Hi there choco,

How are you?

I haven't been around on here much lately, I never seem to get any time now I am back at work and to be honest I am struggling a bit at moment.

I thought it better not to post coz I feel so negative at the moment about giving up and it is hard to support all the new people when you can't feel positive about what your saying. I got to this stage on my last quit and at 3 months just got fed up with constantly telling myself smoking was bad for me and had a fag coz I enjoyed it and not coz I desperately needed one! :confused:

Anyway, I have given myself a good talking too and hopefully I can get a bit more positive again and join you next week in month 3.

Love Befly xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey Befly - was thinking about you when i posted this as i know your quit the same time - so glad you're still hanging in there.

If its any consolation, i've been thinking about cigs LOADS over the last week, BUT its only thinking, not craving.

And, hey, i'd rather be thinking about them than smoking them!!!

And i know for sure, there is no way on earth i want to smoke, for one, it would taste awful, two, it would make me feel sick, three, i would be back to square one, four, it would take me another year or longer to get up the courage to quit again....need i go on.

I've come so far in what has been a relatively easy quit, so i'm quite happy to think about cigs all day long, cos i ain't gonna smoke one!!!

Being a regular on this site has really helped me this time around, not only do you get support, but reading posts by those who have just started, reminds you of how far you have come and how much you have achieved.

Its like a mini therapy centre.

Please post how you're feeling and let us help if we can, it would be such a shame if you went back to smoking when maybe we could've helped.

STAY STRONG!!:)

Thanks choco.

BIG HUGS for you Befly.

Have a cry if it will help. (I had a big cry yesterday, nothing to do with smoking, but it helped to get it out).

Maybe read over some of your old posts, it may help to remind you of those feelings in the early days, how proud you felt after 3 days, 1 week, and how hard it felt compared to now.

Maybe write down the reasons why you stopped, then try to write down the reasons you would want to smoke now - i can't imagine you will have many!! And if you do, then post them on here and we'll remind you why they're not good reasons!!

Talk it through with Mr Befly, he may not understand, but i've always found crying on a mans shoulders makes you feel a bit silly for crying in the first place and you soon come around - and a man hug ALWAYS makes you feel better!!!

I truly hope you perk up, please don't give in.

I'm off to bed now - Boudee where are you?? I'm sure Boudee had a tough time last month around month 3 and she's come through it. (I think reading Allan Carr books helped, partly).

STAY STRONG AND SENDING HUGE BIG MAN HUGS TO YOU (even though i'm a girl!!!:p)

:D

Thanks Choco,

I have taken your advice and read some of my old posts and do feel a bit more positive about things now.

Just needed to convince mysellf I was still doing the right thing I suppose even though your brain knows it its so bad for you there is still something telling you that you enjoy smoking.

Thanks for being there choco, I spoke to poppy yesterday and she will be back on Monday so that is good, she always cheers me up!

Catch ya soon,

Love Befly xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
