nasty, smell nasty and didn't make me feel any better!

I will quit again when my personal life settles down.

Sorry guys, I feel like I have not only let myself down, but you guys too img439.imageshack.us/img439...

Personal Problems

Hi Green

don't give up - I had a fag last week after a bit of a tiff with the wife ..... please try to quit again. Why wait?

Giving up is part of the solution

and carbonneutral has a very valid point! read this x x Haven't posted anything for quite a while. Have been reading posts from others and its great to see that so many of us are still off the cigs and that our ranks are swelling.

Well - its been almost 5 weeks since I quit. Unfortunately, I fell about 10 days ago ..... had a bit of a tiff with the wife and had a two cigs in a row. Problem was that I enjoyed them. Afterwards, I really felt like crap and felt as if I had really let myself down. Its scary how adictive cigs really are. I've been feeling the benefits of no smoking for a month and then had 2 cigs and they felt good ...... :mad:

Anyway, I didn't smoke the next day or the next or the next ... and so on until I've been 10 days off them again. Ran 6 miles in under an hour last week and can do 50 push ups without turning blue .... so its all good and is really paying off. But those 2 cigs did cost me - it took another week before my lungs started to continue their clearing out.

I suppose there are a few things we all need to be careful about as our quit times get longer

- don't under estimate the power of nic

- don't assume 1 cig is no big deal

- don't assume it is easier then it really is

- avoid stressful situations

- as the novelty of giving up wears off, don't assume the power of nic wears off

My physical addiction to nicotine is over ... but my mental dependancy is still there and I need to be under constant vigilence to keep it at bay.

Good luck everyone - keep at it. May the force be with you !!

anyway, whatever x x x we are here for you riz you know that x x

HAY YOU, NOW COME ON.... don't be so hard on yourself!

Acknowledge what you've done... and accept. Making yourself feel bad will only give you another reason to hold on to that fake 'crutch'.

You smoke till you feel ready to stop again... but don't be so hard on yourself.

You've not let anyone down - we are still all here for you!

Thanx Guys

Thank you folks.

I do intend giving up again.

Dunno why I thought the fags would make me feel better... in fact I feel like crap now.

My life is a mess and thought smokes would help... go figure!

Keep up the good work... you should all be very proud of yourselfs

[nsd_user663_1702]

Have you given up now or are you going to set a date? You can do it this time. You went a few days without one, you don't need them. It is hard, but worth it in the end.

Good luck
