Well done on your three weeks of not smoking.... I feel that's the hardest bit over and hanging in there now has to be worth it. Things should start to balance out for you and your quit become more comfortable and 'yours' :)

Enjoy the knitting...... any idea what your going to tackle after all this time?

I should pick it back up..... in fact I should pick up the half jumper front I started around this time last year:o

Let us know how the not smoking continues for you

Hi Jamangie :)

Well done on 3 weeks smoke free you'll of course get some bad days wanting to eat is normal but it passes but you've done well to loose the extra weight so quickly

Knitting will certainly keep your hands busy just hang in there it will just keep getting easier

Below is my standard welcome and advice post which I try and give all new members

Welcome to the forum and well done on the decision to quit possibly one of the most important you will ever make and you will be losing nothing but you will regain control of your life and that has to be good

You will find all the help and support you need on here as we all help each other just like a family we are here for you every step of the way cheering the good days and sympathising with the bad but the good far outweigh the bad

Read the posts on here you will find a lot of tips and advice and in the signatures of a lot you will find links to other sites just click on them Here are 2 I find very good to start you off whyquit.com and woofmang.com Read, read and then read some more as the more you read and learn about why you smoked and about your addiction the easier your quit will be

This link is good for the psychological part of quittingwhyquit.com/whyquit/A_Sympt...

Post often to let us know how you're doing, to rant, rave have a moan whatever you like pretty much anything goes on here

Love

Marg xx

Hi Again

Hi all thanks for looking at my post I think i am so lucky to be able to do this CT and know i want give in I think it has to come from within else we blame whoever made!!!!!!!! us stop and go back again health is my reason as I feel its now or never

Not easy but didnt prepare and think that when you set a date its to much trauma as it gets nearer I would have talked myself out of it but xmas morning I lit a cig at 9am and then decided to put it out and not smoke for xmas day and each day for the first week I just said to my self that I will not smoke today but I can tommorrow if I want to and 3 weeks later I am not smoking also read loads of really scary stuff about smoking and that helped for first week like on 60th of a gram of nicotine will kill you that blew my mind LOL

Does anybody quit CT with zero withdrewal????

My ode to smoke

I’m really glad that now I’ve quit

Cause in the past I’ve smoked some sh**

Smelly Hair Hands and Breath

Shorter Life but longer Death

Up the hills you’ve got no puff

Smokers cough that makes you rough

So pass each day without the weed

Cause only then will you succeed

So Bravo to all that now don’t smoke

Cause early Death is sure no Joke

Thanks

Hi thanks Lilly may I call you that or would you prefer flower Lol

Yes thats a good description accidental quitter will call my new book that if you dont mind?? the one like alan Carr wrote and made a million and of course will pay you a bit when its published LOL

Its brilliant to have a site that guides you down the right path to stopping i only found it by chance and took ages to get logged on an posting but I am always the last to know LOL

How are you doing my first week was the worst I actually decided that I would keep my hands busy by writing and so that is what I have done it was ok till I set my ball point on fire and melted allover the new jumper I had brought myself as a treat for stopping Oh well they always said i was daft now I know I am LOL
