plodding on

Hi All,

Not sure what's going on but have constant desire to smoke. Life is quite stressful but on the whole nice stressful - selling up and moving on - so this may be the problem - trying to make life changing decisions without my 'old friend' - I find hard. Still need to find a substitute that will give me that trigger to relax.

Smoking has been part of my life for 40 years and hard to let go - don't feel horrified by smoking just don't do it anymore but boy do I miss it.

I know in the longer term it will be better - so hanging in - sorry no great wonderful transformation story as yet!

Hi Trish

A lot of people have got a bit like that around 3 months, it's odd but it deifnitely gets better - and of course moving is stressful so that's bound to be a bit of a trigger.

Well done for sticking with it

Know exactly how you feel, I always feel like something is missing, but I don't exactly crave but do feel a little lost sometimes. Not going to give in though as I am sure this will pass in time. Just hang on in there

I can relate to what you say Trishh, I miss smoking but then after so long, we're going to aren't we? Main thing is staying strong in your quit and you're doing that so good on you

You Are Doing iT Smoking Takes But Gives 0

Hey Trish analyse a bit more its skin deep at best smoking was never really a

friend just something you did that damaged your health and wealth.

Moving on you no longer feel the need to purposely damage your health and wealth.

I feel the desire to smoke also at times but know it may give me a temporary high for the potential long term ill health effects.

Couple of things that keep me strong

when we go to bed , do we smoke as we sleep : answer no we dont need to smoke

when we travel say 10hr flight do we manage : answer yes so why smoke
