Day 2 and a newbie

[nsd_user663_1927]

Hi everyone, I'm new on here and on day 2 of giving up. Its not to hard, has I'm not at work atm. Which was the main place I smoked. Am having a few cravings though and I'm due to go out tomorrow night. Which I think is going to be a hard test. I'm doing it cold-turkey. I have tried twice before. But this time its for good.

Hi Pipple - Welcome to the madhouse!!! I guess you've read all the tips on other posts - just gather all help you can and know that you can do this!!

Going out is tough.. in fact it's one of the hardest barriers to cross - so if you can stay strong whilst you're out and keep all your reasons for quitting in mind by Saturday morning you'll have jumped a massive hurdle and think how positive you'll feel!!!

Glad you're here - stick with us...

Hello Pipple

Welcome to the forum x x

Day2! well done x x

Good luck on going out! have you thought of anything you may take with you to do to get through cravings?

[*]Chewing gum

[*]Something to fiddle with

[*]a photo to focus on

[*]vaseline to put on your lips etc?

Sounds odd i know but these things can help! really! lol

Keep strong x x Keep us posted!

unfortunately, I gave up, giving up.

But I'm back and this time, nothing is stopping me. Doing good when I'm in the house, cause I don't smoke there. But once I get into the car, the craving starts, but this time I've brought some chewing gum. Going to try and start walking places to break up.

So bring on day 3.

Welcome back pips x x

Thats it, theres no fail if you get back to it

Brush it off and try again, this time round you have experience on what helps and what to avoid. 2 steps forward one step back syndrome, with the 2 steps you just took now, your still a step ahead from before.

well done stay strong ~Buffy x

You guys are such a joy to hang out with. I look forward to this time every evening. 9 more days and it will be 2 easy months for me thanks to Champix/chantix. 1 more month of it! I really never thought I would ever quit. You guys have kept me on the straight and narrow. Couldn't possiblly be able to tell Linda, Buffy, Barb and Whiteboy I failed. That is unacceptable, so, my hat is off to you MY FRIENDS!
