Finally....

[nsd_user663_5119]

Hi everyone.

well after a week of what felt like groundhog day, going to sleep every night thinking tomorrow will be the day, then waking up, having a fag and promising myself that tomorrow will be the day, I have finally done it, albeit, a few days later than planned. Re-read parts of Allen Carr last night and it made me feel so positive that here we are...half way through Day One (again!)...only had one crave so far, and am already feeling slightly light-headed so know thats a good sign

Am trying not to look too far into the future, but my boyf didn't help this morning when he text me to say we've been invited to a party on Saturday night :confused: - mind is already panicing slightly, but hey I know I can do this..I am stronger than a little piece of paper folded round some dry leaves

Hey, I'm a non-smoker and so are you!!!

[nsd_user663_16474]

Well done on the decision to quit Embo!!

I think we've all been there with the 'I'll quit tomorrow, next week, whenever...' and the day never quite comes :o. My experience is that the thought of quitting is more difficult than the actual quitting. Once I start my quit, I find it not too bad in the main. Maybe that's just me :p.

Stay strong and you *can* do this!!

Hi Embo

I have picked up on your quote above and hi lighted it so that if you start to falter just come and read this again.

I am so pleased for you that you have decided to Stop Smoking again. That Nicodemon is not our friend as you know and we dont need him, i mean what has he ever done for us so if he comes a knocking tell him to sod off and slam the door!

Good luck hun, you can do this and we are all behind you. Remember this

One minute at a time

One hour at a time

One day at a time.....and that you can stay smoke free.

LOL

We are all rooting for you.

Go Embo

Thanks everyone. Your support means ALOT!

Just had a HUGE crave (only second of the day, which is surprising) and I found a ciggie in my bag.....have just put it in the bin though!! This crave lasted whay longer than 3 mins....kept my eye on the clock and it was at least 17 mins....a real panicky butterfly feeling in my stomach with the strong desire to smoke that last cig..but I didn't.....

[nsd_user663_17077]

That is great that you did not give in - congrats don't think I would have been able to do that in the first few days! Keep it up

[nsd_user663_14384]

Yeah!!!!

Well done you, just keep it up x.

[nsd_user663_16887]

wow now THAT's awesome!! I don't think I could have done that, throw this little found treasure out

That's why I told myself initially, its not that I can't smoke, its that I cant BUY cigarettes..... cause I knew there wouldn't be any other way to get me any. But for some reason the can't buy thing worked!

You have no idea how I turned the house upside down to find a stray LOL....

Well done hun, for deciding to quit. Those first few days craving are the worst, but they don't get any worse, my worst day was day 2. I wanted to scream, but you will get through it x

[nsd_user663_16530]

Dear Embo.

You will do it,at times it feels daunting but it is only condtioning you can go with the urges they can only last a min or two.

Beleive me I am the worst for giving in but I hav'nt ,just keep on drinking water,breathing I found eating tangerines the first few days helped

Because you had to peel them and eat each segment and whilst your doing that the crave has passed.

take care you can do it.
