After all this time if you have just one you will be on the slippery slope the nickodemon wants you back he wants to kill you.

Hang in there Woo. They do pass and, when that happens, you will feel all the more proud of yourself.

Do whatever you need to, just don't smoke!!

They come by the 20, Woo - there's no such thing as "just one" and as you've worked so hard it would be such a shame to waste your hard work!!

Have a read of Allen Carr if you haven't already - that should help!!

Am very sad to say that these last two days have been a nightmare, am craving really badly and have no idea why, it's nearly 7 months now and I actually dreamed about smoking last night, ah it's so annoying :(:mad:

No Surrender

Be positive do you really want to go back and be chained to a habit that does nothing for you and has the potential, to damage your health beyond repair.

You may think it would be great to have just the occasional cig, don't be fooled its mind games there is only one way to succeed and it utilize the NOPE philosophy. One leads to another as any long term smoker will tell you its a very slippery slope.

Totally agree with you Graham, I smoked for 40 years and I know that "just the one" is not an option for me, am just annoyed that it's reared it's ugly head once again to try and reel me back in!

I know the feeling, sadly.

It's annoying and makes you feel rubbish - but not as rubbish as smoking would!!

Have had some bad times with it too lately, am keeping off them because I know that it's only one smoke between me and 20+ a day again *and* after this quit I wouldn't stop again - so it's not 20 fags I'd be buying it's a lifetime's worth, if that makes sense?

[nsd_user663_51711]

I'm coming up to a year in a few days and with the Champix found it not too bad really. But this last week it's been not exactly one long crave, but I have felt that could do with one. Maybe it's because it's on my mind that I've nearly done the year it's come to the front of my mind or sommat.

I've also just been tidying up the airing cupboard ( the tsunami of plastic bags every time I opened the door was even getting on my nerves) and I found the cigs I had started the day I stopped. Still 16 in the box. My neighbour stopped 18 years ago, and still has her remainders (12) in a drawer!

I had a lot of craves just before I hit the year mark. Seemingly this is normal. See you in the penthouse.

It's so flippin annoying Gemma, but the good news is mine has passed over again today

The only thing I can think of that set it off is, i saw a friend who smokes the other day, I haven't seen her since I quit, but she asked me how long I had been off the cigs and was really happy for me, full of praise, but it set me off thinking, oh we used to put the world to rights over a drink and a smoke, then the dreams started!!! :eek:

Onwards and upwards till the next time

Down in dumps

Angela,

I feel for you and too feel the same...91 days for me now.....

Still don't think I can face having a drink socially yet.

So much in my life as a smoker has changed and at the moment - feel like I've lost a friend...feel like I am mourning...stupid crazy habit but it was a life times habit

sorry to be negative. I will feel better tomorrow.

[nsd_user663_56386]

Smoking was never a friend unless you think of a friend as someone that may kill you, damage your health beyond repair or generally downgrade you quality of life. Its easy to romanticise those moments with mr cancer however if you think, on its a dream rather than reality. Mr cancer wants you to believe its a stress buster a pleasurable pastime, a sociable pursuit, in reality its a killer , disgusting, unsociable waste of life.

I still use gum 4 months after quitting the smoking habit, maybe 4 bits of Nicorette a day Its funny how you tend to forget some of the negative things attached to the smoking habit , lack of breath, hacking cough, regular colds and chest infections, drain on resources, the real danger of damaging your health beyond repair, the smell of stale tobacco.

I was in the supermarket today a lady in front of me was buying tobacco, approx £65 for 5 packs of 20 and 2 packs of rolling tobacco, imagine this is for 1 week £260 a month , what a absolute waste of money.

Having stopped for 4 months i still feel the occasional want for tobacco, however, Im still training my brain to believe contentment in this life will never be obtained by smoking a smelly , unhealthy , unsociable rod of disease. Ive stopped before for a long period and slipped, maybe 10 years ago think on, a wee slip is rarely days or months,

I intend to go the distance this time. Nope Nope Nope going forward for me
