The wickedness of 3.

[nsd_user663_1655]

Is it just me... or are the relapse dates seeming like specific areas... 3 is an evil number... 3 days... 3 weeks... and 3 months seem to be big problem areas for people quitting. I've cleared two of those now... and definetly going to be reading lots here until the 3 month mark is well done and over with. I will be safe and happier at 6 months... super happy at a year... and 10 years... well, you all are invited to the party!

I started again after having stopped for 8 months so my "goal" or should I say my "target for celebrating" is Christmas this year

My "goal" is to stay stopped for life

In my case, it seems to be 6s and 7s rather than 3s.

Hour 7, days 6 and 7, and day 14 were probably my low points. I remember people going on about days 3 and 4, and they were a breeze in comparison.

That said, today has been VERY bad. I've spent a lot of time in and around small shops, all of which sell fags, and I was >SO< close to buying a pack several times.

I've discovered that playing the radio/music into my ears all the time while out of the house helps a lot, giving me something to think about other than a fag, especially whenever I smell a freeshly-lit one!

I smoked my last cigarette 2 Weeks, 2 Days, 12 hours and 5 minutes ago. I have £135.36 that I haven't spent on 577 cigarettes and saved 2 Days and 5 minutes of my life.
