I made it to a week - well in half an hour I will have done :D

I have been quit for 6 Days, 23 hours, 26 minutes and 51 seconds (6 days). I have saved £48.90 by not smoking 139 cigarettes. I have saved 11 hours and 35 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 15/05/2011 21:43

Can't believe I'm about to go into the second week :D

Well Karri, believe it because you are :D well done to you for getting that first week under your belt and by the time you go to bed you will be into your second week ;)

You just keep strong, keep slapping that patch on and before you know it week 3 will be just a sniff away :p

I rewarded myself with the money saved. Go get something you really want. And it will be a tangible reminder of what you have achieved.

I always look back to see how far I have come in order to get that sense of personnal achievement. It's awesome at the end of each day to think YES!!! I DID IT!!! Lets add one more day to that total!!

I cannot think about the future or I know I'd fold. This is for life. ( In more ways than one!!!) One step at a time hun or the task can overwhelm.

I am however planning on what to spend the next £100 on. I ve seen a handbag.......... Silly priced one, but....... I WANT IT!!! I will get it very very soon.

And above all have lost that annoying tickly cough.

Good for you teacup, hope you get that bag really soon :D We have to deny ourselves many things when we smoke as obviosuly we cannot afford them. Looking at a handbag with a price tag of £100 or more would be unthinkable in the smoking world (well in any world unless you are reasonably well off) but when we have saved that money with a lot of hard work and determination.................well, why the hell not lol. Treating ourselves for all that grit and determination can only be a good thing if that is what we feel right for us.

Enjoy :D

Lol, hope it goes well and you have a lovely time. Just think, you will smell of perfume and only perfume for your date. Not perfume covering nasty fags smells which usually means you have out to much on so said date is choking to death lol xx

Same as stopping smoking -you need a date strategy. If you think you will fail -you will fail. If you think you will bore him -you will bore him!!

So Think of non boring things to talk about.

DON'T MENTION SMOKING!!!

Just be YOU Karri, just be YOU, if he doesn't like it he ain't the right one. If you are proud of your quit (and you should be) mention it if you feel it is right to do so. Hey, if we had achieved anything else in life we would mention it so why not that :D

Good morning Karri,

I just wanted to congratulate you on your first full week well done you, before you know it that week will be a month then another. Def treat yourself with the money you save as i do feel in the early days its nice to see something that you have bought to help reinforce your quit. I bought a new handbag in my early days, well after i had stopped buying needles and wool when i used that to keep me busy, it worked. I dont treat myself now but make sure you do, ok!

Anyhow good luck :)
