Day 5 For Me...............

[nsd_user663_2783]

Well - here I am at Day 5. I must admit it has not been as hard as I thought it would be. Thursday and Friday nights were the worst and they weren't really that bad if you know what I mean. I don't know whether that is the Champix working or whether I have been there before and know what to expect.

Anyways, I wouldn't say I was sailing through this but I am cruising and looking forward to a quit free life.

There has been one question that keeps coming to my mind and that is if I was told I was terminally ill would I start again. I don't know why I keep having this thought and wonder if anyone else has (I know it is somewhat morbid but can't help thinking it):(. The answer I always come up with is I don't know. If you look at it from a non-smoker's perspective probably not but if you look at it from an ex-smoker's perspective do you say what the hell and light one up!!!! Anyone else got views on this?

I know it is a weird question but it does keep popping into my head now and again.

First of all, well done on getting through to day 5 - baby steps

Secondly, thats a bizarre question.

Hmmmm. I think "no". Knowing how much better I feel for not smoking, I don't think I would want to live out my remaining days in a fog of ciggy smoke, smelling badly.

But I will admit that it would be tempting.

Well done for reaching day 5!

In answer to your question, I would say "NO" if I feel as good as I do today!!

You are not the only one to have that thought!

I too had that thought in the early point of the quit, at the time it would have been yes.

Now I don't think so, I don't really feel I've sacrificed anything by quitting.

I don't follow the idea that there is absolutely no pleasure in smoking but what there is, is very little and not worth worrying about. There are plenty of other things that are far more pleasurable which I choose not to do for good reasons.

Cheers

Nic

Hi John - I would like to say thanks for the above. It has changed my way of thinking and I will continue to stop until my dying day if it means I can pass on to my son and grandchildren the knowledge of what harm lighting up a cig can do.

My pleasure Jan.

Both of those pages really stuck with me, particularly the one about the woman with Cancer and the "two bitches".......

Oh I'm glad you said that. I thought it was so sad and yet at the same time she was a very strong woman trying to get her message across to everyone but especially her son. I might add and me too.
