Hello!

Well, I'm 36 hours in, and although I could be better, I could be worse as well.

Had a bit of a hard time over lunch, but still hanging in there and haven't murdered anybody yet!

Good luck to all over the weekend!

Well done Violet - u r doing so well.

I'm 8 weeks in now - unbelievable!! But i still remember that first weekend.

I had my last cig on a Friday night and i was out for a family meal and around the town on the saturday. It was hard, but i was determined and the smoking ban really helps.

My tip is to plan as much as poss this weekend to keep busy, even if its just cleaning the house!!!

Plan some treats too, wine, chocolate or your favourite take away.

And just accept that there will be some hard times, ie after lunch or a meal, first coffee of the day.

I thought weekends would be really hard as i used to get up on a sat and just smoke all day long, and end up feeling sick!!! The first few weekends i hard to keep myself busy, but i enjoyed the weekends more cos i get more done!!

BIG WELL DONE again, stay strong!!

Hey VioletSky you're doing great! Just hang in there and try and "teach" your brain that every minute you spend smoke-free is not one where you're depriving yourself of something, but instead one where you're actually giving yourself a whole new life of health, energy, time and joy of being in control of situation and emotions :) ;)

Start saving your ciggie spends and watch those pennies mount up and then you can treat yourself to something very special........I bought some DMS and they are just wonderful!!
