Sat down and thought long and hard and I think it is time to say goodbye to what I though was an "OLD" friend!
It has come to light that it has never been my friend BUT my enemy it has dragged me down and kept me prisoner!!
I have decided I am tired of being held ransom to my addiction:
Having to plan outings with the family where I can smoke
Not being able to enjoy meals or a movie without having to "pop" out for a smoke
"Boosting" my nicotine levels in the smoking lounge before boarding a flight
Smoking rite before bed
Waking up in the middle of the night and going for a smoke
Smoking first thing in the morning before coffee or brushing my teeth
Being out of breath when I walk
Smelling like an ashtray
Yellow teath
Driving to the Garage to get smoke at the crack off dawn
Soooo here goes as of 6:00 pm this evening I am officialy a NON smoker wish me well on my journey and hopefully with your help I can lick the "Nasty" habbit!

Hello AprilAddict, welcome and congratualations, by now you will have got past the first '3' the 3 hour point!
Do come and use the forum lots, without it I would not have found this quit so easy and believe me there have been many many previous failures! Come and question, rant, share, there is always someone that will help you or guide you back to the right journey.
Frozen grapes are great they are like a sorbet- just remember to get seedless ones!
I shall look forward to reading more from you. Trea x
Remember nicotine is not your friend; friends dont harm you
I was dreading this morning, but to my surprise I woke up had a cup of cofee jumped in the shower and thren brushed my teeth ALL without having a smoke!!!
This is a huge thing for me cause by now I would have nipped off to the garage to by smokes!! BUT my OH is still smoking and I have walked past her pack a few times,
I am carving but not to the extrent that I will smoke yet I think I realise if I have one now that will be it, It has taken me 20 odd years to get to this place mentaly,
one smoke now and I will never try quit again im the kind of person.
so lets see how I am doing at 6:00 pm this evening (24hr mark)
