Day 6

[nsd_user663_deleted]

Hi all, well now on day 6 and believe it or not still ok.

I still have to get my head round to thinking hopefully I will not smoke again.

I have smoked for so many years it was part of me who I was.

Now I have to think different about myself and let go of the crutch that cigs where to me, it is that I am finding hard to deal with.

Love Joan

You Can Do It. Just Do A Day At A Time. I Smoked For 36 Years And 10 Years Ago Tryed To Quit And Failed After 6 Weeks. Ive Been Scared To Try Again All Those Years. These Days Theres So Much Help. Im On Patches And Only Almost At Week 4. But This Time I Just Know Im Not Ready To Give In, The Patches Arnt Perfect But They Are An Enormous Help. This Forum Has Been A Godsend, Nomater What Your Going Through Someone Else Has Been There And Are Urging You On. Im Realy Confidant This Time. Just Bieing Able To Take Gran Kids To Nursery And School And Stay And Read The Children A Story, Chat To Teachers And Take Part In Scool Events, I Can Trevel Any Length Of Time. Shop Go Anywhere Without The Worry Of When Will I Be Able To Have A Nic Fix. No Way Am I Going Back To Being A Lepper. Good Luck X

Hi Joan, I know where you're coming from, we're the same age though I have to catch up on the grandchild front! I relish now being able to walk past the cold-handed, blue-nosed types who are standing shivering outside the pub while I stride inside for a pleasant pint in the warm!

It's worth it and you've come a long way already; Day 6!!!! .. every day is a new milestone so keep focussed on the next and before you know it, you'll be ... well, I don't really know where you'll be but it'll be a long way from here!:D

Well done Joan so glad your keeping on x x x x

It is hard but it gets easier each time and although the thoughts may always be there like an absent friend, they will turn into less and less relavent thoughts.

Before you know it you will feel happy at the thoughts of smoking, as you are no longer bound by them.

Stay strong x x

You and me both Joan. Hang in there - day 6! By the end of tomorrow, it'll be a whole week! Unbelieveable for me and very heavy going at times, but try and plod on!
