Day 5 today and I've woken up and had my usual cuppa. The thoughts of smoking are quite strong today so I thought I'd come on here a make a new commitment not to smoke.

I don't understand how for a few days it can feel like a breeze and then all of a sudden it's back!

Anyway there it is, my new commitment for today. I WILL NOT SMOKE TODAY. Even if today is going to be a tough one, I will remind myself that tomorrow will probobly be alot easier.

Hope everyone's feeling strong and ready to fight their :eek:demons today. Mine feel like they're having a tantrum.

Hopeful

Well done for posting hopeful. Well done for choosing not to smoke today. By doing that the next time you face a crave it should be easier. I recall bumping along very merrily then playing a game of tomb raider and suddenly being completely side swiped by cravings. It went away. Remember, you are not gaining anything by smoking. xx

Yes its a choice, and each day we take control and choose not to smoke. The good news is that the more times we choose that the easier it becomes.

Stay strong.

Thankyou all so much. I've had a shower, put a colour in my hair, put a posh frock on, full make up and even wearing some bling. Look like I'm going somewhere special and in fact I'm just going to do the usual Sunday housework thing but it has made me feel so much better. I'm not going to sit around moping about it. I feel loads better, thankyou all from the bottom of my recovering lungs. You are all my angels and I don't know what I'd do without you all.

Hope you are all ok too
