6 Months Today!!!

Today marks 6 months that I quit smoking. It feels like yesterday. I have been so stressed out lately. This week has been a total mess with me. My bank account was hacked and all my money was stolen out of my account. I begged the bank to give me $50.00 as I needed money to live on. They agreed to give me the $50.00 since they knew what was going on. I was a little relieved because I would at least have a little bit of cash on me.

Well, that did not last long as I lost the $50.00 dollars they gave me tonight. I think it fell out of my pocket. :mad: I am so stressed out that I wanted to smoke a cigarette, but I didn't. It has been a week from hell.

Other than the messed up week I have had, I made it to 6 months and I could not be anymore happier with myself.

I hope everyone is having a great day so far...... :):):):):):):):):)

Let me Clarify

You join the room that the month starts in. So I just ended my 5th month like you just ended your 5th month. That means we just started our 6 months. See how it works?

Hope that helps, Woo!!!

Kyle

P.S. : This is how I was told it worked anyways... :):p

Kyle,

Firstly don't know how I missed this...so sorry but my quit is well like this...

1) Being as this quit was forced upon me and that I started it half heartedly I am doing amazing !

2) something in my head is not quite right as my moods are so up and down. But I get through it most days

3) my weight is a problem now although I go gym 3 times a week and started running (half way through training 5k) I AM EATING so much sweets evenings are my downfall

4) still cannot believe I will be celebrating 6 months soon :) :)

You sound like you have cracked it Kyle !!

ps...today is not a good day, but my motto is this...tomorrow will be better :)

Hi John nice to hear from you.

Do you suffer low moods as well ? I'm getting concerned and thinking of taking it up with my Gp. One min high and next low it's making me feel crazy !

I was doing well but feel like there's more negatives now and I never used to feel like that!

My weight is getting me down.

Tonight I attempted zero sweets but eat a tub of blueberries ! Lol been a good day today though spent at the gym :)

John,

Just wanted to quickly say...THAT IS ME TOO ! Especially the bit where I don't even get pleasure out of the things I used to do...I love my home...can't be asked now to do things - I was always decorating, making things, crafts. That has All stopped. So glad to read that as you say possibly last end of the quit !

To sum it all up I feel like there's a switch in my head and that someone/something has turned it OFF ....I tell you thoughts have been in my head to start up again just to feel normal !! But I won't. I read in here that some people have had the same thing but this is not leaving me so I will go GP..but I don't want to take medication so what do I do ? Yes I feel better going to the gym BUT NOT like I used to.

You take care and look forward to celebrating with you in 6 months time :)

Brilliant

Well done Kyle a wonderful achievement 6 months of freedom! I had bad luck also, I found 50p on the pavement as I was picking it up a 6ft 4 guy tapped me on my shoulder and he said that's my £ so I gave him the 50p and told him I owed him 50p.
