Triple figures today!

Well today is day 100. I am going to stop counting now because I told myself I would after I got to 100 days.

I think I've really turned a corner now. I certainly don't crave anymore, I don't get the 'missing something' feeling, and smoking thoughts are very few and far between.

It does get easier.

Hey congrats, Trandem

It's such a great milestone to get to especially as you have turned that corner.

Don't trip up on any uneven parts of the path in going up to the Penthouse. John's inventing cocktails to mark your arrival

Trandem, that's brilliant, congratulations!

I have become mildly obsessed with counting days. I think I may have to plan to stop after 100 or it'll get silly. So only... *quick mental calculation*... 47 days of counting to go then!

Really, a wonderful achievement. Hope you're proud, you should be.

PS - Nice footline. I love how my random 'forum ferrets' comment has been taken up into popular usage now!

100 days - thats great Trandem at what point did it get easy?

[nsd_user663_17920]

Thank you all!

Sparky, To be honest, apart from a bad week very early on, this quit (by no means my first) has been fairly plain sailing.

I think the difference is that this time I have got it really clear in my head that there are absolutely no benefits to smoking whatsoever.

I have also told myself that if I get really desperate for a cigarette, to just have one and not torture myself. I haven't got to that absolutely desperate stage and I think the fact that I have psychologically allowed myself a back door has helped. It may not work for everyone, but it has for me.

I have also reminded myself of how bad my first cigarette will taste, should I have one now, so the thought if smoking actually makes me feel sick.

And, I've reprogrammed my brain to recognise what were craves as something else (hunger, stress, tiredness, emotions etc).

My little mantra now should I think about smoking is 'I don't smoke, why would I want to start?'

Hang on in there. There further you go, the mire you understand how the addiction once held you and the easier it is to let go of it.
