[nsd_user663_56712]

well done to the both of you!!! It was worth the battle a couple of weeks ago wasn't it! Huge pat on the back for you both :D

[nsd_user663_57088]

Yeah us!

Thanx for the positive comments.

[nsd_user663_56673]

LI and Mario. Massive well done, great to see you're both doing so well. :D

[nsd_user663_57123]

Thanks everyone. I have say, it is not nearly such a great feeling as the first time. I got to the end of month one and caved. Once again I am struggling.

Mario, if I fail, I am sorry. I just am not as strong as you. Well done to you. I still am in awe of you and a little bit jealous. Sorry, but I am losing the positivity, the will to fight, the urge to fight. Little by little.

[nsd_user663_57259]

Don't do it!!!!! You can get through it and you will feel so proud when you do!

Be strong!

Awwww, where's that positive attitude gone hun?

Come on, you can so do this!

If you give in now you'll be right back to the beginning and you'll only disappoint yourself. Just because it didn't quite work out last time, it doesn't mean that you're doomed to repeat the same again.

What changes can you make this time? Is there a pattern you're recognising to the last time, something we can turn around and use to your advantage?

Please hang in there, or it will be even harder when you do it again in the future.

*Sending big hugs an positive vibes your way*

LI I am sorry but that is not a good attitude!!!!:rolleyes:

'Losing the fight little by little'? If Mario will do it for you,then you do it for Mario too.You are as strong as he is!

We are all here to support you 100%.Going back to filthy stinking cancer sticks is NOT ON.:mad:

MOVE ON now LI you can beat this,dig in and consolidate to where you have reached,you are at a wonderful place to make a permanent quit!!:cool:

Well said Max.

There must be something, anything you can do, just to prolong this quit for one more day. Just tell yourself "I can push through one more day without fags, I can last it out" and then you can deal with tomorrow when it gets here! xxx

Sorry guys, i have just not been in a very nice place these past few days. This inactivity is getting to me. Doing little bit more for myself everyday. Putting up masks for everyone (now I will be in the dogbox for saying that).

On a good note, went into the shop by myself with the thought that I could sneak a packet of smokes without anyone knowing. I thought sharing my thought with hubby would a good idea, bacause then he would know what I was planning, and that would stop me from sneaking it in. It did help me, to tell him that, but the conversation did not come out as I planned it in my mind. Well, I did not buy those smokes. In the end it is all that matters.

[nsd_user663_57259]

Well done LI! Tomorrow will be a better day. I'm also really struggling today but know that I cannot cave as my hubby is doing so well with this quit and I really don't want to spoil it for him!

Well done for not caving hun. That's another day almost over and in the bag. You should be really happy with yourself And, you're right, it can really help telling someone else. That's what I did on the couple of occasions I got very close and it helped me to stop and think about what I was planning to do.

Please believe me when I tell you that I know where you're at right now. After week three I was determined to go back to smoking. I was just waiting for the day when I would decide to spark one up and get back to "the old me". Every day was so hard to get through as a non-smoker and I literally had to tell myself that I could have one later. Always later. I was so consumed by smoking and failure! But it passed and I feel amazing now! I really do. Please believe that the hard part goes away and is replaced with pride and confidence in yourself. It gets easier and being a non-smoker becomes a choice we make, rather than a form of punishment.

You're doing so well, you really are!

It is so good to know that there are other people the who understand what I am going through. Today I got a ' it has been actually 2 months of no smoking (this person is not counting the one day I failed). The nicotine has left your body. It is all in your head. Let go of the grip. Stop moaning and complaining.' comment.

I honestly wish I could just do that. It is no fun feeling like this. The constant battle, the 'tasting' first thing in the morning. Some days I have no craving at all, then the next it hits me full on. With your mouth actually watering for one. Thinking by yourself, just one, just to get over the worst, its not like you will start all over again. Luckily common sense kicks in before it is too late.

Thanks for being there, for listening and understanding. Most people don't.

LI we are all in this together and we all understand how you feel!

[nsd_user663_56712]

HI LI, I still get that tasting/mouth water thing so really know where you are coming from, it is hard and it takes guts , determination and sometimes bl00dy stubbornness to get through it. but we all know that it is worth it or we wouldn't have got through the first 3 days/weeks. yes the nicotine has left your body but you/we will always be an addict and that is where the difficulty lies.

keep strong and think of the reasons for your quit and also how gutted you were a month ago.

Come on, you and I shared the same quit date and despite that one day, I think we still do xxx

That is exactly what we're here for hun.

Some days can be really tough, you're right. And I also remember feeling secure and happy, then BAM I was hit by a totally unexpected craving. It really is horrible and it has you doubting your sanity at times.

Just hang in there and you'll feel so great for it hun! x
