Hi There!

I'm only on week 3 - but, just came across your post.

My question to you is. What would a cigarette really do to help you out right now? NOTHING is the answer.... you will feel even worse if you light up... you will then most likely feel like you are spiraling faster down a spiral... when you actually aren’t heading downwards at all. You can keep your head held high and not give in to the cravings and feel better about yourself and your life knowing that you are not going to give in to your vulnerability.

Someone here has a signature under his or her name that says this:

I prefer the pain of change rather than the pain of regret. Keep this in mind because if you light up now… you will certainly regret it!

Stay strong and like everything else… this will pass….

I will send you lots of positive energy.

You are being tested. When i quit i had the mosgt awful time and it still amazes me how i didn't spark up, my mind was telling me to smoke but i said NO. 10 weeks is too good to throw away....:eek:

I'm sorry to hear your dog got hurt, i love animals but this is not an excuse to smoke, lifes challenges are gonna happen all the time, you just got to forget smoking, you'll be so glad you did when you reach 70.

I want to enjoy old age, ok i'm gonna look rough i expect and i'm not gonna attract handsome men anymore so i'd at least like the pleasure of being able to breath without fear or frustration that i have to wear a ventilator.

Stay strong - you CAN do it, you owe it to yourself. xx

Hope you are feeling a bit stronger now. My dog got run over a little while ago and it was awful, but thankfully she is fine and hopefully will never fancy a trip under a Landrover again :eek:

All good advice above, smoking will not help the situation, however if you did have a smoke, it was only a blip and you can go on with your quit having learned your lesson.

Let us know how you are getting on.

Sending you loads of PMA and a great big hug.

Really sorry about your dog, but to echo all the previous advice, a cigarette isn't going to help your dog one little bit and it will make you feel really sh*t afterwards. Keep your money to pay for vets fees, stop thinking that smoking will change anything because it really won't, it won't even make you feel better. In a few days time, you'll look back and be really thankful you took all of our advice and you'll be a stronger person for it.

Big thanks all the temptation is huge but what with reading through the forum and the odd rant im hopin it will pass your all a bigger help than you could imagine.

[nsd_user663_4786]

Great to see you hanging in there. Reading the posts and the links will really help.

One day at a time and you will reach the Penthouse.

Well done.

Massive applause for resisting. This is a kind of trigger and they will come along and hit you when you least expect them. The fact that you faced it and didn't smoke will stand you in good stead in the future so very well done you.

Sorry to hijack your post sort of,but know exactly how you are feeling at the moment.I had a rotton night last night,my mum has been taken really poorly and rushed into hospital and i could have, and probably would have had a ciggie given the opportunity.I would still kill for one, but the thought that that is probably the reason that mom is so ill,(she was a heavy smoker for 50+ years) is stopping me.Also what hasn't helped is my bliddy oh is a smoker and normally hides his fags from me so i dont't get tempted.When i got up this morning there they were sitting on the table grinning at me and whispering "go on,just have 1,he will never notice" i could have wept.But i thought to myself if i still want one in 10mins i will have one,sod it,and thats what i kept saying until the craving went away.

So if i can do it you can,stay strong hun and i hope your lovely Doggie makes a full and speedy recovery.Just think of all the money you will have saved on fags and can now spend on best steak to spoil him when he is better.

Take care
