Going cold turkey....

[nsd_user663_29745]

Have decided to go cold turkey... Had my last cigarette at lunch time today...

I have about 36 cigarettes in the garage(where I smoke)...

This is going to be so hard esp as after work i go to the garage and have a smoke...

I keep making up excuses as why I am not stopping and tomorrow never appears soes it?!?

I'll keep updating here x

My advice would be to bin the 36 you have in the garage otherwise the temptation will always be there.

Good luck

Thanks horse, its scary how addicted to these things we are!.. just being on here makes me want one :rolleyes:

best of luck...instead of smoking after work use that "smoke time" logging on to the forum and reading..and getting rid of those cigs as horse said is a good idea as well

I agree with Horse Magda, get rid of them! Unless you are one of these people who find it helps to keep a ciggie or two around as some people find it helps them to stay on their quit. I would undoubtedly give in and smoke them myself.

I always went outside to smoke so I actually found it helped in my quit. It is more difficult I think if you smoke indoors as you would then miss it with every activity it went with. At least if you smoked in the garage that limits that association. You are BARRED from the garage ok

I know all to well 'the tomorrow never comes' scenario but when it does it is seldom as bad as you think it will be. You then have the added incentive of having made THAT FIRST HUGE STEP

Good luck Magda. I am at the end of day 1 and have found that keeping busy really helps. Stay strong and determined and keep us updated.
