Made it!

After a false start on day 1 am now happy to be on day 2. I think the (many) previous quits from this year are really helping - I'm choosing to see them as learning experiences rather than failures.

Anyone else on day 2 or are you all miles ahead of me??

Hi hbav, even if some of us are a few days ahead, it doesn't really matter 'cos we remember what the first few days were like:)

Well done for getting to Day 2e.deviantart.com/emoticons/...

It does seem like more than 2 days really. I suppose in the past couple of months there's only been about 5 days in total where I've smoked - not that I'm saying that's ok! But it feels far more natural already not to be smoking. In day to day life it's not an issue - it's just the stressed moments that I need to work on.

See to be fair I would say I was on month 3 with a few blips!! :p

Perhaps you could promote yourself?

Well I did think about it! But I want this to be the final day 2, so I reckon that means starting from the beginning again and really putting the effort in this time. I think I get complacent as most of the time it isn't too bad - then when I do get an unexpected craving or a bad day I really struggle with it.

I know it's a personal thing and I've certainly had blips before that I've decided not to count, but this time is the last time so I've started from day 1 as I know that I won't ever be going back there again.

Yeah I think it is quite a positive thing. I feel stronger this time, as I'm being more realistic about how tough it is when I'm stressed, rather than not thinking about it and then not being prepared when I do get a bad day.

Will be seeing you all in day 3 tomorrow.

ps - what's this quiz then??
