Apparently day 4 is a bit of a downer so maybe thats why you feel like you do.

You have a wonderful reason to keep going and all the long term quitters will tell you it does get better.

You will turn a corner and be glad you stuck it out. I'm a failed quitter still trying to get where you are now. If it wasn't worth it I'd have stopped trying a long time ago

Thank you karri its nice to know im not just speaking to thin air lol x

Everyone has different reasons for giving up and even if you're not mentally convinced that you want to give up, I would suggest at least writing down a list of all the benefits as you see them.

Money, smell on you, your clothes, your house, lighters/matches around the house kids can get hold of, time wasted queuing for smokes, but most of all it has to be the health of you and those around you.

Good luck, I wish you well

Take it from me - No -one notices when you don't light up!!

However - Everyone notices when you do!!!

I have a little game going on -it's very silly one!!. I have not told anyone that I quit. Am now on Day 31!! When will they notice.

No-one has made any comment at all!!! Not even my hubby. And he hated me smoking!!! NAG NAG NAG every day!!!! So believe me - people care - they just don't notice the lack of cigarette smoke - only the prescence of it!!!!

I quit for me -my girls and my wallet!! And am proud to be on day 31 -even if no-one has noticed !!!!!

Thats what i mean teacup a lil o your doing really well from friends would be nice. yer i know smoking is a common thing nowadays but come on it dont take much ! lol p.s well done big hugs :D:D

Honest!!! No-one has said a thing!!!

Could be he feels it is better left unsaid!! Just let me get on with it. Or maybe hubby really hasn't noticed!!

As I said, as soon as, in past, he had a whiff of smoke ( FROM THE GARDEN I MAY ADD!!!) he went off on one!! Now there is no "aromatic" trigger for him - it is a case of "out of sight - out of mind". (Or is it out of whiffy range out of mind!!!! ) Whatever it is - he's not noticed!!

But going back to original post - YES HE CARES!!!!! Just doesn't show it!!

[nsd_user663_26590]

It all goes back to reasons why we quit!! We do it for ourselves mainly!! For our own personal agenda.

Same as hairdresssers or new out fits etc. I do it for me!! Not to impress anyone - Just for me -so that I like what I see in the mirror.

I did not like the smokey old Jo that hid behind trees for a crafty ciggy as freinds/family would moan at me if they saw!! I would then eat zillions of mints to hide the smell etc.

I want to be free of that life. And for 31 days I have been. It's great. So....

DAY 4 may feel like sh ite!!! But perservere!!! Day 4 then becomes Day 5 & before you know it DAY 31 -!!!!!

How true those statements are !

I have a wife who is very aware that I gave up (7 days ago) but hasn't said a thing, I think mainly because she thinks any mention of it might bring on a craving that could lead to me cracking.

I have no problem with this, I don't need pats on the back or encouragement, but in the unlikely event that I do fall off I need someone to give me a real roasting, and she's quite good at them....
