I am impressed and very happy to see there is a forum for quitting. I have been on a form for weight loss and it has really helped me stay on the straight and narrow and a great place to vent.
So umm not sure how this works or where to start but I am thinking this is like a diary for myself about my new NON SMOKING journey. I have had my last cigarette about 2 hours ago and I guess tomorrow is the day I am a non smoker. Geez I am really crapping myself I have been here before and usually that new day doesn't last long !

Oh Thanks Flippy I am almost nervous to go to sleep knowing that I won't be having one tomorrow, but its my mind that I need to control. I know that much
you have defo come to the right place, i have found this site a great help so far - just look at my thread in day 3, i nearly gave in but Buffy helped me out there with some encouraging words of support.
My advice is to take each day as it comes, it's not easy and will be one of the most difficult things you will do in your life but the rewards are far greater!
Keep in there hun and keep coming back when you feel you need support xxx
Hiya, This forum is a godsend when you are sat there wondering how you will get to the next hour and surely no -one else has ever felt like this before. Read on here and you realise , theyahave , your not alone and you can come out the other side. Im on day 2 now and i would have caved yesterday if not for reading the posts on here today it really is starting to get that tiny bit easier
well day one is almost over and I got through it. Admitedly i stuffed my face with food so I feel sick now from stuffing myface, I am literally gonna take this day be day, hour by hour.
Welcome and you have come to the right place. Pull up a seat, a pillow, a tissue and a potty! The seat because you may find yourself sitting here a lot in the first few days of your new wonderful life as a non smoker. You will need a pillow because in the middle of the night when you can't sleep we are here for you. You will need a tissue because we here are a family and when one slips we all feel for that person! Tissues are also for when we laugh so hard we cry. We have great times here too. We laugh LOTS!! A potty is for - well sometimes we laugh so hard, we need a potty LOL!! Welcome to the family and we know you CAN do it!
thanks NS4M, I just trawelled through the city and this is a time I would normally go to a cafe order a coffee and have a smoke and read a book, some moments were hard others I didn't think about it.. I am still using food to distract me but i think tomorrow I should stop or really slow that down and get back on my other program and stick to tis as well. 2007 is the the year where all my bad habits will be lft behind
I feel like smoking right now !!! Fortunatley I have no access to cigarettes and coz I am in another city where everything close's down early I would'nt know where to go. I haven smoked since tuesday so that is 3 days, but what I have done is feed myself something stupid so now I feel sick !! and i know this sounds dumb but somertimes cofee and a smoke relieved me of such bloatedness fromovereating. So now I have just done a vice versa on myself, I was smoking a bit more and was able to curb my appetite and successfully lose weight, but in this last week I have over eaten to not smoke !!! So now I just feel fat, bloated and crap and craving a cigarette, and I don't know if I have acheived a happy result, or if its possible. i didn't think i was suffering from mood swings, but just reading through what I just wrote maybe I am ! I really feel like I could crack right now !!!! I don't know how desperate i feel
Not sure if anyone comes by here but since the last post which was a while I go I failed and well I am still a smoker. I feel i need to be in a quiet place so I can do this right I intend to make the month of December a non social month this month has been out of control and really the will inside hasn't been strong enough and that has been upsetting. If anyone wants to make me feel bad on something or give me some gems of wisdom to knock so more sense in me please feel free. I really don't want to go into the new year a smoker. But I know ultimatley its up to me, just right now I am a failure.
Sorry to hear your quit didnt go as planned. Unfortunately, statistically and in real life, they dont tend to go all that well, especially the first few times.
Its about knowledge, support and belief and you will get there. Good luck this time, and make sure you come around here, it has helped me immensely.
Thanks supervillan I have set a quit day as December the 3rd... I don't know how that will go as I will be on the road with a colleague who is a smoker .. but i figure i just keep trying until it works
Thanks Boudee I think I will continue to write here even though I have set my quit day for dec the 3rd, maybe it will help build up to the quit day or something.... feel like i am trying to play tricks on my brain.. but its worth a try :cool:
I have just changed my quit day and its changed to now I just was looking through the net and came across this site that had real life stories and pictures that had me in tears. I start from now. SOI will be on tomorrow .. please allow my strength to keep me away from temptation and urges I want a life to be a mother and be here
CTA, you are NOT in any way shape or form a failiure. Do not think like this. This is what the evil nic wants you to think. You are a winner for even comtemplating quitting and having the self belief to go three days. It's a cliche, but trust me, it gets easier
Keep your chin up with your new quit. Make sure you are doing it for the right reasons.
If you need some help, try whyquit.com, the images and pictures on that website is enough to put you off for life. The first story of the 30 something and the picture of him on his death bed scared the be jesus out of me!
I guess we're all different but for myself, I never responded to being frightened into quitting. Maybe I was too young or just too stupid but anyway.. enough of MEEEE!
CTA, I get a strong sense from what you say and the way say it that you're going to succeed this time! I don't have a crystal ball (thankfully since it would be quite painful much of the time) but I just feel it...
Good luck and keep looking ahead, it's 100% worth it

Oh my that is the one that I saw that fast forwarded my quit date.. it has scared me so bad I haven't even been tempted to touch one... I have never seen an image that has made such an impact
Whyquit.com does have some good articles and stuff. Personally I never looked at the sections you and greenbyname are talking about though. Just personal preference for me, its a bit TOO scary if that makes any sense.

Yeah me too, I didn't really prepare myself for what I saw.
But then we cannot prepare ourselves for the outcomes of smoking.
Whenever I get a craving, I have a vision of that poor man on his death bed, and the various other images I have seen. It quickly puts me back on the straight and narrow, but yeah it may not work for other people.
Sometimes it helps to have a little perspective on an issue such as this. But also it can really mess your head up, like scarily so. Perhaps better to visit that website if you have a stronger stomach and will than the normal person. Emphasis on stomach though..
