Day one tips

[nsd_user663_10532]

Ok, so as my quit date rapidly approaches, I was wondering what your best tip was. I know about the cold water, lollipops and deep breathing but would like to hear more, especially weird ones:cool:

[nsd_user663_41857]

I was walking my dogs to the point of exhaustion lol I found walks in the fresh air really helped and increased the 'happy hormones' lol

Frozen grapes?? And I made a carrot, cheese and bacon sponge cake, now that IS weird :eek: tasted nice though and you can eat it for breakfast

Eeewwwwww Zoe, that cake sounds minging but who knows, I may give it a go:eek:. Will do the walks as I like walking anyway, never tried frozen grapes but what the heck, if I can put all this garbage in my lungs I'm sure I can try them, thanks everyone x

Lol I suppose the cake is a bit like a savoury muffin, so it might be nice!

This one sounds a bit weird - - get yourself a bad cold/cough, winter vomiting bug, or anything that makes you feel poorly and then stay in bed! Make sure though that there is someone around to look after you! You'll be feeling so crap the withdrawal symptons don't get a look in - and by the time you're feeling better, the cravings are all psychological...

It worked for me...:rolleyes:

A more healthy alternative is to eat loads of bananas - really good for the stabilising the mood swings and helps keep depression away.

Good luck!

I think the best thing I did was too remove the desire to smoke - i got my brain thinking about smoking for what it really is....a completely pointless, money wasting habit!

Ive had no urge to smoke what so ever cause I can see it for what it is, Ive suffered withdrawal and mood swings but havent struggled with cravings at all.

Cheers Austin,

I wasnt even sure that would make sense to anyone else lol! In previous quits Ive convinced myself im giving something up and felt deprived that I wasnt getting to smoke.

This time I have no desire to smoke whatsoever, and it makes a massive difference.

[nsd_user663_10532]

Ha ha maybe a bit extreme Fellie, but good tips from everyone. I shall try them all but not at once:eek:

I'm stopping by Allen Carr....a change of mindset is part of the course. His ideas should be built upon though but it's elementary my dear Watson

Amazing Post Penthouseroof!!

I'm abit of a stats guru- what's the source for your %s with regard to timeframes and the % of people staying quit?

[nsd_user663_10532]

Wow penthouse roof, thats a heck of a lot of info but with one clear message, thank you and to everyone else who has answered, greatly appreciated

[austinlegro 11 Years Smoke Free]

Thanks PR.

There's no better way to set yourself up for the day than tears of mirth.

If I giggle in front of Clients I'm blaming you.

have nothing to do with what you should ask yourself and tell youself on day one.

"Today i start a journey. There is no turning back. I will never, ever smoke another cigarette. I don't care what happens. It will not make me smoke.

I will never stop this quit. I have been told it will get better. I will wait but i will never smoke again....ever. This is my final quit

@ P. R.......I dont know why but i cant seem to say that i will never smoke again ever. it just wont leave my mouth the words get stuvk in my throat some where. Have i built a get out clause into my quit i wonder, well maybe or maybe its just not the right thing to say. it sounds a bit like what a victorian hypnotist would say to someone after hes put them under[i deliberatly say he not she] it sounds and feels pedantic and rather hollow. i can manage today and that is as far as i can go. i know from experience tomorrow will do its own thing .food for thought though.
