7 weeks :D

[nsd_user663_54332]

Hiya

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

And here's my stats pics 'cos I like them

The number by the skull is the scariest of a whole set of scary numbers 'cos that's the number of people who have died of smoking since I quit. :eek:

Happy non-smoking Monday people xxx

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:

But we don't have to now

[nsd_user663_56237]

I couldn't roll properly either........but it never stopped me :D:D

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!!

Am thrilled to say that this worked.

Could feel it starting and my tummy was knotting ready for a big craving session but I told Nic to talk to the hand and *poof*

Have hardly thought about smoking since - not me doing it anyway.

It's a mind game all right!!

[nsd_user663_54332]

Gemma I'm so happy for you.

You've fought through everything and I hope things settle down for you now x x

Aww thanks Karri

Am willing you on for your forever quit xxx

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nsd_user663_54332]

Wow Gemma , hip hip hip hourra!

Love you cell application. I tried to find one the same on the Net but I didn't find one. I don't have a cell.

So I cheat and follow your stats since you are so near my date

I am counting on you girl !

Hélène

Aww thanks Hélène

We're both doing flipping fab!!

Wonder if any of the quit smoking sites has got PC based apps? They should have!!

Oooh I'll keep going xx

[nsd_user663_54332]

OMG the sculls :eek:

I didn't know that :eek:

It's a sobering thought isn't it?

[nsd_user663_54332]

I searched for about 2 hours but didn't find any similar to yours for PC. Maybe I was out of luck, so much stuff in the Net.

And YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. We are doing gooooooooooooooood

Hélène

We definitely are

Oooh that's a pain, I'd have thought there'd be something out there!!
