Well 7 weeks for me, Carolrose, Ola and hopefully Gemma 2 - really hope she's OK!!
Am definitely on the up now and am doing my best to keep the positive mindset going - it is much easier if I don't allow myself to dwell on my craves and am trying to minimise them as much as possible. I realise they will come and go, i used to be a heavy smoker, and will have triggers to face until smoking is a distant memory. Can't wait for that day to arrive though!!
Well, I can't believe it's been so long, it's pretty good
You are on a roll now Hun,no turning back now:)all the bad bits are behind you,I feel it
Afm £150 saved( smoked Rollie's,too tight for proper fags)
And 1000 not smoked...OMG?..
It's good isn't it?
Am sure it's a mostly mental battle and I'm going to do my best to drive it along and not let myself get down. Whatever feels good, whatever makes my inner teen happy so she doesn't want to smoke is good
You're doing fab hun, and it's lovely to see it!!
Can you imagine 1000 fags all laid out? Scary amount isn't it?
I'd have rolled my own but I couldn't roll properly, mine would all fall apart oe keep going out :eek:
I couldn't roll properly either........but it never stopped me :D:D
LOL!!
I tried twice, made a total dog's breakfast of it the first time so gave up (not long before i gave up smoking for 18 months too) and again just before my last quit - maybe there's a pattern there?
Anyway, I probably made less than 5 decent fags and the tobacco I bought was mostly sticks *but* although I have never smoked in my car (and would kill anyone who thought about it :p) I did roll in there. Until very recently I was still finding bits of tobacco in the carpet
Ooh meant to say but forgot :eek:
What I did notice was that when i had a rollie, I didn't feel satisfied so used to smoke a "real" fag pretty quick after 'cos it didn't feel like I'd had one - which IMO says how much of smoking is a mental addiction!!
I am seriously,seriously proud of you Gemma Lou,you have tackled this quit head on and applied all the right dogged grit to ensuring you have not failed :D:D and all the while kept supporting others with your very own lovely light touch on the forum
One week until 8 weeks is BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!
xxxxxxxx
Aww thanks Max that's really lovely!!
Have had some dodgy moments but they're definitely getting less now!!
Oooh and I hope I'm helping and supporting other quitters - i get a lot of help from people on here and I want to help back :cool:
