Today is my first day of not smoking. So far I think I'm ok. My job includes a bit of travelling and today Im out in the car. I'd usually be smoking between appointments but instead I'm using my inhalator ( also have a patch on).
I feel quite determined at the moment as my husband and I want to start a family soon so I'm using that as my main motivation. Also a few of us at work have quit together so I'm using my competitive streak too. My worry is if they and my husband start smoking again I will start too.
Hopefully not.

Heyhey- it is my first day today as well!! It sounds like u have an awesome attitude which is always good!! I'm having a difficult day (trying to buy a car and loads of work to do) but trying to stay motivated!! it sounds as tho u are- and also that u are prepared with your patch etc. keep on goingm keep positive and hang in there! its nice to know that someone else is starting a new day today with the same thing in mind We can do it right?
We can do it! Loads of people do and are successful! I've got a friend who quit over a year ago and she used to smoke over 20 a day, I keep telling myself if she can do it so can I!
I think I talk (or write) a good talk... Probably more so than I feel deep down inside...
Don't think there is ever a good day to quit, they'll always be something that will make you want to smoke, i think you just have to keep thinking that non smokers get through similar situations with out a cig!
It will be tough but I'm sure we can do it. Are you using any patches or anything?
hey, ur message made me smile it's real nice to hear how motivated you are!! Its never going to be an ideal day to quit- too true!! I am not using any patches or nething- I was thinking about getting some of those lozenger things for emergency times (i know the evenings are going to be the worst!). Used patches before- they were really good, gum helps, its all to make it easier and I get that- but I just want to be free, I really do.
