Taking that first step

[nsd_user663_3223]

Hi All

Well i was going to quit on Saturday but i decided to quit today as i can't see the point in buying cigs until then. i tried this a couple of weeks ago and got to day 3 and cracked completely. probably because my other half was quitting at the same time and we were both cranky. wish me luck

Thank you, my partner is supportive but he is on day 8 now so he is feeling quite smug

Well done Michelle! You can do this - no luck required

If OH gets too "smug" - get him to log on here and we will sort him out for you

Hi Chelle - keep yourself busy this afternoon it will help. Drink water every time you feel that tug. Rant and rave all you like on here - it helps and someone will be here to listen. Or go have a bath and scream and shout there. I've done that and sworn in the car when I felt I wanted a cig, something on the lines "I don't want an effin fag" several times. The feeling does wear off quite quickly. You managed to go without having a cig break so think of reasons why you want to be smoke free.

I hope this helps and I probably haven't gone through the whole scenario of what you can do. Anyway keep your chin up and good luck with your quit.

PS - You know the saying he who smugs first smugs last (I know it's not the real saying but you have to have a laugh don't you. Hehehe:D:D)

Jan,

Now I now I'm risking being told to get a life :eek: buttt.......

Didn't you mean

"He you smugs last smugs longest." ?

Or is that "Smegs"..or "Smags"...or "Smoogs" ..or " Smacks"...or "eats pie"...could be anything really!

Anyway, Michelle...all the best with the quit. 'Tis true it helps to get informed, it really does. There's a programme on an american site .."Woolfmag" or some such...(you'll find it on Antifags monicker I think) which makes you really identify the triggers and develop strategies to cope. You might think it's a bit sad to go to all those lengths, but better too much prep than too little...and the goal is SOOOOO WORTH IT!!!!

Hi Bill - yes I did mean that. Knew I'd got it wrong after I'd sent it but couldn't put my finger on it. Cheers. You were risking it but you're not going to get told it this time:rolleyes:
